The reason public toilets have the gap in the front of the seat (there are other reasons out there too)
circular-shaped objects have rigidity based on their form. This means they resist deformation when force is applied (your *** sitting on toilet seat). This can be a good thing: Toilet seat feels structurally sound when sitting on it.
The problem is that the rigidity is not infinite. There is a snap point, and since the form is not able to bend, when the snap point is hit, it usually fails VERY BADLY. In our case, this often means replacing the toilet seat ($$$).
By taking a very small wedge out of an otherwise full circle, it changes the whole dynamic of the form. All of a sudden we have a U shape instead of an O. Now, both "legs" of the U are able to (mostly) independently move. This raises the "snap point" as the materials are now able to bend effectively and more thoroughly distribute load.
At the end of the day, the shape choice of a toilet seat is about it's reliability. In normal usage, U shaped seats are MUCH less likely to break over the long term than O shaped seats.
And at the end of the week, reliability is really about money. How long will thing X last given normal use conditions? When will I have to replace it? What are the costs associated with wear and tear? This makes sense in the context of businesses/governments (who usually own the public toilets in question here).
The reason that they are different at home is because at home you also (usually) have aesthetic requirements that automatically trump any cost related requirements. This is due to a combination of (a) people liking to surround themselves with things that are pretty, and (b) home toilet seats get very light use compared to public toilet seats and therefore are (by default) much less likely to fail at any given point in time.
View media item 661565The steak one is legit at least.So all this is recent... then it's Complete BS until I see Footage.
which is crazy, I can't eem eat a box of mike&ikes in 2 minutes.
Usain bolt ate 100 chicken mcnuggets a day for 10 days before winning gold at the Beijing Olympics

Never mind that he would prolly **** [emoji]128169[/emoji] on himself during the race....[emoji]128513[/emoji]Usain bolt ate 100 chicken mcnuggets a day for 10 days before winning gold at the Beijing Olympics
I know he said this, but I find it VERY hard to believe. If that was the case, he would be eating 300g of fat(mostly saturated) and almost 5,000 calories every day, if that was the only food he consumed. That's almost the same fat content of 2 whole jars of skippy peanut butter! He said he did this because "chinese food is weird." I just don't buy that at the highest level of competition in the world, at an event that happens every 4 years, you would risk being so nutritionally idiotic during the event. When every millisecond matters.
Obviously that level of athlete requires extreme amounts of calories to meet their energy needs but there are far more efficient ways to get go about this than cramming your face with mcnuggets. And your team of nutritionists and Olympic coaches would for sure have a say in what they saw you eating. I'm not buying it.
Air Bubbachuck?!?

I don't believe it either. I can see if he was training and burning a bunch of calories. But this was during competition, I doubt he was having full scale workouts. I'd bet that he got a nice little check from McDonalds

No check, all the athletes get free McDonald's during the Olympics.
