      I was today years old when I realised Americans have to manually flush their urinals. It’s basically half the advantage gone.

        Depends where you are and how old the place is. Newer places (last 15ish years or so) will have the auto flush toilets but most businesses only upgrade the bathrooms when things brake.

            No they meant brake. Like, the urinal’s smooth and continued function brakes. Comes to a halt.

          It’s not even upgrade, even twenty years ago, most of them were either always rinsing or on some sort of intermittent timer. I guess when they were just a big communal trench it didn’t make sense for them to be flushed by an individual. (UK / various Europe)

          In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that’s slowly and continuously filled with water.

          So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.

          And it’s been that way basically forever.

            Sounds like a waste of water. Why not simply use motion sensors or flushless urinals like they do in the US?

              They’re typically just called a “urinal automatic syphon”

        Once I did my business at a public urinal in Texas and was walking away and then as I was washing my hands this old white guy that went to use the urinal after me gave me a dirty look. And only then did I realize that it was not a self flushing urinal, like it’s been so long since I’ve seen one that it needs to be manually flushed that I didn’t even consider that.

        We do? Urinals with manual flush are rare. These days there’s either a motion sensor, or a flushless urinal installed.
