Somewhere between building nuclear fusion reactors and decoding the human genome, humanity paused... and decided that peeing shouldn’t be a messy ordeal. Enter the Nautilus urinal: a piece of plumbing so thoughtfully engineered that it makes the 100-year-old standard look like a cruel prank played on pants and public floors everywhere.

and your Pants Pee-free

they are seriously underestimating my capabilities, as well as the efficacy of my laundromat and determination of the drunken hobos who live there.

They measure the angular degree of the appliance but I’ll wager a testicle they still have not tackled the more critical issue of the degree in temperature of cold porcelain. As I’m sure most men living anywhere with a latitude bigger than 45° can relate, there is nothing worse than having to chip onesself free on a cold night in the dead of winter.

Wait a sec, are you telling me your pee stream froze and you got stuck to the urinal!?!?

Dude writes so bscure he could sell me a cult

I appreciate improvements, but I don’t think this will solve the problem of pee shooting out in random directions (occasionally vertically down) before setting on a gentle spray in all directions at once. It’s not even like we’re free-handed firehosing the stream or anything - even carefully aimed, it can decide to just fuck off to the right for no damn reason.

Anyway, all this to say the floors will still be sticky, but hopefully less so.

Do you not pull back the hood before unleashing the flow?

mfers just open their zipper and start pissing, being dumbfounded at how this results in them pissing their pants

If you’re asking if I sound before pissing, no. If you’re asking if I go out of my way to piss on myself, also no.

Don’t claim your piss shoots out like a laser pointer. Nobody will believe you lol.

Edit: I think I misunderstood you. I’m in the US, and we tend to have this strange phenomenon when we’re born where the doctor likes to practice their surgical skills on our junk right out of the womb. So I think your question might be irrelevant to me basically.

Didn’t imagine I’ll write this down ever in my life but the solution is to open the hole for a sec so it can „reset“ and close up properly. Then it should be no problem. It can clog up from sweat or semen which creates this spray effect. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Aha, yes the removal of said hood kind of moots my question.

To illustrate this for the unaccustomed, of your junk is vanilla starting to pee whilst the urethra is covered can lead to a very chaotic trajectory, hence my question.

No one tells you either, so as a kid I had problems aiming until I found this out.

It’s not laser pointer without the hood, however it’s comfortably within the margin of error to not miss the bowl.

Nautilus was torture-tested with poor aim scenarios, erratic flow rates, and simulated misfires

reducing splashback by a staggering 98%

Seems like they did this properly, and while it’s not perfect it handles sprinkler mode pretty well

Sprinkler mode, I love it.

Hmmm that’s almost exclusively an after-ejaculation thing for mont dudes

Spread your hole a little bit before letting it rip. It’s because it’s blocked either because you’ve been sweaty, you nasty or you jacked off and it dried on the tip.

It also tends to spray under low pressure, which is unfortunately both at the start and end. Mid-piss, it’s generally fine from my experience.

Spoiler its this one

Just ask NASA for help, pretty sure they had a solution figured out a while ago or there would be chaos in the cosmos.

They just switched the vacuum from blow to suck.

We ain’t found shit.

Match!!

This isn’t new? I’ve seen splash less and no water, or both for years now.

Yep, seen those for a while now

I was really hoping the “live stream” would be just pee streaming into the urinal.

Do they suck last droplets before peen meets the pants?
