       @solsetur there is a public toilet at a local playground near my apartment here in Tokyo that is not so unlike these things, and Amsterdam also had lots of... Very public... And mobile.... Pissoirs. So these things have definitely made it to the modern age.Can't be sure about Greece though, since I seem to recall that "barbarism" refers to something that is outside of Greece. 😅

       @pizaman this came about cos my cousin said her French friend just wandered off to pee in the open on a street in Osaka (!!!) and I recalled reading something about peeing posts in England.. so I started researching and found this.But in historical context I guess a pissoir is better than having none, but to have it that open and with no flushing facilities today challenges what I think is socially acceptable and polite behaviour haha.Does the one near your place have no running water?

       @solsetur also, I once attended an english class at a French University where the British teacher explained to the students that public urination (at non-designated locations) can get you into trouble with the police in the UK, indicating that it is more accepted in France, which your story would also support.For the record, I have seen it in Tokyo as well.  During the day. On a big public street. By a Japanese person, by the looks of it. Certainly the exception though.

       @Haikyoneko @pizaman looks like the same model from the same manufacturer. Interesting.I am very sure I saw a pic some time ago of like metal posts or something in a wall allegedly near some english pub to serve as a peeing spot, but haven't been able to find it. Maybe it was AI slop? At least these receptacles probably keep the surroundings clean

       @pizaman @solsetur often see old Japanese guys pissing by the roadside.  I guess it used to be kinda acceptable, although not by younger generations.We should see the tradition die out in the near future.
