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

Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

Bigger button is for solid waste, smaller button uses less water for liquid waste.

Is that common?

Nowadays I just don't know anynore. I find toilets where it's swapped.

I also want to say that I grew up with toilets where the bigger button is the one for your more common usecase - liquid waste. Oftern the smaller button is set up to push the bigger button as well - to clean solid waste.

If using a new toilet, I always try out the bigger button first, since it's easier to press and typically uses less water.

If you only need the little button for your shits you need more fibre in your diet.
