I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?
People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!
Button press it! Which one you say? Any of the two if not enough press again the same or the other. hope it helps.
Allow me to introduce you to the scientific method.
Observation: The buttons are different sizes. Hypothesis: The size of the buttons could indicate the amount of flushing that occurs when the buttons are pushed. Experiment: video record the amount of flow resulting from the pushing of the one of the buttons. Wait 60 seconds. Record the amount to flow resulting from the pushing of the other button. Wait 60 seconds. Record the amount of flow resulting from the pushing of both buttons simultaneously. Then compare videos. Conclusion: __________________
Welp. Isn't it obvious? The smaller one for your pee and the bigger one for your brown colored dump
But ONLY if it's brown. Any other color has a corresponding button under the tank.
NSFW would be if you haven't closed the toilet.
NSFW is short for not safe for work. The tag is to be put on pictures or texts that shouldn't be viewed when there's a chance of someone else glancing at your screen. I think a picture of a toilet while could raise some questions does not fall into that category.
This made me realise that this kind of flush must not be the defacto standard in some parts of the world
It is the defecal standard though.
Even if it wasn't, it should not require instructions.
I can kinda understand. Perhaps op pressed the low flush button trying to get rid of a massive turd and panicked.
The little one is impulse power, the big one is warp speed. Press both for Stargate.
Indeed.
You can also turn the knob to enter the nether for 8 times faster travel.
The right one is on this side ➡️
So the smaller seashell shape makes a small flush. The larger seashell shape makes a bigger flush, and the combined seashell shape (both buttons) makes a huge flush.
I’ve had 3 of these toilets for the last 4 years and I never knew you could COMBINE flush?!
It’s only two flush sizes. Pressing both doesn’t do anything more.
OP: "How do I push a button?"
Small for pee, big for poo.
Both for burrito.
One extra feature most of these have is small=3L, large=6L, large but hold the button down=9L.
I hope those volumes are discharge and not....err... discharge
Bigger button is for solid waste, smaller button uses less water for liquid waste.
Is that common?
Nowadays I just don't know anynore. I find toilets where it's swapped.
I also want to say that I grew up with toilets where the bigger button is the one for your more common usecase - liquid waste. Oftern the smaller button is set up to push the bigger button as well - to clean solid waste.
If using a new toilet, I always try out the bigger button first, since it's easier to press and typically uses less water.
"I took a double button press of a dump."
If you only need the little button for your shits you need more fibre in your diet.
He doesn't know about the two seashells!
I've always used three...not sure I know about the two seashell method either
Three seashells? Do you come from 2032 or something?
don't
This is so wholesome, never be concerned about asking questions like this. Most folks are lurkers, I'm sure your question educated more folks than you realize. Be well out there.
Personally I think I could have worked out a 2 button system myself via trial and error. It's hardly a high risk activity.
Then how DO you use the 3 seashells?
One is forward/play, the other is rewind. DON'T push rewind.
So pressing both of them at same time takes a screenshot?
Yeah but if the toilet has WiFi it automatically shares a pic with anyone in the house so gotta switch that off.
Unless you really want to ;D
