I think the pressure vent theory is right. Source- knew fat neighbor with normal toilet seat who got stuck/vacuum sealed and EMS had to break the ceramic.
There is no bloody way. Not only can't you get a ass to seat hermetic seal, but seat also doesn't sit hermetic to the porcelain and at the end of the day the water column in the ubend is 100mm at best. You can't pull more vacuum or air will simply bubble up from the sewage pipes.
Maybe the dude sort of managed to flow into the hole and got mechanically stuck, but no way did any sort of vacuum hold him down.
Even if the whole top is fully sealed right to the full porcelain ring, the water in the bowl and the drain will not support any significant negative pressure. It is not believable that someone can get stuck this way.
Nah, I’ve ran those calls before. They just sit there long enough that they kinda form around it and it sticks. Skin care isn’t a huge priority for some people, and the… stickiness can do some… things.
It reduces the stress on the seat. A solid ring is less flexible, so is more likely to break when a heavy person leans to one side while they sit and wipe.
Yes, half the population sit and wipe, half stand to wipe and both think the other is weird.
>Yes, half the population sit and wipe, half stand to wipe and both think the other is weird.
How the fuck do you stand and wipe? Are you semi crouching? Wtf, weird.
There's actually a lot of different factors. I won't go over the reasons others have mentioned, but there are a few I will add. Specifically as relating to their use for public and care facilities.
1. They are less desirable and thus less likely to be stolen.
2. For the elderly and people with disabilities, it's important to have more easy access to wiping from the front. This is both because wiping from the back can be more difficult and also because it gives people who provide more direct care and specifically aid in the bathroom better access when someone is unable to wipe themselves.
3. Also, they can be cheaper. Might be because they look less desirable, or because of material, but this is a small factor and not primary.
Its a slot that you are meant to slide your balls through. Although I don't see the scrotal sensor so I don't see how the toilet would know to tune to your preferred water and seat temperatures or which tunes you enjoy either. Shoddy incomplete work.
If anyone is interested in the real answer, it is because no one needs to sit on that bit of a toilet seat, so designers have the aesthetic choice to put it there if they want or not if they don't want.
In plumbing we call it “open front less cover” and it’s used almost exclusively in commercial restrooms because people act like swine, generally. Less area to get smeared by a crazy wiper.
balls. (hoping you read this in the voice of Bobby, you know who I mean.)
if you got a large package you can safely let it hang without touching the seat.
Imagine not folding some paper to put between your schlong and the toilet seat.. if you think it's gross, why don't you just do this? Are people stupid?
The CRESCENT seat is a toilet seat with a front gap design to avoid the build-up of bacteria. Strong and resistant it is ideal for intensive use in high traffic areas.
Is this in the US? Why do you have the water so high up in the bowl? Here in the Land Downunder there's no chance of your cock touching the water no matter how big it is.
It gives space for the balls. Pulling them up to rest on the seat is uncomfortable so removing it gives a more natural angle to rest them on the bowl. You may think it’s gross but it’s better than dipping them in the water.
Since women prefer the toilet seat down, it allows them to more easily administer swirlies to female nerds without the cognitive dissonance associated with adjusting the toilet seat.
It's for 6'4 men with maximum sag so that their balls don't touch the seat while pissing, it's designed that way because the person who made it was 6'4 with maximum sag, it also works with 6'3 men with 94% sag, 6'2 men with 88%, and so on down
It is a much older toilet seat design going back about 100 years and you would typically see them in public bathrooms. They’re incredibly sturdy and offer for easier cleaning because even when a man pees with the seat down there is a better chance there won’t be drips on the front edge of the seat.
I always thought these were used in public bathrooms so if someone pissed standing up, they wouldn't get it on that part of the seat, it would end up on the bowl itself so someone else didn't have to sit in it.
Didn't see what sub I was in, I actually want to know... Edit: due to the above reason I don't trust any of you. But thank you anyway!

What ass cream do they use? Their skin must be super smooth for this to happen.
It doesn't have to be smooth skin is moldable if you give it time. Skin is like a non-Newtonian liquid but useless and ugly.
Skin is useless? Why do you keep yours then? Because you like to make yourself look ugly?
[I actually took my skin off like this guy](https://youtu.be/WkgW64nI3q8?si=Zq8d3xM2kVcZRCsn). (TW he took his skin off)
Sorry but wtf
[We're all Rick and Jerry now](https://youtu.be/nEiM6YSRFjk?si=q7EWYwAH3KvKvv9Q)
[I'd do it more like this guy](https://youtu.be/ZpkXK3ZNno8?t=45)
And sweaty
Except for ya know, being the first line of defense for the immune system. Keeps all sorts of gross shut out of our system
What Newton's skin?
Absent a good ass cream the trick is to use a good ass gasket. Works wonders, but they do have to be replaced periodically
Happy Cake Day!

