Don't we know enough about each other already?

No.
No we should not, unless you want to hear stories like this:
A week or two ago I had to use the restroom in a convenience store, while I was out running errands. (Like, I had to, getting old sucks). I mentioned that fact to someone later, and they demanded to know, horrified, how I figured that I could use a probably pestilence ridden public stall like that and still maintain proper plague hygiene and social distancing protocols, and not endanger myself and the public at large. I pointed out to them that during the entire process I did wear a mask (although it didn't filter the air quite as thoroughly as I would have liked at that moment), that the facility in question was a basic one-holer with a locking door, so there was nobody within six feet of me during the time in question, and, most importantly, while I did sit and my butt did touch the seat, I was very careful not to touch my face with my butt at any time.

While they've gradually declined in popularity over the years, in Japan squat toilets can still regularly be found. Without getting into too much detail, when it comes to #2 I'd much rather be sitting. And based on some conversations I've had with other ex-pats back in the day, I'm not the only one who was making mental notes of which shops in my area had Western-style toilets either.

It is best to, at the very least, elevate your legs when you are sitting when shitting to achieve more of a "squatting" position -- get the glutes activated!

I think we're all getting a little ahead of ourselves. We need to decide if we should start the thread first. Now is not the time for stories.

They still exist throughout Asia. Once while on a bullet train in Korea my intestines were in distress and I was horrified when I entered the bathroom on the train and discovered it was a squatter. Nothing like taking a diarrhea dump while crouching over a hole on train going like 300km per hour to really cement in your mind the flaws of such a toilet. |

I haven't been a student in a long time but I still remember where the good toilets were on campus.
