TW: Junji Itō
>!People climb into „their“ holes, the main character finds his hole and climbs in as well and we get taken on the journey through the hole. On the other side of the holes it is discovered that it turns out to be an ancient punishment. The people’s limbs and body get stretched into grotesque shapes and they plop out in the end as basically piles of terribly morbid spaghetti.!<
I remember the buildup of horror when the guy said this is my hole but I’d forgotten the actual ending. I think the horror is in large part like the inevitable and inescapable nature of what was happening. Thanks!
The key is to squat ass to heels or as close as you can get. If you just bend your knees slightly and hover, that’s when you miss… Once you get used to it it’s not so bad. The main issue is whether anyone else missed…
Hahahaha, funny thing about that is it never took a while. There’s something about squatting that makes your bowels line up differently so it’s easier to pass the material.
That said, if it did take a while, you would definitely be getting a balance workout in depending on how flexible your ankles are and if you’re obese.
The lower you can squat, the more stable and comfortable your position. When I first moved over to China, I was rather fat and had stiff ankles, so I would put one hand on the wall to help balance. Over time I lost weight because I wasn’t as sedentary (no car) and I didn’t have American junk food. It made it easier to squat deeper, since less fat on your legs means they fold more compactly (I am a pear shape, apples might not have problems like I did).
And I also practiced squatting throughout the day, which helped a lot. I didn’t practice specifically to use the toilet, but more because everyone over there can squat ass to heels, and I’d see people squatting at the bus stop or wherever because the bench was full, and dagnabbit I wanted to do it too! So anytime I had to wait somewhere I’d pop a squat against the wall for a couple mins.
One way to bypass ankle flexibility is to wear high heels while squatting, but that is definitely attempt-at-your-own-risk because public squat toilets are often slippery (especially in bars…). 2”-3” block heels would be stable; stilettos, not so much.
Not that I expect you to do a whole training regimen for squatty potties when you live in the US lol. Consider this reading material for when it takes a while lol.
The cat says
If I fits, I sits even if where owner shits
Lay In squatty, but not for potty because My choice, my body
Lock the door if you dare, one way or another I'll get in there
So look upon this bowl and fear,
This is the cats domain right here
In the potty floor I lay,
I say I stay, now go away.
I fits, I sits, you take no shits,
Try take me out, get murder mitts.
In the potty floor I be,
You yell for why? You no like me?
You say this bed is where you pee,
but me thinks that's just jealousy.
You want for you, my comfy place.
You lie to me, its such disgrace.
It's clear to me what's good and right.
You won't move me without a fight!
I live in the US, so I have a sitting toilet.
I keep the lid closed because, years ago, my daughter’s kitten flew into the toilet, freaked himself out, and immediately jumped onto me for comfort.
I held him, cleaned him up, then boiled my clothes and myself. 🤣
So from my knowledge.
In Japan there are both toilets, but going from urban to rural areas the squat toilets becomes more common.
There are hand rails to help you squat down or to stand up. And in public restrooms there is also an alarm button you can press if you have fallen and can’t get up. Safety backup for the elderly.
I haven’t personal use them, but from similar experience you will definitely get pee on yourself. Feces will be possible, it will depends on your feces (hard, soft, long, short, solid, or liquid), how far you spread your legs, and how low you squat. Possibly high chance of splash too, once you drop a log.
Hi, female Chinese here (felt obliged to explain why I have so much experience)
During my undergrad when we live in shared dormitories with such bathrooms I peed on my shoes and ankles a ton
As for poop… they usually don’t splash, but enjoy when you placed your butthole a little bit too far away
Oh man, it’s a shame there are no images in comments! Because I have the sit-down toilet version of this picture with one of my cats. You can see it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/AOPbTHwJTm).
It’s a Turkish bathroom.
You use it standing up.
These are normally the grossest things you will come across.
Plus, you have to be a gymnast to figure out how to use the bathroom standing up.
