Yeah, "advanced". All while they've fall out of favour here, as most people would rather not have it flush while they're still sitting on it.


Presumably the toilet is advanced enough to know when it is use.

That is woefully obsolete. As usual, Nicksyllvania has a very entertaining (though pathetic) idea of what "civilized" means.

We have either outdoor facilities for the commoners while the nobility tend to use the most modern in flushing technology combined with the elegance of the ancient building method and decoration.

Toilets are mostly a human need. Mushrooms don't release that sort of waste and turtles have their own ways.

Yes, that's an outhouse.




In the rural areas, turtles can simply go outside and hide where no one can see and do their thing (like humans and trees). However, in a big city, this becomes impractical. That's why, about once or twice a block, there are little concrete boxes. Turtles back up into these and do their business, then crawl out when they're done, in excellent privvacy. The hole is open to the sewer below. Think of a storm drain, but raised, larger, and with a small hole instead of an opening. Now, place that at the back of a sidewalk where no one will trip.

OOC: I prefer toilet paper and a good hand-washing. It's far better than getting your behind wet from a squirter thing. When I go, I don't like toilet water to splash on me.

OOC: I know, right? I find it distrubing to let a jet of water splash my rear. t's just wrong. I mean, when you're going, you don't want your butt to get splashed when you drop a rowboat. Then, you let that squirter get you wet? Please, give me dry toilet paper and I'll clean myself. What kind of people are so lazy that they can't wipe their own boohonkuses? I guess the same who see broadband Internet access as a "fundamental right" (that's right, Finland, looking at you).

In your average Khoratan bathroom, you can find...

Sink
Bathtub
Shower
Bidets
Toilet
Blow-Dryers for the hands (I mean like at airports, pools, etc...)

Bidets are so the new Toilet Paper, in fact, almost every bathroom has a Bidet, and in the capital of Chandigarh, all the toilets have bidets. Though we have toilet paper at Tourist hotspots for those who just want to use the paper, though it is considered a faux pas in Khorata, especially in the Urban areas to use paper to wipe your... ...Yeah.

I fail to see how chopping up human wastes would get rid of it. I think it might just make it take up slightly less space, but the waste is still there, it didn't disappear, or change form.
