Review and vote with your wallet and your feet

This strategy is so successful, it brought down Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Philip Morris, Frito-Lay, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Monsanto, and Boeing.

Is it possible that people just think differently than you? Or is everyone else wrong?

That’s not remotely true. There are plenty of health conditions that affect this. Alcohol consumption can affect it. Completely normal diets with specific foods can affect how stinky your poop is. Non standard but healthy diets also can do the same. There’s a lot more to it.

You might at least consider it. When I cut most of the processed foods from my diet, that particular bodily function became much less odorous.

While yes to a certain extent cutting some processed food and adjusting your diet may help with it, eating a few boiled eggs would set you back massively. It’s not that straightforward.

How are doors important for hygiene?

In my part of the US, a lot of our "old" houses were built before indoor plumbing. So when the plumbing was installed, obviously some went to the kitchen. And the bathroom, which previously didn't exist, was often an addition to (or a division from) the kitchen -- with a doorway [with a door] betwixt the kitchen and the bathroom -- because that made the plumbing easier. IIRC, that particular feature disqualifies the…

That wouldn't apply to hotel rooms, though, as most do not have kitchens in the guest rooms.

>’m done. I’m done arriving at hotels and discovering that they have removed the bathroom door. Something that should be as standard as having a bed, has been sacrificed in the name of “aesthetic”.

In what country or region are we here? I've never seen a bathroom without a door in a hotel.

Or anywhere, really, for that matter.

Impossible to sex near that painting as the speaker will begin talking at you half way through!

"To sex" is to determine sex (gender.)

We're buying mice and we want 2 or 3 females. So yesterday I was searching "how to check mouse gender". Imagine my confusion when search engine recommended me a bunch of "how to sex mice" youtube videos!

Considering this and your other comments I really think you need to think a bit deeper about your answers. I believe in you, just ask "and then what happens" and I'm positive you'll figure it out.

I've both opened windows and ran aircons. (Though I try to avoid doing both at the same time.) Nothing bad happened.

Keep at it, you're almost there. You just forgot about one important variable: time

Or perhaps the individual's dollar is not really that effective. It's like plastic recycling -- it is a way to make the consumer feel like it is their job to fix things that they really have no responsibility for or control over.

> Same goes for clothes, toilet sounds, etc. What do you mean "same goes"? Are you saying there are cultures in which being loud on the toilet is considered proper?

In China making noise with mouth when eating is considered respectful.

No it isn't. You can slurp noodles without being rude but they do not consider 'loud mouth noises' respectful.

Yes, not one. I just googled for pictures of hotel bathrooms without doors out of curiosity and mostly see sliding and frosted glass doors. Is that what people are talking about?

I remember hotel in China several years ago where the bathroom had a door, but the wall between bathroom and sleeping area was unfrosted glass with no blind. Idiotic design trend.

> where the bathroom had a door, but the wall between bathroom and sleeping area was unfrosted glass with no blind.

Just like in Windows, where the window has a border, but it is 1 px wide.

Maybe some UX designers found work in other areas.
