Sitzpinklers - men who sit down to pee - is a big thing in Germany, and a handful of other places. And if Josh and Chuck have any say it’ll catch on like wildfire around the world.
In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly serious topic of whether men should sit down to pee, exploring how this practice became a cultural movement in Germany and Japan starting in the early 2000s. They break down the science behind why sitting is actually more hygienic and effective, discuss the physics of urine splatter, and reveal survey data showing that German men lead the world in sitting to pee at 62 percent. It's a lighthearted yet informative look at a bathroom habit that's way more nuanced than you'd think, complete with German toilet voice boxes and some very relatable personal confessions from the hosts.
