I pass by Tremont Street regularly. Next time I see #27 I’ll think of the invention of all ages! ;-)

Sit vs. Squat
While Americans and other Westerners have always sat on the toilet, people in Asia and Africa squat
when they go. In these cultures, people consider squatting to poop a more natural position than sitting.

The problem with sitting is that it keeps the kink in your lower bowel. That forces you to work harder
to push out the poop. Squatting relaxes your puborectalis muscle more and straightens out your colon,
giving the poop a straight route out. As a result, you can go more easily with less straining.
