I cannot believe that I just bought a toilet named the "Diplomat".

Why‽ I can't decide if it is funny or horrifying.

Enshittification is just a ploy by big bowel movement to get us to buy more toilets.
Prove me wrong.

The organizer of the Osaka Expo is encouraging local governments and companies to reuse pavilion buildings and equipment including air conditioners and lighting, in line with its theme of sustainability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/16/japan/expo-reuse-pavilions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #2025osakaexpo #environment #localgovernment #airconditioners #toilets

Toilets in the Southern Hemisphere flush unexpectedly

Everybody knows that toilets in the Northern Hemisphere flush normally. This is due to the Don Corleone effect, which pushes the water the normal way. Now, in the Southern Hemisphere, the Don Corleone effect also exists but works in reverse. This fact makes the toilets there work in an unexpected fashion.

We asked Carlos Morales for a demonstration of the effect. He asked us to stand back, for safety. Then, he pulled the toilet’s handle down, sending a stream of water to the ceiling. We had witnessed, with our very own eyes, the Don Corleone effect in action.

Morales told us, “As you can imagine, this effect creates a steady stream (pun intended) of work for us janitors. Nobody likes to go into a bathroom whose ceiling is covered with a jet of feces, or just piss.”

We flew to the equator with Morales to hold another demonstration there. When he pulled the handle at the equator, nothing whatsoever happened. He explained, “That’s because, here, the Don Corleone effect cannot act. Consequently, all the toilets have to be manually emptied.”

Next time you flush your toilet, and it works normally, thank the Don Corleone effect for this, and thank us for having educated you.

Nearly one-fifth of the district court complexes in the country lack separate toilets for women, according to a report published by the Centre for Research and Planning of the Supreme Court recently.

Here's an entire article from the Guardian on how men piss at home and whether or not it's "natural" for them to stand or sit. It goes through health reasons -- apparently stand-pissing causes piss-mist to settle in toothbrushes and sitting is better for men's backs.. It goes through evolutionary reasons -- apparently scent-marking is unrelated to stand-pissing.

The whole thing is pros and cons of stand-pissing from the POV of various "experts" and also men talking about their personal prefs. They have physiologists arguing over which position is healthier for men, they have physicists measuring coefficients of splashiness, they have lawyers discussing men's legal right to stand-piss, and so on. They have been saying "I like it!!!" It's a triumph of journalistic both-sides neutrality.

And yet never once do they mention the most important issue, which is who cleans the fucking bathroom? Men who are physically able to clean their own toilets but don't and still insist on stand-pissing are making a complex and antisocial choice that's not even mentioned here, not discussed at all, not even to be superficially dismissed. They slso don't ask any women for their opinions about how men piss at home.

I sit-piss now mainly because I clean my own bathroom, but I would even if I didn't. Somebody has to clean it and why would anyone create unnecessary work for someone when it can be avoided with zero effort? my wife usually cleans the living room and I don't gratuitously mess that up just because I don't clean it. How psycho would that be? None of the pissers interviewed share the reasons for their choice of pissing-mode, but the work involved in cleaning must be a factor in many cases.

One effect of framing this as a question of competing expert opinions rather than of communal household organization organization is to erase labor from the discussion completely. This supports capital's empire by reinforcing the idea that labor is a fungible commodity rather than a gift of love, a communal contribution, anything but a tool of capital accumulation. Another effect is to reinforce the idea that experts know more about household labor than the people who run the fucking houses. Blech!
