In some countries the toilets are sort of embedded in the floor and you squat over them. There’s some evidence that this is a healthier way to poop. But if you’ve only ever squatted in your life a toilet might be as confusing as the three shells.
Which is interesting because Japan has been pushing to replace all the washiki (squat) toilets in public places. I have a feeling handicap accessibility, aging populations, and (to a lesser degree) tourists are behind this. I hate squat toilets, but I have stomach issues that can make things messy regardless of diet, etc.
I saw this in a Japanese convenience store. Makes you wonder.