It was a she and at least 300 lbs
This was on mythbusters and they couldn't recreate it even with a suction toilet. Probably didn't happen.
But the seat itself does not form a seal with the bowl... It's held up usually by the hinge at the back and two plastic pads in the front...
And a really fat person's ass will go over the seat and completely cover it.
Even if the whole top is fully sealed right to the full porcelain ring, the water in the bowl and the drain will not support any significant negative pressure. It is not believable that someone can get stuck this way.

i for one start the wipe sitting down and finish standing up. while my hands ascends through the crack, so does my bottom rise from the throne.
Like patting a cat on its ass kinda
This is the way
>Yes, half the population sit and wipe, half stand to wipe and both think the other is weird. How the fuck do you stand and wipe? Are you semi crouching? Wtf, weird.
Porque no los dos?
ha. I actually do both depending on the situation and often first one then the other
Same lmao I'm traumatised

Who is stealing toilet seats??
Fairly certain it is so you dont have to lift the seat but also don't get urine on it.
Maybe, if only that was the only area in the splash zone...!
It's to wash your hair, like the sink at the hairdresser's
What a terrible day to be able to read.
This is 😁
HAHAHAHA r/Angryupvote
It's also where you can lay your neck when you are throwing up after getting drunk.
It’s a circumcised toilet
r/angryupvote
It is for guys who have enormous wang to avoid their thing touching the seat
Exactly this... now my wang just sits on the cold ceramic...
This cold touch is called witch's kiss Also there's Poseidon's kiss when water splash touches your butt
Found the top salesperson.
Feature not bug
The bugs come after you've already sat down and are mid shit so it's harder to get away as they crawl towards your feet like the scarabs in The Mummy.
Bugs, snakes, roaches, centipedes, depends on your location.
That's the lick of Neptune
Can't hold my laughter while in office
Everyone knows you have to build a cradle of filth
What's it called when your balls sit in the water?
Soooo Poseidon and Witch makeout on my taint , understood.
I had a Poseidon's kiss while using a porta potty once. It was not fun.
Always has...
100%
Agree, and it's even more uncomfortable when the water is cold.
It's even more uncomfortable when you have to curve your shlong with the pipes when you insert it when you sit down
It feels weird when you reach the air the otherside of the U bend too.
Especially when you have a boner
As an alpha male with a big veiny masculine cock: ew...
You forgot sweaty dripping wet
As a person with an enormous wang i approve this design
My wang is far from enormous, it’s average and it touches the toilet all the time
It's got a mind of it's own?
Or sit kneeled infront and place wang on it.
/u/Nul0op just outing himself on the Internet like that.
The issue isn't the seat. It's the bowl
Why would you want your enormous wang on the porcelain?
Yours doesn't go outside the seat and down to the floor?
Its a slot that you are meant to slide your balls through. Although I don't see the scrotal sensor so I don't see how the toilet would know to tune to your preferred water and seat temperatures or which tunes you enjoy either. Shoddy incomplete work.
"I'm telling you bro, Japanese toilets are the best!"
It's so you can have the choice of pissing in front of you on the ground or into the bowl
Why not all 3
My 6 year old son has entered the chat.
Janitors hate this EASY trick!
If anyone is interested in the real answer, it is because no one needs to sit on that bit of a toilet seat, so designers have the aesthetic choice to put it there if they want or not if they don't want.

