Toilets are one of those things you take for granted. That is, until you travel. Because, as equal as our physiological needs make us (we all eat, we all poop), that doesn’t mean the place we choose to do it is always the same. German toilets, for example, have a shelf to catch your poop so you can examine it before flushing. Chinese public restrooms have no walls or doors or locks (why would you want to hide while doing something so natural?). In space, well, let’s just say there’s a vacuum involved.

The guys at Fast Cover decided to research this topic and came up with this fun infographic with WTF World Toilet Facts, with the rules and reasons behind some of the most unique toilet experiences from all over the world. How many have you experienced?
