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.

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.Check your privilege.
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.
