I remember being annoyed by splash back in sixth grade. I mocked up an alternative design (essentially, a urinal that tilted away from you), and emailed some friends. They never responded, and I never followed up.
Looking back I feel sad - that's the kind of curiosity to nurture in a kid. But peers are rarely the best group, it would've been better to tell my parents or the right kind of teacher. My friends also could've said something: " I don't know what to do about this but you should tell ms blah blah blah", in a serious way not mocking way.
I'm glad someone else has finally looked at this sticky situation
- altmanaltman 9d agoI mean you're sad about a hypothetical. Why not consider the alternative where even your parents and teachers will probably not care because who wants to hear about a splash free uniral design from a kid in sixth grade. Like if some kid walked up to me with that, I would ignore them too sorry.
- xivzgrev 9d agoExactly. I wouldn't expect most teachers to take an interest. One it's outside of their area of knowledge and two it's beyond their job description. But as I said, there are teachers who would. The right kind of teacher for this.

- xivzgrev 9d agoThanks! Ha no, I'm just saying when pee dries. The article talked mostly about splash on the surrounding area vs self, though I was more concerned with the latter
