I was once at this bar/restaurant and the restrooms had no signage. I spent a long time trying to decipher the art. Eventually I decided that the flower must be the women’s and the mushroom must be the men’s.
Yeah they were gender neutral, but I did pick the ones with the urinals so that was convenient
I’m not sure I understand how gender neutral toilets work, it seems.
On the other hand, I prefer toilets to be divided by ‘with urinals’ and ‘without urinals’ instead of gender
Often gender neutral bathrooms are single occupancy, but not always.
didnt understood
That’s a Whaleshark
oh so it’s a metaphor for non-binary ppl
For most of human civilization we’ve had a problem with pooping in the streets and dying of diarrhea.
We have the technology, and seemed to have a bit of a handle on this for a while.
Now we’re paywalling and arguing our way back to diarrhea’s sweet embrace of death.
Those have to be some big doors.
"I’m going to the room marked spaghetti, meatballs has to be men… I don’t know what the hell calamari’s is…”
”Turns out spaghetti was men, I saw a noodle."
I onced thanked a restaurant owner because the only two descriptions they had “whatever, just dont forget to wash your hands”
clearly a shark though
English is a head final language!
EDIT: I am dumb. But the article is interesting, and it’s true of noun compounds at least.

Your linked article says it is mostly head-initial.
Oops. I always forget it’s more complicated than that. For noun compounds it’s head final…
Something’s fishy here. I presume due to reputation for aggressiveness that sharks are equivalent to men, leaving whales as a stand-in for women which could be considered insulting.
Or maybe it’s just a whale shark having an identity crisis 🤷🏻
Well, whaleshark doesn’t have a tail depicted on the door, so no need to overthink it
Maybe he has pictogram blindness? 🤷🏻
Paired with literacy it would be pretty overwhelming to decide here.
Though if pictogram blind and can’t read, the confusion is understandable, too
Yah, got that - but I was more concerned with the restroom labelling.
Pretty sure it’s poking fun at ridiculous restroom labelling. Sometimes the wallpaper is just that colour; not because of some deep seeded message
Just pee in the water, everyone does it in the ocean!
Idk if they’d like it if I started pissing in their water cooler.
