Why do auto-flush public toilets even exist? (lemmy.world)

I'm sure they can't be there to 'save water', as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways...

One. Minute. Delay.

It's gonna take at least that long for me to wipe and get my pants back up anyways, I'm pretty sure that thing would have done flushed by the time I leave the stall.

Better yet, set the auto-flush to trigger when I open the stall door to leave, problem solved.

Nahb make it 20s and display a huge countdown on the stall door. If it's too fast for you, you can reset it, by pressing the seat down. 😆

I get that you're being silly LOL, but a seat pressure sensor ain't a half bad idea either.
