I watched ...
... this fishy funeral. Tragic I know, but all I could think was do ALL American toilets have that much water in them? The water level is so high in the bowl! You could actually get a wet bum if you sat down too fast.

The water in American toilets freaked me out the first time I saw it. And the toilets were really low. Wet bum, indeed!
That's so odd?
By low you mean like Kindy loos?
I've noticed that toilets come in many different shapes and sizes. The tanks vary; the bowls vary; the heights of the seats and the seats themselves vary and the level of water in the bowls varies.
Too many brands and ideas perhaps?
Lee, shape and size, indeedy there are many different loos, but the water level in Australian ones is pretty constant. Probably something to do with our water restrictions.
My California potty is described as "chair height," meaning it's not too low to the ground. And it uses 1.6 gallons (6 liters) per flush; mandated by local law. Is that so profligate? I could poo in the woods.
Cookie, I think California has similar water usage rules to ours.
It's not the height of the loo, it's the height of the water in the loo. Australian loos have a very low water level, just enough to cap off the pipes.
As for pooing in the woods, I once had to deal with a man who assured me that although he did poo behind trees, he knew the difference between behind and in front and ALWAYS went behind! Mad as a cut snake obvy!
