I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?

Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

The small one's Stun, big one's Kill

Small one for a #1, big one for a #2 and both for a #3.

#3 is for what comes out your three-hole.

Small one is for #1, bigger one for #2.

The ones I've seen have symbols like "I / II" on the buttons, so you know which is which. Others here have explained the purpose. I guess in your picture, the #2 button is the bigger one.

Seriously had to make a post to figure this out?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There is this other line of thinking. Most frequently used should be more easily accessible hence bigger. That is what is causing confusion here.

A man needs to know how to flush after a good log.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sure, sure, I can respect that.

But when did "trial and error" go out the window for humanity in favour of "I should post about this"?

Fair's fair, that's honest and I believe you. I would probably also find some toilets somewhere in the world slightly amusing due to what I'm personally accustomed to.

I never knew I would stumble upon these wise words on such a difficult night

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I hope my wisdom has made your night just a little better.

Test it out. One is less water and the other releases more water.

IT IS FOR WATER CONSERVATION: The larger lever is to flush out around 6 to 9 liters of water, whereas the smaller lever is to flush out around 3 to 4.5 liters of water. Clearly, the larger one is to flush solid waste and the smaller one is to flush liquid waste.

That's very informative thank you! Might have to look into these myself for when/if I have the chance to buy a house in The future.

I thought it was one for pee, two for poo.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 5 months ago

Yes, in practicality, this is it.

This is your standard dual flush. One is flush, the other is eject. Which is which depends on the manufacturer. Just be careful, the eject can be quite forceful.

As for which button is the right one, it's definitely the one on the right. The other is the left button.
