This is a ridiculously amazing animation for a subject such as this. I mean it is so aesthetic and so well put together. It is also medically and scientifically accurate as alcohol is a relaxant which drops blood pressure and according to the law of pressure, a drop of fluid volume due to urination, also corresponds to a drop in blood pressure like a water hose losing water volume, thereby, the pressure is weaker. It is amazing.

[@nursejanainholland1978]

"Why you can piss on the street in Amsterdam"...if you've got a peen! I'm glad you covered the case of the woman who was fined for public urination. It's typically Dutch that the government said she must pay the fine after all. As a transplant to The Netherlands, and as a female who often needs to piss while in the big city, I've found that women (and guys unfortunate enough to have to poo) have to 1) find a public toilet, and 2) PAY for the privilege of using said toilet. Not fair, not equitable as far as peeing is concerned! I'm looking forward to seeing the urilifts in action...and especially looking forward to seeing how many of them actually cater to women. Will they be free for both sexes? Hmmmmm

[@SmD-ff5xd]

I don't understand why they can't make a urinal that both women and men could use, all they'd have to do is make the pan extend out a little more so it could fit between a woman's legs, then you could go either facing forward, or bent over facing back. Am I being an idiot? I don't see why that wouldn't work

I saw an even funnier one on TV years ago. I believe that show was also specifically about The Netherlands' public urinals. At a music festival, a really drunk and stupid guy who couldn't read the Dutch signs took the tablets as a snack provided, and the piss in the communal urinal as free beer. It was hilarious! But only because it was so very realistically done. I realize now that the signs would always be in English as well, so it had to be staged and not real, but at the time I didn't know that. It was so well done that it seemed believable. I did then and still do always have a healthy degree of scepticism, but I enjoyed it for what it was worth.

Urinals are just really easy. No flushing required, inherently more private than sitting down, no contact needed so hygiene requirements are way lower. Even if you design a standing toilet for women these issues are all at least partially at play.

​@@group555_ I totally get the practicality and how it’s a simple solution for 50% of the population. It's a great idea and I totally support it.

@@elisabethkulakov4863 those do exist as shown in the video but so far they aren't financially feasible to the same degree hence they'll be less common. Sadly someone has to pay to keep them going. I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment, just giving the main reason why.

[@diablo.the.cheater]

If i have to imagine it is more of a problem of unisex urinals/toilets being not very cost efficient. It wan't a decision between 100% of the population vs 50% of the population, but a decision between 50% of the population or 0% of the population. Also if these toilets are there to prevent the drunkards from pissing in the river, they only really need to care about men, women were not going to piss in the river anyway, it takes a men to be that idiotic. In my country the solution to the pissing problem has been to force all establishments to offer pissing for free to not customers, since if there is enough people for it to be a problem, there is going to be establishments open to sell stuff to that people, so we only need to force them to have bathrooms and offer them for free to everyone as a cost of doing business in such a centric place. More efficient than public bathrooms and cheaper as well, at least for the government, the cost is instead passed on the restaurants/bars than then pass it to their clients, mostly tourists that are the actual cause of the problem.

They first 'poped up' in the city of Groningen (NL). We get many German tourists. I'm sure that a German city planner saw the design and copied it.

Leuven (belgium) has had the pop up ones for 10 years now@@cyrilio

OK I just love the "p=.5" on the thing when you said "holding all other variables equal" 😂

[@jezusbloodie]

Oooo and I absolutely love your innovation with neon visuals

The plaskrul is such a good example of "Dutch Design", one of a handful "national" traditions of design that is globally dominant right now, together with scandanivian design, for example You should ask ChatGPT for a comprehensive run-down of what "Dutch design" means and maybe make a video on it 🐶

In my dutch town, Enschede, two elevator urinals rise from the ground around the entrance of the Old Church, centrally located in the middle of the main square with nightlife Why this is nifty is that it isnt just more hygienic and just better for air quality, but it's also saving the Old Church's sandstone walls from getting solved away by all the acidic piss. Now instead of the largest public urinal of town, it is the largest single bike-rack as it gets 360° surrounded by meters upon meters of bicycles three times a week or so

Only Hoog can make a video about urinals, compare it to ASML and Dutch water management and still sound serious. The Dutch humour used in the design of this video is clearly the best in the world.

Your animating is so good. Love that you can go from different styles.

This video is a true masterpiece, it walks the line between shitpost and sincere educational video

[@afergie76]

I used them many times when I visited Amsterdam. I wasn’t drunk at all, but did it because I could.

[@basti279]

True, they are just awesome. Available in many spaces, free and it is super fast and convenient to use. So yeah, I also use them all day long and not-drunk.

What a SUPERB TROLL VIDEO !!! 😂😂😂 🔥🔥🔥

[@JustAMonty]

Such high quality presentation mixed with mild parody and hyperbole, I love it.

[@alfieperry2561]
