    Funner fact, humans don't naturally sit upright while taking a shit, period.
    Fun fact, if you move to a country, you should integrate and assimilate.

    Successful integration involves meeting halfway, point in fact. There's no incentive for people to assimilate if it's zero sum.

    And there's the simple fact that, again, how people choose to take a shit isn't a 'life or death' matter concerning culture.

    You grew up with the benefit of being raised with western style toilet training. Check your privilege.

    Well, technically, everyone shits into a hole on the ground. The disturbing image posted by Hubcap is one type of toilet used in ME, together with Western ones. Every doctor I know say these kind of toilets are more healthier.

    Are you seriously comparing the difference between squatting and sitting to violence against a minority?

    If the 'Muslim invasion' were actually a thing, maybe it's good because at the very least it might cut down the amount of whining about such utterly trivial bullshit.

    We get it, you don't like Muslims.

    I can't tell if you're being genuine or not.

    Squatting is bad for your knees. Good way to blow them out

    I imagine it's especially problematic for older people given that putting extra pressure on one's joints at that age isn't ideal?

    Here comes doctor Orlong to save the day. Amongst a doctorate in medicine, he also has a degree Witchcraft and Wizardry and a PhD in BSing.

    Thank you for correcting all the doctors world wide!

    To be fair, first time I heard of "squatting is better"....but then again I don't go out of my way to look up the best way to shit since what modern and western society has seems to work pretty well.

    Traditional squatting plates (as those seen in Turkey and some old south-European establishments) tend to produce undesirable odors, and are harder to maintain in order. They also require extra room below the floor (compared to sitting toilets).
    It wasn't rare to find them when I was growing up. They eventually got replaced because, while there are physiological reasons in favor of squatting (as pointed out) they are unpractical in maintenance, sanitation, etc.

    The product in the OP is similar to the many squatting adapters we've developed for decades. I doubt it'll catch on. It's one of those products that only appeals to the "all-natural" folk (organic foods, natural childbirth... those kind of hipsters).
    Our cultures had them; we rejected them; no reason at all to bring them back. As for immigrants from cultures that haven't rejected it yet, I guess some adaptations will need to be made while they transition and integrate.

    Oh........well that changes things.

    In this situation I guess I will for the people who don't know how to use a toilet to begin with.

    But in the case of people who do know where to take a dump I'm still going to ask "is it really so hard to sit on a toilet?" The turd will still come out of your ass if you sit down, I promise you.