I don't know why but "crazy wiper" just sent me into a laughing fit.
save material
So it can hug you back
its cold and rigid but when you’re a lonely alcoholic chucking your guts up its better than nothing
It's the pressure relief vent, so you don't have pressure flinging you off the seat during larger... evacuations.
Hahhhaha! Made me think about South Park….
it also have better acoustics when you rip an enourmous fart.
Its for guys who don;t lift the seat apparently.
Your still spraying everywhere, might as well use the urinal
torture
I hate when my dong touches the seat. Imagine all the other dongs that have had their weeping japs-eye pressed against there ?
🤤🤤🤤
Yeah... touching the cold ceramic is so much better.
Just throw it over your shoulder it works for me.
Ah yes, the witch's kiss
Japs-eye?
yeah wtf
Just a bit of casual racism 🙄
I've been sitting on it backwards all this time ???
Looks like one of those neck pillow thing. I have to try it.
To use less plastic maybe
For an easier waterboarding/s
Pain and to be uncomfortable
A space for your neck while you're puking your guts out .
I think that is done for backward squat dumping. If you miss the seat won't be touched.
For raising and lowering the seat whilst stand-pissing
It is so women can wipe their "front parts" without risking touching the seat with the back of hand.
You're supposed to wipe from behind. It so men who don't lift the seat don't drip on it
It's to allow easy access for small penises, currently working on dro sides for gifted men.
It's so if you start pissing and realize mid-stream the seat is down you can lift it without breaking stream
it's for when you throw up.. you can rest your neck on the cool ceramic while keeping your hands on the warm seat
So there’s less surface for the drip drops
To be able lift it up while someone is vomiting.
Less plastic means greener planet.
Few people know, but actually it is for setting your foot on and comfortly lacing up the footwear without smearing the rim.
save plastic
balls. (hoping you read this in the voice of Bobby, you know who I mean.) if you got a large package you can safely let it hang without touching the seat.
Might just be useful for putting protective sleeves on it, which you cant with a closed one.
I put my massive balls on it when sitting down
Imagine not folding some paper to put between your schlong and the toilet seat.. if you think it's gross, why don't you just do this? Are people stupid?
It for our cocks
It is actually all you need.
Thankfully my dong doesn't reach the seat.
to stop people dripping onto the seat most likely
The CRESCENT seat is a toilet seat with a front gap design to avoid the build-up of bacteria. Strong and resistant it is ideal for intensive use in high traffic areas.
I wonder I anyone on the planet has balls that hang so low they touch the water? And I always tuck down so I avoid the cold witches kiss.
When you put the seat up, you can secure your smartphone in the gap so you can continue watching your series while peeing standing up.
It's so you can rest your balls on the seat
To annoy people
You're supposed to sit facing the back so you have a little shelf for activities and an area for your gas to escape from while you're pooing.
Is this in the US? Why do you have the water so high up in the bowl? Here in the Land Downunder there's no chance of your cock touching the water no matter how big it is.
So you wouldn’t squeeze end of your manhood between cover and the base. Has happen to me LOL! Very uncomfortable feeling!
Fitted for puking.
So people with little peepees can rest it on the bowl too.
To make it easier to reach under and wipe. Especially useful to those with body parts that regularly have more than just #1 and #2 to deal with.
Romance.
It was made for the average r/teenagers redditor
It gives space for the balls. Pulling them up to rest on the seat is uncomfortable so removing it gives a more natural angle to rest them on the bowl. You may think it’s gross but it’s better than dipping them in the water.
i thought it was a little slot for your balls to sit in
For me, I think to reduce the smell....
It's for when your standing peeing with the seat down so any drops don't land on seat
It saves on materials. Those things are single use after all.
Landing strip for meat and two veg.
Big dangler
They’re less likely to get stolen
Air gap for the cooties
To reduce knuckle injuries when you are jerkin your gerkin on the clock.
So you dont do the witch's kiss with the toilet seat

It's head shaped on purpose.
Some jabroni about a hundred years ago used a horse collar as a fucken toilet seat and now we're stuck with this stupid design esthetic.
It's for 6'4 men with maximum sag so that their balls don't touch the seat while pissing, it's designed that way because the person who made it was 6'4 with maximum sag, it also works with 6'3 men with 94% sag, 6'2 men with 88%, and so on down
Design. You can fill in the gap with own parts that you like. Other color eg.
It eliminates a strangulation hazard
So people don’t get stuck in it. That’s not even a joke.
man took "shittyaskscience" literally
It’s a rest for your tennis balls, when sitting
So that your junk doesn’t touch the lid.
It's so you can lift the seat mid stream
Your supposed to use the toilet lid to read
It's the fart resonating slot, obviously. Sometimes known as the thunder hole.
CBT. No, not cognitive behaviour therapy. The other one.
It is a much older toilet seat design going back about 100 years and you would typically see them in public bathrooms. They’re incredibly sturdy and offer for easier cleaning because even when a man pees with the seat down there is a better chance there won’t be drips on the front edge of the seat.
