i take a knee when I pee at home because it's faster than sitting down and it avoids pee splashing

I don't understand, where are your legs in relation to the toilet?
this needs to be a site tagline
larry david is that you
yes, I've always peed sitting down (unless I'm using a public restroom and just have to piss, then I'm just gonna use the urinal unless I really want to sit for some reason)
only negative part is sitting in a toilet that has a higher water level than normal (which is a wtf thing in general because sometimes I'll walk into a friend's house and see their old ass toilet that probably uses like 4gal per flush and go "have you never considered spending the like $150 on a new toilet that will lower your water bill significantly...?? it's not 1970, technology has progressed please stop wasting water") or sitting in one with like a semi in the morning because 
i don't like when i can feel the top of the water with my foreskin

Can’t waste time at work scrolling on my phone while standing
At home I always sit when I pee at night because I don't want to concentrate too much on what I am doing, but I sit backwards because i find it easier to lie over the water tank while bending the hard-on so it doesn't make a fountain and staying half asleep. But I'll be standing anywhere else.
As a penis haver, my opinion has always been that generally, I am lazy and prefer to have a nice sit while I pee. But I appreciate having the option to stand if need be
Wow. A while back I unironically posted about how threads like this get tons of comments, while threads about other issues (such as "how do we reach lonely young males and prevent them from going down the right-wing pipeline?") get comparatively pretty much zero engagement: https://hexbear.net/comment/4214237
I kinda disagree. This thread is an oddity when usually threads barely reach 25 comments. Whereas if I were to post a thread that asked "is it socialist to sit down while peeing?" I'm guessing it might get 300+ comments. It's not just male loneliness threads, but threads that ask what to actually do with regards to society, revolution, etc. Those threads might barely reach 50 comments while threads about pig poop balls get like hundreds of comments. It just makes me realize that very few on hexbear are actually serious about anything. They just have strong political beliefs but nothing real to back them up. The very definition of "online left," so I guess I'm really not doing anything more here than just circlejerking I guess...
Jesus Christ the state of the western left.... fml
Well I mean topics like this are fairly low effort and are just meant for a laugh so it's much easier to get engagement. Serious topics in comparison require effort and knowledge to contribute to meaningfully which less people have time or ability to engage with in the same manner.
Also sites like this generally cultivate a base which largely have the same general opinions and views on the more serious stuff, so it's much harder to come up with something that hasn't already been discussed or studied to death.
At the end of the day the impact on the real world of anything that gets posted here is close to zero. Most people just want to have some fun with like minded people which can be hard to find in real life. So tell me, do you sit or stand when you piss?
Effortposting requires effort. If I'm popping off a few comments from the shitter while at work, I have time to crack some jokes but maybe not to solve society's problems
It really says a lot about society

Normalize power squatting. All the benefits of standing but you're closer to the bowl so much less mess.
counterpoint: this is why womens bathrooms are nasty
Best part is you can poop and pee at the same time, obvious one. Makes me LOL when I see a dude waste time at the urinal then go into the stall, bro you would have excreted poop and pee with one sit and been out. It is gender affirming AF to stand but that 2 for 1 action is hard to beat.
At home I always sit down to piss. My toilet has a kind of fucky shape seemingly design to maximise splashback, and I don't wanna deal with that. Another plus with sitting down is that some times you can sneak in a little dookie as well. very nice.
Reddit thread
At home, sure. But I do sometimes miss being able to stand up and aim when I'm on a hike or in a nasty portapotty.
I think i've got some issue with my prostate where i cant properly piss sitting down
The only situations where peeing sitting down is inferior are nasty public toilets and those bougie ceramic toilet rings that get freezing cold, I'd rather wipe off the few droplets than sit on either one
With that said, clean up your mess at least with a piece of toilet paper if you pee standing up (and it's not a nasty public toilet), easiest way is to squeeze what you can out in the toilet and dry the remaining with a piece of paper
With shaking you end up with piss on the walls and roof
E: and if you can't hit the bowl standing up without pissing on the floor, just piss in your pants if you can't sit down
The urinal at work seems designed for maximum splashback. I look like someone just used a spray bottle on my crotch from 4 ft away.
I like going on my phone while I pee
