People of Sweden, why do you build miniature urinals into your rain drainpipes?

Im assuming this is a joke, but just in case it isnt, those are actually downspout filters. So when leaves/etc get into the downspout, they dont clog the plumbing.

No joke. I never saw this so abundant in other countries or maybe I just never noticed. Thanks for the explanation.

I never really saw them until i moved to portland. I think it has something tondo with downspouts going straight into drains, as opposed to just dumping onto the ground.

To pee in? What do you use urinals for? Washing your potatoes?

Po-ta-to

Boil em, mash em, piss on em.

Something like that.

Never buy salt again with this simple trick.
