Huh I thought we were laughing at the dick button but apparently people are confused by wall mounted toilets? 😅
I hate it. it must have absolutely massive wall support
Would not work for the average American
This joke is so underweighted
It’s funny I’ve lived with these all my life without even considering it 😅 Even public bathrooms which have to accommodate all kinds of people and ungodly usage scenarios commonly have those here. I’ve never heard stories of it being a problem ever.
However, these are usually mounted in solid brick or concrete walls, so that’s probably why it works here
-
window
-
transdimensional tp
-
penis button
-
gap under toilet for extra cleaning
-
open plan bathroom with no door
-
rounded wall corner
-
wallpaper close enough to absorb poop particles
-
lid doesn’t match rest of throne
-
no access to plumbing in my private domicile
get me outta here
I thought the tp was a lamp😅
Endless arguments about whether unrolling the toilet paper to the left or the right is correct.

Very common in Europe.
There is a steel frame behind the wall bolted to the wall and to the floor with the water container/chamber, and the toilet is held up by huge metal bolts.
The ceramic toilet part can usually hold minimum 300-400 kg, so you could dance on it without any issue.
It can be fully serviced through the push button plate.
Advantages: visually more clean, easier cleaning under the bowl, quiet operation behind the wall while filling up the chamber with water.
You mean you don’t have a full-length window to peer down on the peasants as you take your morning constitutional on your wall-mounted designer toilet?
That’s a normal toilet? Are US-Americans again confounded by something completely mundame, simply cos it doesn’t exist in their narrow mind which only consists out of US stuff? Lol
I initially thought that was a picture, then realized they were flush buttons. Excellent design, 10/10, no notes
Looks like a job for Dickbutt.
Lemmy comments support markdown, so if you paste the link inside brackets like this:
It shows up as the actual GIF, like this:
I guess it’s just my instance, but your post doesn’t show an inline image to me.
Thanks. I’ll do better next time.
If Kohler doesn’t have this as an option, they should.
So nobody mentioned the window yet huh
Thats a peanits
Why’s the TP holder pointing up?
Also, is the TP just kinda floating there a little?
Don’t like the assthetics?
Solving the over/under debate
So… Left or Right?
Widdershins, obviously.
Been doing exactly this for years because my cats like to unroll it.
This is the answer
Because AI confused a toilet roll holder with a wall mounted lamp and gave us something in-between.
I’m on vacation in Switzerland right now and I’ve seen this in a bunch of people’s home bathrooms.
Maybe because you’re less likely to accidentally whack the roll and knock it to the floor? 🤷♂️
You saw a bunch of people’s home bathrooms while on vacation?
Most of them were relatives we stayed with.
There were only like, maybe 7 occasions where I broke into a random home to inspect the toilet.
Related to why I’m not allowed back into Belgium ever again.
Does it unravel a little and brush against things?
It actually doesn’t. They have this absurdly high quality toilet paper that’s about 1.5x longer than the squares I always see in Canada, and it’s got to be like quilted 3 ply. It unrolls reluctantly and I swear I hear an angel chorus every time I pull a sheet.
Bro I have been to Europe once in my life and one of the few things my shattered psyche committed to long term memory was the multi-ply toilet paper. Like, the middle layer was a different material from the outer layers. These mfs have bidets AND good tp dude we live in the stone age on this side of the pond
Interesting. I usually go for the charmin strong, but even it, when I place it on my toilet paper holder which holds 5 rolls vertically like that. If the first glued on roll comes loose it’ll unravel annoyingly.
Must be cat owners.
A cat could easily pull it off a sideways roll.
Obviously there’s a flared base
fun
Big potato hypothesis this is in space
Looks like a pretty typical European toilet? What’s the problem?
The large flush button looks like it got clipped on the left but that could be a weird artistic decision.
The flush button looks like a penis.
Tap the tip for pee and the shaft for poo.
I thought pee was stored in the balls not the tip?
Oh, then I don’t know. I’m not a doctor 🤷
Poo is definitely stored in the shaft though
Why the fuck does it look like that? Are they in the running for most confusing possible button design?
I hate european toilets for this reason. If I cannot access the cistern due to a plumbing problem and have to literally rip apart panelling to diagnose any issue, then this toilet is anti-consumer
Edit: Actual Europeans pointing out that you can access the cistern by pulling out the button plate. Makes sense now, apologies, I didn’t know - it really looked like it was access hostile
No need to apologize. Even access through that panel is ridiculous. Those panels are 20x40cm max. Working at 90 degrees through a small opening is unnecessarily hard. And major repairs, which will be once every 30 years or so will require ripping the wall open.
It only makes sense for commercial installs where Hotels go through complete renovations every 10 years and and an extra .5 meter clearance is critical because the bathrooms are tiny in downtown European cities.
