    Those are actually French toilets. They were designed like this so you can check for blood and other abnormalities. British toilets were designed so the poop would fall in the water, reducing the stench. The British design proved more popular, yet the French design is better with less splashing and for checking. It’s important to check, to find out if there’s something wrong with your intestines like cancer (black blood) or a tapeworm. The British didn’t find this important, just like washing hands after pooping.

      Hungarian here, many in this country prefer the “betegvécé” (French), yet cannot say anything about what they should check for. It’s just virtue signaling, no matter how much people have been abusing that term.

      Are you unable to see blood if it falls in the water?

        You can absolutely see your poop in the water and the water would turn red or a darker color if there was blood which is probably more obvious lol

          If you don’t wipe so it isn’t covered with toilet paper, sure.

            You can look before you throw toilet paper. How does a poop shelf act any different when you throw toilet paper on it
