They're called "étoiles de mer" in French

Okay…. Why are they called that?

What kind of toilettes are they using over there?!

[-] Lampadaire_raclette@jlai.lu 1 points 9 months ago

Thankfully they're not.

As xkforce@lemmy.world said above, "Étoile de mer" means "star from/of the sea". "Toilet of the sea" would be translated to "toilettes de mer" (wich don't exist)
