[video=youtube;0ZHm3vkavgM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZHm3vkavgM&feature=youtu.be[/video] Japanese toilets are like from the fucking future
Japanese toilets are the gold standard of what we currently have, but to be honest, the most flexible and universal one really is the compost toilet. Few years ago no one would have known about them but I've noticed they're getting more and more common due to how low maint and environmentally good they are, all it takes is for someone to empty the compost pit every month depending on use and thats not even a dirty job as you'll be digging from the bottom, hell some designs are even slanted towards an access hatch meaning you'll only be able to access the compost, the new shit doesn't even go near the hatch. If its an area that doesn't have piped water, honestly a composting toilet beats a pit and its weird how they were overlooked for the pit designs when they're about equal cost to implement.
Compost toilets and those which feed directly into those waste units which act as methane creators, are the best thing ever. Not only are you helping by getting rid of food scraps and other biodegradable stuff, you also get free fertilizer and such.

Japanese toilets are awful and traumatizing to use and I would much rather shit in a bucket and wipe with a single piece of newspaper than I'd ever use one again. Literally in the top-ten worst experiences of my life.

[QUOTE=a-cookie;53008592]did it kill your cat or something? whats so bad about jap toilets?[/QUOTE] Took like three times as long as just wiping, made horrifying 'WRRRRRR' noises all the time, squirted high-pressure ice-cold water right up my arse, then blew a cold blowdryer against it to add to the already freezing sensation. And after all that was done, my ass was still not fucking clean so I had to wipe anyway! [editline]27th December 2017[/editline] I felt thoroughly violated on several levels afterwards, and with less purpose than the doctors that grope your balls and ask you to cough for no good reason. [editline]27th December 2017[/editline] You see the Japanese toilets and go like "Yeah this is the future this is what shitting should be like!", but then you take a shit in one and feel the horrifying truth of misjudged distances, misaligned bumcheeks and miscalculated pressure; and end up with your pants around your ankles and your innocence long gone to a WRRRR'ing nozzle.

Having toilets that squirt water into your ass is [I]the[/I] reason to go to Japan. [editline]27th December 2017[/editline] I genuinely have a hard time using other toilets now. I had no qualms about using public restrooms in Japan, whereas in America, you’re just as likely to get some kind of rectal disease if you sit on one. [editline]27th December 2017[/editline] They had warm seats, played relaxing music and squirted water- what more could you want from life??

I had to squat just outside of the fucking seat to avoid activating it because of course the shower didn't have a bath lining.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;53009688]You probably prefer using a squat toilet, like some filthy Luddite[/QUOTE] If the choice stood between a squat and a Japanese smart-toilet, I'd clench my cheeks and deal with the constipation.
I can't believe I watched an hour long documentary about the shitter. The Roman part was especially interesting and highlighted how we regressed back to shitting in a field for a few hundred years.
