		dguest 8 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Splash-free urinals (2025) Ig nobel prizes were just a few days ago: https://improbable.com/ig/winners/#ig2026 Edit: The splash free urinal was the winner for physics! I once joked that these do more for science than Nobel prizes. Now I don't think it's a joke: "wacky but interesting" awards are more important for the advancement of science than "everyone agrees this these people should be even more famous" awards.

I wonder whether a “Ig Nobel Price Winner” sticker would provide marketing benefits for an urinal.
