How to minimize urinal splash back?

So how would one go about minimizing the splash back from a urinal? Aiming at the back wall seems to make the most sense, but it doesn't always work. What also gets me is that partially submerged rubber sheet. I'd aim for the wall, fluid would run down the porcelain, hit the edge of that rubber urinal screen, and splash back onto my pants. Am I supposed to aim for that sheet even though it's submerged? Sorry for the strange question, but I've been wondering about this for a long time. I'm not a weirdo. I swear.
I found this link but it didn't seem to help much.

Your link also suggests that aiming at the wall is the right idea.
And then it's game over. Maybe I could stand farther away?
splashback won't have the range to reach you
This man has the right idea.
but they're listening to every word I say
This. If you shoot a firehose at a wall 2 feet away, you will get wet. Either go more often or let it just trickle out.
This, I have no problems with splashing and I get bored while peeing sometimes so I get creative with my spray. So uhm, godspeed.

My name is Cyvros Ayrd XLII, and I approve this initiative.
I lold really hard.
I too have been to scared to make this thread.
I haven't used a urinal since I was like 10.
No deal
Fucks up the bubbles when you go back home, man
It the Tai Chi Pee Principle.
This works. In my experience, there's less splashback and less sound. It also works with toilet bowls.
The instruction manuals were wrongly distributed at birth. I got three copies of the light switches booklet.
Stalls are the answer.
Bathroom story - co-worker came back one day from the bathroom and said while he was at the urianal, guy next to to him leaned over and looked down, like he was reading an interesting article. Co-worker was not interested, not even a little, so he yelled, "Nothing here belongs to you!"
Maybe he was just trying to improve his technique.
I go for the small gap between plastic and porcelin, so the plastic works as a splash guard instead of a urine sheild. Meh. Results inconclusive. I going to go have five beer now, and work on my Tai Pee.
seriously dont jam your junk up into the urinal. Stand like 8-12 inches back and then just lean forward at the end.
Start shimmying back as far as pee power will allow. Arc pee to compensate for distance.
Start shimmying forward when to compensate for power loss.
Finish up close.
Only do this when you’re alone... it's kind of weird if someone comes into the public bathroom and you're 8 feet back pissing across the room with one beautiful giant arc.

OR KIND OF AWESOME!
god...elementary school memories.
A contest of who can get farthest from the urinal and still make it in.
Was interrupted by the teacher calling all of us out and interrogating us with questions like:
"why are all of you in the bathroom at once and why were you chanting 'go! go! go!'?"
No one really wanted to say it.
Anyways, yeah, flow control and angle it in from the side is how to do it.
