I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?

Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

IT IS FOR WATER CONSERVATION: The larger lever is to flush out around 6 to 9 liters of water, whereas the smaller lever is to flush out around 3 to 4.5 liters of water. Clearly, the larger one is to flush solid waste and the smaller one is to flush liquid waste.

I thought it was one for pee, two for poo.

Yes, in practicality, this is it.

The one at my gas station is labelled I and II.

That's very informative thank you! Might have to look into these myself for when/if I have the chance to buy a house in The future.

Get a bumgun/bidet hose, best thing ever for butt cleanliness and general ring health.

Gotta say if you're going far enough to do some additional plumbing, you might as well go the whole way and get a Japanese toilet.

No other toilet compares since

It's quite difficult to find them in the west though. Depending on where you live.

I still prefer the pipe, for flow and power alone.
