Below these three icons you see some braille.

⠗⠑⠌⠗⠕⠕⠍⠎

...It says "restrooms" in English. In fact it even uses ⠌ as an abbreviation of "st", something only done in English and Irish braille.

You then place your fingertip on the braille. It isn't actually raised.

You then realize that it isn't even plural restrooms in the first place, it's single-user.

i think it’s when you check the cardboard prototype scale model for evrart’s community center

The bathrooms where I work are like this, all single occupancy but gendered anyways. The funny part is the company is like 90% male so a lot of the guys end up using women’s bathroom sometimes because the men’s one is often occupied. Doesn’t stop them from raising a stink whenever they hear a story on the news about someone else using the “wrong” bathroom.

Oh, no, the restroom at the fast food place wasn't gendered, all three icons were on the same door. However I did recently spend a lot of time at this shitty welfare contractor where indeed they had gendered single-occupant restrooms, so I absolutely know what that's like.

That’s one way to be inclusive I guess (except to blind people 🫥)

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Which certainly makes the accessibility icon a bit ironic...

Some at school are like this, but there are only women's and neutral bathrooms. I think it's because those bathrooms have tampons or something, else it's just a ploy for women to cut in line.

Incidentally, the area with the three different holes for different kinds of trash, the holes were marked "liquids / papp / rest"

I have literally zero clue why they decided to mark the hole for the liquids in English, the hole for cardboard in Norwegian, and then the hole for food scraps I guess in both.

Just in general every time I go to a fast food place my mental MP3 player starts playing "Once in a Lifetime" because of the absolutely bizarre state of which things are written in English and which things are written in Norwegian.

Putting 500 signs on every bathroom door with every possible combination of tops, bottoms, hats, shoes, etc.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Every time someone complains we add ten more signs.

Will there be raised braille, too?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People wearing skirts, kilts, dresses, robes have to use one bathroom. People wearing pants, hakama, gauchos have to use the other.

Wear nothing at all and go where you like monke-return
