Scientific video reveals how much toilet water sprays into the air when you flush... and it's disgusting

Yep. And I realize I’m getting off topic here, but the fact we, at great cost, treat water so that it’s clean enough to drink, just to poop in it, is perpetually crazy to me.

This is possibly the shittiest post I’ve read in years.

Further desecration of the water is needed, check. Maybe just an affirmation that old drugs and stuff are still in there untreated.

I suggest a waterless waste disposal system in which the waste is sealed in a fire-proof chamber, and then blasted with a powerful jet of flame, until it is reduced to cinders. And then the ashes could poof festively into the air, for old times sake.

Okay, sure, dramatic video and I get why it makes people uncomfortable.

Please keep in mind however that this says nothing about clinical outcomes. Unless people are actually getting sick from this, then this amounts to nothing more than germophobia (which is not a mentally healthy state to live in).

Nobody has ever gotten sick from a toilet seat and fecal coliform are already everywhere in human environments. If you were going to get sick from it, you already would be.

Wash your hands and stop worrying about this.

if we’d just return to dumping our bedpans out the window, as in days of yore–problem solved!

When I first saw this, I thought you said you just pooped in.

BTW, one thing when I used to work in an office that used to always gross me out was when someone would bring their cup of coffee or whatever and set it down in the bathroom.

That is not as bad as I have been envisioning my whole life. But I’m still keeping my toothbrush in a covered holder - even though it’s a good 12 feet from my toilet.

Why, nothing’s going to get through your butt cheek skin. Toilet seat cover are just a waste of paper.

Paper cover? No need for that!

I would also point out that “modern” low flow toilets are much more splashy than the old school vortex flush style that sucked down 3 to 5 gallons at a time. My parents had the original 1965 baby blue American Standard in the main bathroom up until 5 or 6 years ago. I was amazed at the time it took to flush, but also at the beauty of the vortex and spin it put on everything. I think half the water did nothing but create a nice swirl even before the bowl started to empty. I can certainly see why the number of clogs we had were so few growing up.

I am also equally amazed at the frequency that our work toilets get clogged. They are the industrial direct connected high pressure flush style and yet someone jams one up at least once a day. It’s too bad we don’t have a cafeteria, might could add some more fiber to their diets.

Has anyone done a study on bidets?

I doubt it. Seems like a terrible place to study much of anything.

From time to time, I see toilets that don’t even have a lid. Ought to be a legal requirement, if you ask me.
