Wasn’t this one of the things that surprised doughboys back in WWI? The open air urinals? More than a century ago? It is apparently nothing new.

Yep. they’ve had them in Europe for a long time, some alleyways would have a slow “waterfall” pipe that flowed down the wall and guys would just stand there (not always with a half-wall hiding them) & pee on the wall/into the gutter and it would wash down the grate. My husband dragged his mother thru’ one of these one time when he was trying to find a shortcut!
Maybe these are different because of the straw bales & recycling for compost?
I remember seeing a men’s urinal in Grenoble on a path along the river! At first I didn’t know what it was although when I got closer I saw men going in, standing for a minute and then exiting with a smile, haa!
