Gongs were common in my Brazilian neighborhood as late as the 1990s. Even my household had one during my early childhood, and I hear there are still some in the countryside. Even after public sewage was made widely available, some people resisted connecting their homes to the sewers in order to avoid waste removal bills, choosing to keep their gongs, to discharge waste directly on the local creek or even connecting their home waste to the rain drainage. Took a few years to convince them all to use the sewers..

it disappoints me that, when we are are the precipice of a worldwide shortage of the elixir of life- potable water- that the rich countries still sh*t in clean drinking water. toilets have not changed in basic concept since they were invented. but there are definately MUCH better ways to dispose of our waste- ways that don't pollute and deplete the environment and the fresh water supply. actually, our waste, if properly managed, can positively contribute to the planet. thing is, composting, vermaculture, leech fields, etc. have no massive profit potential, and involve a little actual work and time and responsibility from individual humans. probably for these reasons, it's actually illegal in most places, in the usa at least.

@@nonyabizness.original That's actually a weird fear that I have. That the water I'm drinking actually contains sh*t in it.

I've noticed that ancient Indian sanitation isn't mentioned here, especially the Harappan (aka the Indus Valley Civilization). We aren't close to being one of the cleanest countries in the world right now which sucks, but in the BC era, the Indian subcontinent ruled in terms of hygiene and sanitation.

Sitting AT the toilet? You sit AT a table to eat, you sit ON a toilet to use it.

@ꅏꍟꍏꌚꍟ꒒ In what way do you think that actually corrects me? Did you not actually read what I wrote? 🙄 You sit ON a chair AT a table to eat. You sit ON a toilet, not at it, to use it. People who don't understand grammar at all shouldn't try to correct Grammar Nazis.

@ꅏꍟꍏꌚꍟ꒒ And if you and they understood how to say it properly, then the joke would actually work. As is, the joke is that they sit at the toilet instead of on it, completely changing the meaning of the sentence. As is, you didn't correct or clarify literally anything. Again: don't try to correct people you literally labeled as knowing more than you.

@ꅏꍟꍏꌚꍟ꒒ Insisting that it doesn't matter on behalf of someone else is a complete waste of both our times. Obviously, I think it does matter. No matter how unintelligently you try to convince me otherwise, I won't be changing my mind.
