    Toilets typically take the water from the reservoir/tank from there, and the waste goes straight down, unless this is a sideways variant I’m not familiar with.

    Edit: the connection is still whack either way.

      It’s a toilet with a rear outlet, not uncommon at all I think. When installed on an upper floor, they are less intrusive on the living space below it.

        That’s what I’m thinking, it’s a very “interesting” way of doing it if that is the case.

          Funnily enough, I think that is an up flush toilet with the macerator part removed and 90 put on instead.

          Likely made it a urinal.

            Redneck-engineered urinal is the only thing that makes any sense, right? The shape molded into the porcelain makes me think it’s not a “normal” siphoning rear-discharge tall toilet (though it could be… I’m not a plumber). Still, if you have a slow trickle coming into the tank through that jury-rigged connector where the flush lever should be, and no flapper or working fill valve, then yeah, it could work as a urinal. Wasteful though, and absolutely inviting disaster if a guest needs to poop.

        You don’t need a pipe that wide for diarrhea, because diarrhea is all or mostly liquid

          The point is that the small pipe is too small* for normal excrement. So the toilet is only compatible with households with exclusively diarrhea.

          • or looks too small anyways, we aren’t plumbers.

            Oh silly me, I was looking at the wider pipe coming straight out of the toilet and didn’t pay attention to the smaller one coming out of it. My bad.
