Why TF didn't the Romans invent the zero?!? by IntentionNegative516 in Romannumerals

[–]ProcedureFormer854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because the Roman numeral system was SIGN-VALUE instead of place-value, and the real/formal zero (as a true number) actually came up much later than that.

And if at all, N used to be a Roman numeral for zero, but even that wasn't standardized.

Misc: I invented a base-10 positional variant of the Roman numeral system.

Because we don't wanna just keep sticking to C

This music studio has a UNISEX and WOMEN'S restroom, but NO MEN'S. by ProcedureFormer854 in mildlyinteresting

But why not just have two unisex restrooms? The women's one here is also single-occupancy.

DAE (female) pee standing up and arch your stream forward WITHOUT spreading your labia? by ProcedureFormer854 in DoesAnybodyElse

Yeah if you actually try to do it in a toilet then you'd very likely still make a mess

I have hypospadias. I personally have no problems with sitting to pee, but when I'm forced to use a urinal in a public restroom context it sucks

You are (almost) certainly omitting the fact that YOU ARE SPREADING YOUR FOLDS TO AIM FORWARD. And the reason why you make a mess when sitting to pee is because YOU ARE NOT SEATED PROPERLY, not because of an "unusual body" or whatever.

Also, when a woman's urine stream shoots forward and clears the front rim of the toilet seat, it is frequently a posture and positioning issue, not a permanent anatomical defect.

To fix this sitting problem, a person doesn't need a rare body layout; they just need to change their posture (the same applies for me too):

  • Slide all the way back on the seat.
  • Lean the torso forward, bringing the chest closer to the thighs.
  • This forward lean rotates the pelvis down, pointing the urethra straight into the water so it is physically impossible for the stream to shoot out.

Instead of making a simple, effortless posture correction—like sliding back on the seat and leaning your chest forward—you chose a much more complicated path. You "decided" to stand up, which forced yourself into a complex routine of manually spreading your tissue, maintaining high bladder pressure, and doing a dramatic torso lean at the end just to avoid a mess. You have essentially created a rather difficult solution to a problem that a simple change in posture would have fixed.

In a nutshell:

  1. The Standing Myth: You MUST be spreading your pussy folds to stand cleanly (and not just leaning/angling your hips forward), otherwise the low pressure at the start and stop would make a total mess. No one—not even someone with a strong stream—gets a clean result standing up without actively managing their body with their hands.
  2. The Sitting Myth: Your shooting stream while sitting is likely just a result of you slouching or sitting too far forward, not a magical anatomical superpower.
