I’m actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?
One is forward/play, the other is rewind. DON’T push rewind.
So pressing both of them at same time takes a screenshot?
Yeah but if the toilet has WiFi it automatically shares a pic with anyone in the house so gotta switch that off.
Unless you really want to ;D
ITT: A lot of Lemmy users showing their true colors. Someone asks for help, for information, and y’all decide to mock.
OP: one button does a full flush, the other does a half flush. In your picture, the button on the right, does the half flush. Button on the left, does the full flush. Full flush is usually just x2, though I don’t think that’s a hard rule.
Looks like this one breaks the rules. Only the big button works.
Actually the little button sends an SOS to local authorities, so chances are the little button works fine and you have an incoming SWAT raid with paramedics and police surrounding the building.
These swat raids are getting out of hand!
I explained it to my kids like this:
1 button for #1.
2 buttons for #2.This is boringly not always true, for a while some genius, probably Elon Flush, decided to invert the functions so that when you pushed the bigger button you got the small flush.
Nothing like developing trust issues after taking a massive shit I suppose.
ITC: username checking out. It was a really dumb question
A question is a question… Just answer the damn question without judging it.
Better let someone know what the thing does instead of forcing them to experiment with it and (possibly) break it.
It was a very low stakes experiment. I wasn’t going to say anything until the high and mighty came to shame those razzing them about it
Ultimately I think my question, being smart or dumb is irrelevant, it brought activity to the community and that’s a great thing I think. The bad thing was the memes. The ‘how do I flush this’ posts kinda got wild.
This is your standard dual flush. One is flush, the other is eject. Which is which depends on the manufacturer. Just be careful, the eject can be quite forceful.
As for which button is the right one, it’s definitely the one on the right. The other is the left button.
Big button = big flush
Little button = little flush
This is so wholesome, never be concerned about asking questions like this. Most folks are lurkers, I’m sure your question educated more folks than you realize. Be well out there.
Personally I think I could have worked out a 2 button system myself via trial and error. It’s hardly a high risk activity.
Then how DO you use the 3 seashells?
Little button = peepee
Big button = poopoo
Both buttons for a toilet clogging doo doo
Bigger button is for solid waste, smaller button uses less water for liquid waste.
Is that common?
Nowadays I just don’t know anynore. I find toilets where it’s swapped.
I also want to say that I grew up with toilets where the bigger button is the one for your more common usecase - liquid waste. Oftern the smaller button is set up to push the bigger button as well - to clean solid waste.
If using a new toilet, I always try out the bigger button first, since it’s easier to press and typically uses less water.
“I took a double button press of a dump.”
If you only need the little button for your shits you need more fibre in your diet.
He doesn’t know about the two seashells!
I’ve always used three…not sure I know about the two seashell method either
Three seashells? Do you come from 2032 or something?
OP: “How do I push a button?”
The design couldn’t possibly be more intuitive without a turd icon.
I find the buttons with a small and a large droplet on them a little more clear, though from experience i know the small button is usually peepee mode
Lol 💩
With your finger you fuckin weirdo.
Which one? I have so many!
People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!
I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it’s that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.
This is insanity.
Pure anarchy.
From my experience, the large button does the flush, but the size of the flush depends on how far you push it down. The small one simply pulls the large flush button down with it, but stops it from going more than half-way, resulting in a smaller flush.
Small flushes are more common, so it makes some sense to make that button larger.
I think your button had been rotated
Are you american or what?
Yeehaw, I sure am.
Perhaps you could say how American toilets flush… presumably they’re sufficiently different that they don’t work like what you posted ?
Lever on the side usually, internals for residential and commercial comodes are very different. Most arn’t super water efficent, but maintenance can be done by just about anyone. (American here, Euro style toilets are just better)
Welllllllll howdy!
Small one for a #1, big one for a #2 and both for a #3.
#3 is for what comes out your three-hole.
