GTP Alternative Cool Wall: 1596-present Modern Toilet

[Turbo]

1596-present Modern Toilet nominated by @Lizard

Information: Allows you to deposit your needs without showering whoever is on the street.Invention credit is disputed from all the sources I found. Most say not Thomas Crapper though. Japan went that step further and added hundreds of buttons for your toilet.

It's where you drop the kids off at the pool.

Meh.

 

[Northstar]

Sub Zero. Having had to do business in some truly horrible porta johns over the last year and a half has given me a new appreciation for this invention.

 

[Obelisk]

Who gives a crap?

/pun

uncool because people don't flush.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

One of those things we take for granted.

That, and at least it's not the golden toilet that was on the original.

 

[TB]

The not dieing of dysentery factor alone earns this one a Cool.

If you've ever had to go at a hole in the floor, like in some hovels.. errh... hotels in the Middle East, or squatting over that ceramic floor receptacle the Chinese laughingly call a "toilet" in the cold of winter, or even off the edge of a balcony into the sea below (don't ask, seriously), you'd understand that the Western-style toilet is one of the greatest inventions of all time.

Also, finding a free copy of Playboy or Penthouse in an airport stall is a big plus in favor of the sit-down toilet.

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

Holy ****

no but seriously, SZ because I don't know what I'd do without a throne

 

[W3H5]

Meh because squat toilets are better in my opinion.

On a squat loo (Asian style) there's no direct contact with the toilet and squatting is the natural position in which the do your business, not sitting. Squat toilets often don't have water in the bowl which means no splash back, a common occurrence on a sitting toilet.

Nobody's going to touch niky's comment? No? Me neither.

Should've been a Sub Zero, but smartphone's risen the bar so frigging high.... It still gets a very 'cool'.

 

[polysmut]

It's brilliant, but that doesn't make it cool.

Is this a story he is going to share or will we we all die of dysentry if we hear it?

 

[Northstar]

Well, I'll just say it totally doesn't come across like he's admitting to traveling the world's worst bathrooms in search of used porno mags.

I totally agree...

...until the magazine bit.

I ain't touching that

 

[Legro]

Be honest, have you ever heard anyone call a toilet 'cool'.

I'm sure it's a brilliant thing but come on.

 

[Pete05]

I'm sure it's a brilliant thing but come on.

When the only thing you're looking for is a small room & seat with a hole in the middle, it's the coolest damn thing your eyes will ever see

 

[epic_apri_39]

I mean

SZ

 

[Lizard]

Yes. I have seen many people call those computerised things in Japan cool.

Just don't press the douche button. I hear it is very painful for males.

The writing is superb.

I mean, where else would you get such fine literature in the pre-internet days?

The stall wall.

 

[a6m5]

That'll teach me. That's what I get for visiting this thread while eating. 👍

The toilet is the only thing I know that is super ancient technology and from which we continue to be plagued with stupid problems. Problems like a leaking flapper, or a stuck float, or a clog, or a fill valve that won't turn on, or won't turn off, or you have to hold the handle down an extra second to get it to actually flush.

There's either too much water in the bowl or too little. They're not the right depth to prevent splashback. They make too much noise. There are too many moving pieces to clean. People are mindlessly lazy and leave the seat up - so crap besides crap falls in.

I hate toilets.

The only thing I hate more than toilets is urinals.

Super Uncool

 

[Lizard]

The su alternative of being showered in urine and faeces in the street is what makes the toilet cool.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Considering a disability has left me unable to squat to take a dump without falling over, I've come to appreciate the option of sitting down to do my business.

Cool.

 

[Skython]

If I vote above meh, I'm saying I love toilets. And I'm not sure that's going to go down well with the ladies. And anything under meh means people will assume I don't use them, or hate using them. So I'll remain where I was before, using toilets and without ladies.

 

[AOS-]

It's actually easier to poo while squatting.

Nudge nudge to people who don't have regular fiber intake.

 

[SPhilli911]

Not really related but sorta is. The other day my brother and I were talking about the importance of water. It's the single most important thing for life! You can't live without it. Some people don't have it and desperately need it. It makes up a lot of the planet and human bodies. It can be a gas, a liquid and a solid. And we poop in it.

The toilet is kinda cool, I suppose.

 

[Robin]

I do love me a toilet, but only when it's my own. The concept of a 'public' toilet is the foulest idea ever and pretty much the cause of half the world's communicable diseases.

 

[TB]

The concept of a 'public' toilet is the foulest idea ever

I was going to say it's still better than ancient Rome but I've been in some bathrooms (I'm looking at you, Wright, MN ) that make me rethink that.

 

[Adamgp]

Hasn't a car's steering wheel been proven to be more disgusting than the average public toilet?

Also, as someone with balance issues, I'm happy to have something solid to sit on rather than squatting over a hole in the ground.
