Just thinking about drinking fountains made me realize something why do we need 'em? All they do is take up space and collect dust. While, toilets and sinks on the other hand are used daily in privacy and in public. These drinking fountains are simply wasting money, precious money on worthless crap we don't even need. Why if we keep producing these obsolete garbage cans analysts say the U.S. economy alone could go bankrupt by the year 2150 and that's just the U.S. just imagine what these parasites could do to the rest of the world. But never fear, I have a solution. What if instead of wasting money producing drinking fountains, toilets and sinks. We just combine all in one. Wait, Japan has already done that with their super toilets which can clean your bum with water and soap without needing to use toilet paper which reduces the amount of trees that get cut down a year due to the toilet paper industry. This allows for a more eco-friendly, natural, cleaner environment. These super toilets can also disperse water and act as a sink/drinking fountain. The only problem is that the U.S. doesn't have these yet. This is a problem, we need these super toilets now than any other country in the world since we use the most toilet paper around the world. Any ideas on how we can get these toilets shipped into America and installed as the new way for bathroom/drinking and replace these old bucket o' bolts?

EDIT: I got the idea from this article. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source= ... bOTyEHyk4g

I’m just going to ignore most of this, but drinking fountains aren’t going to cause world economic collapse.

It will if we continue to mass produce them despite the fact that they are in fact obsolete and need to be replaced with something better like Japan's super toilets.

1. They serve a different purpose.
2. They’re really not obsolete.
3. There’s things that’ll cause global economic collapse far faster than drinking fountains.

Japan tecrunorogi is da bestes tecrunorogi in the world, but we japanisu don't stick our honor through our blades

Oh look. A toilet thread. It's been days since I last read one in NSG.

If there is a huge demand, then maybe it might become the usual in the US. Japanese super toilets, that is.

That may be, but that still doesn't change the fact that they are useless when compared to the super toilets I just mentioned.

…That’s also untrue, because drinking fountains have a purpose that Japanese toilets can’t fulfill.

Any statistical data on this?

No, just rhetoric.

...I use drinking fountains all the time? I probably would've died in college without them.

But super toilets can easily replace them because they have an option that shoots a fountain of water out of the toilet just drink that.

What can drinking fountains do that Japan's super toilets can't do?

Necroghastia wrote:...I use drinking fountains all the time? I probably would've died in college without them.

Same. Bonus that the water is cold, too.

OP, if the water fountain gathers dust (I presume it's not working), shouldn't we ask for the maintenance personnels' help?
I simply refuse to drink water from the same unit that serves as the toilet bowl.

I am 99.9999% certain that is super unhygienic and really far removed from the intended purpose.

It's 100% purified, clean, healthy water ready to drink. Plus, that's why it's a sink combined with a toilet so the water is always fresh/cold.

Public access, poverty, school usage…Also, I’m not sure about contamination, but…

Wait... did you just say... drink water from a Japanese toilet?




I rather drink my own piss

Trust me it's not as bad as it seems and the toilet filters out any bacteria or contaminants so it's essentially clean.

You’ll excuse me if I want a citation.

In this case, filler effectiveness.

Good idea, will consider that. So, you agree with my original post?
