Once you see a urinal trough, all ethics go out the door.

…I’ve heard of the troughs but never about ice?! What is the reasoning for that???

It's provides fresh water. As it melts. Kind of like leaving the sink dripping. You can't flush a trough so the smell would be a lot. Helps cut it down.

You forgot the most important part: it’s a TARGET

There is a sports bar near me that used to have (may still; haven't been in a while) a little field goal with a football strung between the uprights in the urinal. Absolutely delightful.

Also a lot of places with troughs don't necessarily have A/C in the bathroom. There's some ambient benefit

Also the cold helps with odor. Cold watered down urine will smell less than pure urine.

I have seen plenty of flushing troughs, usually automatic(sensor + timer) but some really old ones had a chain.

Of course you can flush a trough, i see more of those compared to those who cant.

I dont think i have seen a non-flushing trough in over 10 years.

It's possible the ones where I lived were old enough to not have a water supply I guess. Mostly old sports complex areas. Also I haven't used one since I was a kid, late 90's time frame.

It’s common at sporting events. It cools the urine down during the first half and then during the second half of the game they begin bottling it to sell as cheap beer since everyone is too drunk to notice.

Urinals are disgusting. The pipe for them on a demo after years of use will be 2" OD and a pencil width inside. Meaning the entirety of the inside is coated in piss scale. There's three things in the plumbing trade you don't want to be involved in; grease interceptor changes, sewage ejector changes and urinal demos. Fuck all of that noise, I want a bio suit and a REAL respirator, with a full face mask for the eyes too. None of that N95 and some safety glasses. Fuck that.
