  • The implication of that line to my question and that you specified the US in the title of this post indicates that you believe that the US is different.

    No, it doesn’t.

    And if you read through this thread you’d see, in comments I posted hours ago, why I specified the US.

  • Not particularly. If you hold the opposing opinion I’d be interested to hear it and the reasoning if you want to share.

    If you don’t think it’s unpopular then the sidebar tells you what to do ⬇️.

  • I don’t think America is full of irredeemable idiots.

    I think there’s a lot of Americans have felt unheard, unrepresented, or otherwise disenfranchised for so long they were left vulnerable to someone like Trump who came in an capitalized on it and manipulated them.

    The state of the country today makes me feel sad for Americans more than anything else.

  • belies your own sense of superiority

    That’s an interesting conclusion to draw since I am, on occasion, one of those emotionally reactive morons.

    I also don’t consume much mass media or news. I prefer fiction to non.

  • I’m sorry strawman, I missed the part of my comment where I said anything about abused people or taking “a break from the abuse to examine the effects of abuse on them”.

    I believe what I was speaking to was self determination.

    Self-determination is the right to make choices, take control of one's life

  • Fluid dynamics.

    As the urine travels down your urethra it is under almost equal pressure from all sides. As the liquid escapes it loses contact with the vessel.

    Through a process called adhesion the water in your product will experience a drag effect as the contact with the waste channel is extinguished. This drag is greatest in areas that contain the most perturbation.

    The shape of the orifice that produces the stream produces the vast majority of the perturbative influence.

    In this case the opening is a slit which produces semi-toroidal flows in the medium at the polar vertices.

    Combine these forces (The sudden loss of pressure, the semi-toroidal flows, and adhesion) and the net effect is a torsion force on the stream.

    The torsion force impels the fluid to twist and cohesion (water molecules are kind of like tiny magnets and really want to stick together) keeps the stream together.

    There you have it. Why your urine spirals instead of just flowing out like a garden hose.

    The spongy urethra runs along the length of the penis on its ventral (underneath) surface.... This produces a spiral stream of urine and has the effect of cleaning the external urethral meatus. The lack of an equivalent mechanism in the female urethra partly explains why urinary tract infections occur so much more frequently in females.
