I'm actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?
One extra feature most of these have is small=3L, large=6L, large but hold the button down=9L.

I hope those volumes are discharge and not....err... discharge
NSFW would be if you haven't closed the toilet.
A lot of the comments are making the assumption that the buttons are telling the truth about being different sizes, but I've flushed plenty of toilets where both buttons do a full flush. If you can't tell the difference after experimenting, it might just be broken or cheap tat.
The way these flush mechanisms work is adjustable. It's entirely possible that someone adjusted them to have both have similar volumes for whatever reason
Actually, after using the toilet, only the big button works, the smaller one does nothing and both doesn't change anything.
Edit: Spelling
It's a smaller button inside a larger button (sort of), the smaller (right) button you push to flush your urine and the larger (left) you push to flush your excrement. I've used these many times but if I'm honest I've never actually been sure if they work.
The ones I've seen have symbols like "I / II" on the buttons, so you know which is which. Others here have explained the purpose. I guess in your picture, the #2 button is the bigger one.
Small one is for #1, bigger one for #2.
The right button is the right button.
Push both until the shit is ALL GONE. Don't be like my housemate :(
Hi!
It's a dual flush toilet! They give you an option to make the toilet do a full flush or a half flush. The smaller button operates the small flush, while the larger button operates the bigger flush! The smaller flush is better suited to use when you pee, since it requires less water to flush away.
The toilet I am currently sitting on has a very similar set up. The toilet came with the house, and I haven't been able to discern a difference in the 8 years I've lived here.