You can access and replace the entire internal mechanism through the hole the wall plate for the flush buttons is mounted on.
I just had a look because I have never had to service a toilet like this. The water shutoff appears to be easily accessible. As for any further work, an exposed tank is surely easier to deal with when a toilet misbehaves.
You can service and repair every part through the opening. It’s a bit tight, but doable.
No, you cannot service the joint between the tank and the bowl. And because it is hidden, it could leak for decades creating mold without anyone knowing until people get sick from black mold.
I have never seen or heard anything about that. Over here 95% of the crappers are wall mount with a hidden - whatever Spülkasten is called in English. The water reservoir with all the mechanics inside. What does frequently happen: If you got freshwater with a lot of minerals the flush mechanism can get stuck after 5 years or so. Therefore I open up mine once a year or so (no tools needed) and add some acid to decalcify stuff.
They got common in the late 80s / early 90s, before a very weird kind of crappers were common here which I can just call poop inspection crappers. Poop landed on a kind of “dry plate” and flushing would flush it off. You needed to brush more with a toilet brush, the advantage was no splashback. Those typically were floor. mount.
The flush button can be pushed upwards and taken off. Everything else is accessible from there.
Maybe there’s a closet for it rather than it just being in the wall?
Yes, but where – in a different room or an outside panel even.
Imagine needing to check the cistern and flush it - you have to run into the bathroom and out of it constantly to check
It’s right there behind the buttons. The whole button panel comes off, and leaves a hole in front of the mechanism.
Yeah, it could be a pain occasionally, though the amount of times I’ve opened it up to look in the past few years is few and the times I actually needed to get in there has been none so far here.
Though there was one toilet at one place I lived that wouldn’t close that seal properly and would just keep running the water since it couldn’t fill the reservoir and it needed to be pushed down every flush. But it was a college age problem that would have been better solved by solving the issue instead of dealing with it for the years we were there.
And on the pros side, less cleaning required, and what you need to clean is a simpler shape. Even better if that bathroom has a drain in the floor and the shower head can reach everywhere, though I doubt that’s the case with those floors.
I wouldn’t trust whatever is holding it to the wall long term.
Well yeah if u are an US-American maybe lol. Everyone else will be fine lol
You are just obsessed with America aren’t you! Come visit!
I’d actually like to, but as long as Trump is president I believe it would be safer to travel to North Korea and insult Kim-Jong Un publicly lol
Well, I don’t know that I agree with that, I’m sure you’re speaking tongue in cheek, but I will agree that it’s certainly not the best time. I think we’ll have a better idea where we’re headed in a few months. Fingers crossed!
As I’m currently building myself a house I can tell you that the wall mounted toilets are rated for 400kg at the tip,the furthermost from the wall, of the bowl.
400kg
That’s only 3 USAians if they are static.
Get 250kg (combined) humping reverse cowgirl and see what forces you get.
Not to kinkshame, but… sex literally on the toilet? 🤢
OK. It just seems like unnecessary engineering for the small advantage of being easier to clean under.
It’s really just a steel frame that gets bolted to the wall. Further down someone linked to one from Geberit, cost like 120€. It also has the water tank.
Easier cleaning is one thing and the best feature if you don’t care about the ecstatics. You can also chose the height freely.
*necrssary engineering. Love those!
Why not? Wall mounted toilets like this are super common here in Europe and there’s never an issue. The big advantage is that you can more easily clean underneath them.
What you don’t see is that the toilet isn’t actually held up by the wall itself. There’s a steel frame inside the wall linke this.
Why? Most commercial toilets are wall mounted and get shat in way more than consumer plinth toilets.
As a disabled dude who sits down on the shitter with the force of a kid literally jumping into bed, I give this toilet 2 visits with my ass before it tears off the wall.
I have a setup kind of like this and it’s rated for 200 kilos
There’s a whole structure inside the wall that secures the bowl
Because, on Lemmy, trust, optimism, and most expressions of positive thinking are seen as weakness, ignorance, or both.
Most consumer toilets are attached to concrete or cinder block walls but home walls are usually wood and drywall.
Not outside of the US they’re not.
What’s a stud?
Wrong community, this should be in c/lemmyshitterpost
That wood floor is going to be gross in a few years.
It’s tile
Nice catch.
AI? Absolutely seamless window frame and baseboard trim, like it’s one single piece and completely uniform.
It’s a 3D render. They also provide their CAD files.
It is pretty funny to me that AI has made people completely forget that things like Photoshop and Blender exist, instead categorizing all content as “100% real” or “100% AI”.
It is pretty funny to me that Photoshop® has made people completely forget that image editors like krita and the gimp exist, instead categorizing all tool categories by brand names.
Eh, it’s the same story as Xerox, Thermos and much more. Google it!
Press button for penis in ass

you lied to me
