London somehow managed to make pissing in the bushes look comparatively more civilized and dignified then using a public toilet.

How does London piss shame you for pissing on thatcher's grave?

People SHOULD be pissing on thatcher's grave.

We need a large pit in the centre of every town called the "Animal Zone" where people perform all the foul mechanisms of the flesh while being bombarded by extremely loud white noise and blinding strobe lights that temporarily shuts down their frontal lobes. Allowing them to crawl out of the Animal Zone like emerging from a trance, blissfully unaware of their horrific function as meat tubes born to convey material from one end to the other. But also subtly aware of this shameful fact in the deepest reaches of their subconcious.

I always forget people get charged to use bathrooms in Europe, very odd

i mean it seems like a roundabout version of the same system in some US cities too. there are essentially no public toilets in NYC and the cities' official guideline is to go into businesses to use the bathroom which will often only be open to paying customers. have to imagine it's a problem more or less in any city in capitalism, they're hostile spaces to humans where you're supposed to buy stuff or fuck off basically

I don't think it's as common in the UK nowadays compared to the 90s (they seem to have removed almost all of their public toilets instead), but I recently found one that charged 20p and only accepted card payments. I don't know how it's even worth them taking payments unless the card providers waive their fees.

In the city I'm at in the US there is essentially no public bathroom, and nearly all of those in businesses are customer only, so it's basically a charge system here too. There are libraries that have free bathrooms, but transit stations have none except the larger train stations.

san francisco is probably the worst example of this and they wonder why there's so much shit on the streets.

Men can just whip out their dick and piss in literal public, meanwhile if a trans woman tries to use her bathroom some chud will shoot her.

ukkk

The only appropriate place for this "Very Public Toilet" is Thatcher's grave in England, Reagan's grave in the US, etc.
