In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.
So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.
I don't want to go into a big long thesis so I'll try to summize.
America, now firmly cemented in its boarders, fully federalised and with a wealth of natural resources and ballooning population was becoming a big power by the start of the 20th century and American politicians were putting in considerable effort into undermining the big European powers, but especially Britain.
The British empire being so spread out made it hard to defend and control. So with Britain and it's colonies fighting on every front for the whole length of the war Britain lost many colonial holdings in Asia.
Those colonies also paid a heavy price in the fighting and independent movements flourished after the war and Britain didn't have the money or political will the fight them, so the empire dissolved.
America was able to use its war economy to massively ramp up its domestic manufacturing.
They were also able to use their position as financers and occupiers in Europe and Asia to extend considerable American influence to those regions. And also Latin America and the Caribbean. Giving American companies influence over much of the world without the obligations the British Empire had.
Honestly as someone under 30 I could accept this. Obviously universal 4 day week would be better, but if this would sell the idea to the boomers it would be worth it.
Yes I volunteer with an after school club once a month to do a comp Sci "class" with disabled kids.
And one in particular who can barely hold a pencil without help and wouldn't even be able to draw a stick figure on his own cried when I set up the new chatgpt model for him.
But don't let that get in the way of the anti-AI circlejerk by all means.
I genuinely can't imagine how empty your life would have to be to sign up to lemmy and spend your tragically finite time on this earth """trolling""" people.
Go to twitter, make some like minded freinds, maybe pickup a hobby or something dude.
Off topic and not a criticism of this meme, op or anyone who likes this, but this is a great illustration if why right wing politics is on the rise with younger people.
Being a piece of shit is kind of just funny. Like people don't really make memes or sarcastically talk about being a good person, as it's just not funny.
And while this is obviously not serious and probably won't start a trend of people actually drunk driving, that IS how a lot of shitty modern trends start, with people doing it sarcastically for the meme, then someone else takes it bit more seriously to take the joke further and someone else takes it even further, until people are actual serious racists or misogynists for the meme.
They're typically just called a "urinal automatic syphon"
Here's a great Steve Mould video on them if you want to learn more
