I declare the discovery of a new, clean, nice smelling and not broken petrol station toilet that is only just off my route a victory. That said, we need more #publictoilets and roadside amenities #toilets plus #Googlemaps or other navigation software needs to have a toilet option! Looking for the nearest petrol station, hotel or restaurant doesn't guarantee they have or will allow you access to their toilets.

I would tell them to bog off #TOILETS #WorldPlumbingDay

Since #Germany demands "#binary gender-segregated santiary units" (i.e. #toilets and #ChangingRooms) as per building code, I'd suggest to give a big middle finger to regulators, and basically design both bathrooms identical in capacity and amendities and put "#Squirrel" and "#Wombat" on the door instead of "Ladies" & "Gents" respectably and refuse to elaborate further.

#Japan and #Taiwan share so much culturally and socially, but would like to specifically see more sharing of this

Taiwan needs to embrace Japanese #toilets and rules against hotel rooms without windows.

Japan needs to embrace having cheap delicious #vegetarian food everywhere.

12 #waterless #toilets have been built in the natural #park Franconian Switzerland in #Bavaria, #Germany, in the last two years.

By the way, they are part of a project from the #Bavarian #Ministry for #Environment to test different #solutions for modern non-sewered #sanitation. You can find two ABEREUS toilets in the #project.

Dear Friends,
Five gallon flush #toilets? Again? 1.6 GPF since 1992 (Bush I). EPA WaterSense certification for toilets since 2006 along with EPA site, while it lasts, at www.epa.gov/watersense

He fixates on this for diversion. Don't be diverted. Your toilet maker isn't going back. Neither am I. Nor am I paying $.22 KW/H for tungsten filament bulbs. Just silly.

Best: having gender neutral restroom
Next best: having disability restroom, implicitly gender neutral (exists separately from gender hostile ones)
Plain bad: neither of them exists
Wtf: Oh we have disability restroom but require key from personell, because lol
What the actual f: Oh we showed disability restroom icon but we actually don't have it
Plain f: disability restrooms somehow inside the gender hostile separated rooms

OK, Mastodon/Fediverse plumbing and toilet enthusiasts

I have a toilet that requires holding the handle open to fully flush, i.e. the flapper is closing too quickly before the tank empties

Do I need to replace the flapper or is there a way to adjust how quickly it closes?

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.

Have building codes else where been amended to increase the number of cubicles in women's bathrooms?

Two of the biggest problems with #Indian #tourism are the lack of attention paid to #accessibility especially for the elderly and lack of clean #toilets (public).