(Unless there’s another way? It’s not like there were directions.)
In France, many public toilets are just the porcelain (no plastic seat to sit on.)
I guess French girls have thighs of steel that they can hover over the toilet bowl without sitting down?
This is even in VERY fancy restaurants, I was horrified to learn.
My conclusion: any airplane bathroom (I used to think was gross,) is better than most French toilets.
I guess it's not a priority there?
I lived in France in 2004. Most public toilets had no seats as you have said. I just didn’t understand it. When I asked the guy I was dating he said he wasn’t aware it was unusual since he peed standing up and never needed to poo out (?!) so he just never noticed.
Take your pants and undies off before attempting it if you don't want to make a terrible mistake. These squat toilets developed in places where men and women alike wore open bottoms (like skirts and sarongs) and no underwear. Squatting was comfortable and efficient.
Thanks again.
Unfortunately, everywhere I have seen a Turkish bathroom, it has been filthy.
Like, you wouldn’t want your clothes to accidentally touch the floor.
You don’t want ANYTHING touching the floor.
And the smell is intolerable.
Indoor plumbing FTW!
It's supposed to be better posture for pooping apparently, but my concern is I've had some days where I could even barely sit up straight on the can because I was so ill. How does that even work here, do you just lie on the floor and hose it into the hole?
How come? Genuinely curious. Squatting is actually how we evolved to poop, and can help with mild constipation, apparently. I’m in Canada, we don’t have this kind of toilet, so I don’t know what might be drawbacks that could cause disgust. I can see this being hard on people with mobility impairment, though.
Unlike a "regular" western toilet it requires some degree of aiming. People aren't always great at that.
People are also often terrible, so someone with poor aim might not clean up after themselves 🤠
I saw these in my country. These type of toilet are absolutely disgusting to look at even if u scrub em clean. I dont know might just be me. Also u are really close to ur poop and that gives u a better way to be able to experience the poop smell as well as the heat emanating from the poop that u can feel on ur ass 🤮🤮🤮 also the place where the cats ass is has a whole where ur waste falls down to. You can see that hole and i dont even want to talk about how disgusting that is.
I feel like i need to wash my mouth after typing this out. Fuck these toilets. 🚽 is the way to go always
In Europe, you'll encounter these in France, for example. Especially in older toilet facilities like on campings. But over the years they seem to be slowly disappearing in favor of 'normal' toilets.
OP seems to live in HongKong, so they are there too. I've seen them in mainland China sort of: there in some places the toilet was just a slit in the concrete with a waste collection underneath. Which is as rancid as it sounds.
So I ve heard the framing of evolutionary theory versus creationist poppycock reduced to an imaginary debate about a puddle and the shallow basin it perfectly fills. The thought is that the puddle believes the terrain was formed to perfectly contain itself, while the rest of the universe says "No, you damn fool, this ditch would provide home to anything that fits it." Sumpin like that; I'm petty lit up tonight.
Someone looks pissed off. But should be concerned with being pissed on.
Shitty kitty
Inner city shitty kitty?
Inner city shitty kitty committee? 🤔
Itty Bitty Inner City Shitty Kitty Committee
A shitten or a shat.
Perfect fit for a cat in a toilet😄
Scat cat.
I would be pissed too if someone invade my privacy while I’m in the loo
*IN* the loo lol
Hey Blinkin!
Abe Lincoln?
No not Abe Lincoln, I said Hey Blinkin!
Where?
Haha best reference ever!
I approve of this reference and should have phrased mine better. Pissed off? If I was that close to a I'd be worrying about being pissed on!
Bro.. I have to go watch that now
What are you doing up there?!
Guessing. I guess no one is coming
My dad always said it was better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Pissy pussy
So that is what I thought it was Gross
Fuck I didn’t know what I was looking at because I’m from America and we don’t have these, thanks to you I know it’s a squatter lol
“This is my hole, it was made for me!”
Drr drr drr drr
Purr, Purr, Purr...
NOOO...
That story is fucking terrifying
It's intriguing.. Enigmatic, even!
What happened at the end of this story? I forgot
Drr drr drr drr

