I had to squat over a urine covered toilet seat and had the titled thought…
Dude. This a real thing. Go to some place where they stil have squat toilets. Like rural china. Fackin’ thick legs.
Maybe because they walk a lot more than others? Squatting is not hard on the legs. If you think it is, you’re squatting wrong.
Funny thing is, where squat toilets are the norm, proper squatting technique would basically be their toilet training, so for those new to them…They need to be toilet trained all over again.
Kids in diapers everywhere squat instinctively, potty training is just about finding the right place.
Yes they did have stronger legs.
No, it was not because of lack of toilet seats. It was because people had to walk everywhere. Horses were expensive and the bike wasn’t invented yet.
People didn’t sit and hover over a seat. They would squat all the way down (over a hole) where you can rest comfortably (with the right technique)
Good point. I’ve had to do this in many countries. It takes practice. In S Korea we called it the Odeshy squat. You get used to it and kinda prefer it if you’re standing for a while. Hell I still do it.
