    It doesn't say that in Japanese lol. I guess this means the Westerner urinators are the ones that need the extra instruction. In Japanese it just says "thanks for keeping the restroom clean"

    In China, a lot of the urinal signs say "For you, 1 small step forward, for society, 1 big step forward".

    The urinals still have a depressing amount of piss under them.

    According to machine translation:
    “Thank you for using the toilet cleanly.”

    This is the most Japanese thing I've ever seen.

    Maaaaaaan. This is spoken like someone who's never had a kidney stone, and needed lasers to be shoved up their urethra, and turned their insides into star wars.

    Now when I pee it comes out in 1 stream. Or maybe 6 seperate streams all going different ways. You never know.

    All joking aside, drinking more water is genuinely the most effective way to prevent kidney stones. Everyone should drink more water.

    Also there's something about high concentrations of caffeine and sugar ingested at the same time that correlates with higher occurrences of kidney stones, with energy drinks being the worst offenders.

    For me it was a combination of working in a factory at 135F degrees, and also drinking as much gatoraid as you can imagine you'd want. I'd buy the 24 pack of 32oz bottles. That would last 1-2 days.

    Apperently Gatoraid is also very high in salt.

    The Japanese have shame culture down to an art form.

    Moral reminders can apparently be very effective. I'm reminded of a couple of experiments performed at a university on the university students in a lab where they tested what changes would make students cheat more or less.

    In one experiment, university students were asked to sign a copy of the school's honor code before a test, and cheating went down. This, despite the fact that that particular university didn't have an official honor code.

    Another example was that students were given one of two tasks before taking a test. In one task, they were asked to recall up to 10 book titles. In the other task, they were asked to recall as many of the 10 commandments as possible. The ones who were asked to recall the 10 commandments cheated less, regardless of their religious beliefs.

    So, I suspect that this sign does achieve its intended purpose, to get English speakers to be more careful when peeing.

    I am always surprised at work how people manage to get piss not only on the divider but also on top of the urinal. Like that's the most wacky shit ever to me. lol

    Anyone know where I can get the original to print/laminate/frame around the various restrooms I see across the world? I’m being serious.

    toilet (direct object marker) cleanly (indirect object marker (among other uses)) use (command form) humbly receive (roughly), thanks very much.

    "Humbly receive" isn't exactly right, but it's one of the different formal registers we don't really have in English.

    Take your break at the same time, that's when you're supposed to urinate together.
