they're literally just worse toilets. you can't shit in a urinal but you can both shit and piss in a toilet. therefore urinals are complwtely redundant. just use the urinal space for more toilets

    consider this: the trough style of urinal where one wall is just a large continuous urinal allows for an incredible amount of simultaneous pissing if those with the stronger streams stand back one rank and piss in between their comrades in the fore

      Under communism, there will be one international urinal running the length of the planet and all workers will pee as one united class.

          The bodies of right-wingers will line the piss aqueduct like a mausoleum, but it ends in a wastewater reclamation plant to provide sustainable fertilisers and monitor public health. You WILL walk to the equator to piss in the urinal of the proletariat. You WILL reunify town and country.

      Then when the one rank runs out of piss, they retire behind their comrades to kneel and chug water. With enough ranks of pissers it is possible to maintain a steady stream of well disciplined piss to overwhelm the enemy

        Mens rooms should install stadium style bleachers so that multiple rows of people can piss over each other

      Each guy is protected by the piss from the guy on the left and the guy on the right. A true piss phalanx

      Those are often scented hazardous waste. It's legal and cheap to dispose of it this way, because it's so insoluble, that every splash only flushes toxic waste amounts below the legal threshold in our water ways. But in the end everything ends up in the environment just the same.

    You can probably fit a row of 5 urinals in the same space as two standard toilets. So turnover for upright pissers is significantly faster in the same bathroom.

    you can't shit in a urinal

    Maybe I'm just built different but that isn't a challenge for me. I was probably a warrior in past lives.

    If you can think of a more efficient way to flavor urinal cakes I'm willing to listen.

    One little benefit is urinals take less water to flush. It’s like tricking dudes into using low flow toilets but without any griping and without the actual drawbacks of low flow toilets when they fail to properly carry away solid waste

    People need to piss more than they need to shit, so urinals save time. You don't have a bunch of people standing around waiting for a stall to open up.

    If you notice what venues often have a lot of urinals, its often music venues and sports stadiums, i.e. places people drink a lot, so they piss a lot.

    Cheaper, easier to clean, fulfills the inherent male urge to hit a target with their stream

    The trough-type urinals do create a sort of solidarity between drunken pissers, but I don't think it's worth the psychic damage from seeing one of those clogged (with shit, I assume, though I did not take a closer look) and filled to the brim
