I mostly see these in public restrooms or airports, seeing one in someones house instead of a lever is kinda like seeing a steel toilet paper holder. It’s not incorrect but just struck me as out of place, definitely the most normal thing in this picture tho
I think this is because dual flush is more modern, so newer built buildings or ones that are often renovated like businesses or airports would have them. I’ve seen the dual flush top button on new residential builds because it wastes less water and therefore more economical.
My grandmother’s house had a push-button flush in the early 80s when I visited, so probably earlier. She wasn’t wealthy or anything, and it wasn’t a new house at the time. How “modern” is modern?
I don’t think they’re modern in the sense that they were recently invented/introduced, but modern in the sense that they’re now becoming a lot more popular in places that have municipal/city sewer hookups.
Anecdore time: my grandparents built a little cabin on an island when they retired (more Puget Sound than tropical, they weren’t bajillionaires lol), but they had one 30 years ago, alongside an outhouse, simply because draining a septic tank on an island cost a fortune. Septic service company basically uses a pontoon retrofitted with a tank and built up to float with that much weight, and they’d have to transfer that to a septic truck in order to haul it away on the mainland.
They’ve been around for quite some time, but 20+ years ago you’d probably only encounter them being used in niche places like that, or in a recreational vehicle, or in other parts of the world where the cost of municipal water is a consideration
I was thinking specifically the dual flush ones, where you can choose the amount of water used. I’ve only seen those in the last 15 years or so but maybe they’re older than I thought.
Yeah, my gran’s one was the first time I’d seen that kind of thing. It was slimline and eco-friendly (for the time) and you bet you had to use the double-flush a few times if you’d been having the big lunches.
realizations in order:
lotta pink
pretty big for a bathroom
why is the plunger in front of the door
why is the bathtub in front of the door
Is that a rug because it goes under the tub
push button toilet
What’s the issue with the push button on the toilet? Most toilets in my country are just a button to push on top?
Yeah it just looks like a standard dual-flush to me. Very common in the United States.
Commie toilets.

You don’t get to be a superhero without defying public conventions… of porcelain placement and toilet flush preference.
I moved into a house which has one. I have no idea where to put my Kleenex box now.
Get the smaller square boxes, that should fit.
Rug also goes under toilet, where the plumbing connects.
Bathtub also only has a curtain on one side, leaving the end open for water to splash everywhere, and for cold air to constantly creep in.
Ah, but maybe the toilet is just a prop to make her home look “normal” and she disperses her guano in another, more batlike way?
Are we going to ask how and why the tub half blockes that door?

Is the toilet paper over the tub?
Bat soap holder.
Aah. Seems like Batgirl can survive without labeling every little thing.
nah clearly that’s a porcelain soap holder
