Stomp it down

Me, at the table, in the restaurant "I'm shitting right now. I haven't actually stopped shitting for twenty years"

It's saving water and helping the environment

It’s disgusting, but I have to admit… now I’m curious about the claim’s validity. 🤔

Not to mention, for some of us, it might be easier to have a garbage disposal in the tub.

A typical low flow toilet flushes about 1.6 to 1.8gal these days. Normal shower heads flow at about 2gpm.

1.6/2 = 0.8min, * 60sec/min = 48 seconds

Assuming that you are not effectively washing yourself while ijln the middle of waffle stomping. As long as you can waffle stomp in less than 48 seconds, it is a net gain for water usage.

Granted it would initially be difficult to start waffle stomping… 48 seconds seems like plenty of time to get it down with practice.

Can’t speak of the sanitation aspect of doing it though, as I can’t imagine it’s safe.

I've heard of this in a meme context for years, but do people actually do this?? I must know.

Yes. The poop comes easier squatting and it goes to the same sewer system so I don't see a reason not to shit in shower.

I am picturing bits of smelly corn perpetually floating at the top of the p-trap under the shower drain

This can be fixed by shitting in your hand and then throwing the turd in toilet

It clogs easier as the shower drain is not designed the same as the toilet. Eventually it will clog and you will have to pay for a plumber. Get a fucking stool to use for squatting, they work great and will save you money.

FFS.
