    Toilets typically take the water from the reservoir/tank from there, and the waste goes straight down, unless this is a sideways variant I’m not familiar with.

    Edit: the connection is still whack either way.

      It’s a toilet with a rear outlet, not uncommon at all I think. When installed on an upper floor, they are less intrusive on the living space below it.

      I’d say the water for the tank is coming from the hose into the tank in this case.

          Funnily enough, I think that is an up flush toilet with the macerator part removed and 90 put on instead.

          Likely made it a urinal.

            Redneck-engineered urinal is the only thing that makes any sense, right? The shape molded into the porcelain makes me think it’s not a “normal” siphoning rear-discharge tall toilet (though it could be… I’m not a plumber). Still, if you have a slow trickle coming into the tank through that jury-rigged connector where the flush lever should be, and no flapper or working fill valve, then yeah, it could work as a urinal. Wasteful though, and absolutely inviting disaster if a guest needs to poop.
