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

Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!

I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it's that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.

This is insanity.

From my experience, the large button does the flush, but the size of the flush depends on how far you push it down. The small one simply pulls the large flush button down with it, but stops it from going more than half-way, resulting in a smaller flush.

Small flushes are more common, so it makes some sense to make that button larger.

I think your button had been rotated