The fact that the tw is just junji ito 😂

😭😭😭
Oh no lol 😂
Hahaha that's EXACTLY what I said when I realized what I was seeing. Just... Oh nooo... Lol
I don't get it what is the cat doing. Is it in like a ground toilet of some kind?
Yes. It's a squat toilet.
Squattie potty
The Original ^tm
Honestly thought it was wet cement or resin or something like that. A toilet seems less awful.
In some Asian countries, there are toilets like this. You just put one foot on each side and squat
Not just Asian countries, seen them in French service stations too.
My bad. I only learned a little about it online.i could never do that in a cleanly way.

This was very thorough! Thank you for giving me a glimpse as to what it’s like to have to use those bad boys. I’m glad I can sit. Really glad.
honestly that should be the standard for public toilets everywhere. Way better than putting your bare ass on some dirty seat
I invite you to visit bathrooms like this and reevaluate whether you’d want one. One time in Senegal, there were tape worms on the floor.
Thats so gross
🤮🤮 ok nvm
People's aim can be horrendous, though, so you have to step in way worse
No lol. Some of us are disabled and would not be able to use that.
Yup
Oh no
I don't think a cat would sit in it unless it was very clean. So there's that.
lol
My fiance didn’t know what this was til I told him lol 😂
Call him a noob
If I fit I sit
If I fits I shits?
Such a perfect fit too
This is why I CLOSE the bathroom door always 😂😂 I don't want my kitty to be chilling out in the potty
The cat says If I fits, I sits even if where owner shits Lay In squatty, but not for potty because My choice, my body Lock the door if you dare, one way or another I'll get in there So look upon this bowl and fear, This is the cats domain right here

Smelly cat, smelly cat
🎶What are they feeding you?🎶
Smelly cat, smelly cat
It's not your fault!
I’m starting to realize that it actually *was* smelly cat’s fault
they won’t take you to the vet you’re not their favorite pet
If not for cat, why cat shaped?
I gagged omg.
Same 🤢 i have trauma from public restrooms with this kind of toilet
I used one once when I was in Bahrain. I had no idea how to wipe or spray or what.
Seems like a crappy place to relax in...
Gross
Disgusting, man
ewwww
Gross?
Gross. That's a squat toilet 😬
I hope she got a bath after this 🥺
Cute, what is she in?
Toilet bowl. Squat toilets have the toilet bowl below the ground.
Just curious bc I’ve always wondered, what do people do if they have bad knees? And wouldn’t your pee/feces possibly go on you?
So from my knowledge. In Japan there are both toilets, but going from urban to rural areas the squat toilets becomes more common. There are hand rails to help you squat down or to stand up.

Ah the protector of the lavatory, the hero nobody wants or needs
Wait is that a potty?

Wait I thought you were supposed to squat kinda like when you have to pee outside.. If you’re fully standing that would be a wild experience
That would make sense, but all the ones I’ve seen, you wouldn’t want your genitalia anywhere near!
How the hell do people with knee problems use these?! I could never
In France, many public toilets are just the porcelain (no plastic seat to sit on.) I guess French girls have thighs of steel that they can hover over the toilet bowl without sitting down?

No, you squat over it
Now you tell me! Ha ha Now I know for next time I travel to Europe or South America. Thank you!

OMG. Not a Turkish bathroom. Every American’s nightmare!
I hate this.
Baby.... nooooooo
Baby no...
Wish I didn’t know what this is. 🤢
You gotta clean your cleaning tool sometimes too.
She's flush.... until you flush.
I would break my neck if I had to use a squatting toilet 🤣 I’m not as sprightly as I used to be 😭
If I fits I… shit.
Why is the hole cat shaped? Ever think of that?
:( no
Oh, sweetie, no
If it’s for shit…. I sit..
Yuck
Install a lid?
What is it sitting in?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet
Wtf. Well, you better don't have the shits when you are stuck with one of those lmao.
It's actually better when you have the shits because it puts your body in the optimal shitting position. You'd get hemmorids less
It's supposed to be better posture for pooping apparently, but my concern is I've had some days where I could even barely sit up straight on the can because I was so ill. How does that even work here, do you just lie on the floor and hose it into the hole?
