I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

ITT: A lot of Lemmy users showing their true colors. Someone asks for help, for information, and y'all decide to mock.
OP: one button does a full flush, the other does a half flush. In your picture, the button on the right, does the half flush. Button on the left, does the full flush. Full flush is usually just x2, though I don't think that's a hard rule.
Looks like this one breaks the rules. Only the big button works.
Actually the little button sends an SOS to local authorities, so chances are the little button works fine and you have an incoming SWAT raid with paramedics and police surrounding the building.
These swat raids are getting out of hand!
I explained it to my kids like this:
1 button for #1.
2 buttons for #2.
TIL, I always pushed both
The point of these things is to save water on a smaller flush when you only pee.
This is boringly not always true, for a while some genius, probably Elon Flush, decided to invert the functions so that when you pushed the bigger button you got the small flush.
Nothing like developing trust issues after taking a massive shit I suppose.
ITC: username checking out. It was a really dumb question
A question is a question... Just answer the damn question without judging it.
Better let someone know what the thing does instead of forcing them to experiment with it and (possibly) break it.
It was a very low stakes experiment. I wasn't going to say anything until the high and mighty came to shame those razzing them about it
Ultimately I think my question, being smart or dumb is irrelevant, it brought activity to the community and that's a great thing I think. The bad thing was the memes. The 'how do I flush this' posts kinda got wild.
