No thank you...

England is doing this with extra steps. We just dump our raw sewage in the sea. Yay for privatised water companies.

Nothing says "I'm British" more than getting sepsis due to falling from a narrowboat into a canal that could possibly have Excalibur or dangerous feces.
in the sea
really? I thought they took the nearest stream /s
- Both is correct, depending on the timeframe you're looking at.

Most toilets on ferries around Venice still work like this. Venice has a great waste removal system, at low tide, pee just runs into the water but poop gets stuck to sewers, then at high tide the tide takes away the poop.

Then tourists romantically run their hands into the canal water from a gondola ride....while RFK Jr. swims past doing laps.

How bad does it smell at low tide?

If the floor were solid maybe…

But can you imagine trying to take a shit during bad storm or even a hurricane?!? That shit would be intense. Might be something like a nuclear Poseidon’s Kiss. Or maybe a kaiju sized bidet.

If the floor were solid maybe…
you want to turn the toilet into a shit cannon?
- I have a problem with heights so the see through floor would not be something I’d enjoy. Although I’m curious about the “shit cannon”.
Tried to poop, got a 35,000 gallon ocean enema instead.
I think a solid floor would ruin it. This looks fucking awesome

I think the major concern would be whatever is in front of the main "bowl". Is that just accumulated shit from people with really bad aim? Or, is that accumulated rust from people with bad aim and a lack of regular maintenance?

the latter. with the floor being a grate, I reckon people just freepiss in there like it’s some sort of sink. or weather and salt..
one bad weld and some rust and you’re falling, with half a turd hanging out, into the deep blue.
- Less an OSHA violation and more an OSHIT violation.
- freepiss in there like it’s some sort of sink
  …note to self: do not wash hands at @flandish@lemmy.world ’s house
- freepiss
  lol
- id really want to free piss in there.
  there's something very primordial in me that wants to free piss in there
I think that's whatever material was used to connect to toilet to the grate. Maybe caulk, or maybe something else.

moat won't fill itself up.
You can even see the wall's discoloration from decades of shit.
- At least four decades.

"No thank you"??? Tf do you mean, what do you think fuckoff big blue whales do?

Pissing down into a body of water is one of life's subtle joys, and you poo-poo the prospect of pooping into one?

Pissing down into a body of water is one of life’s subtle joys,
at that height you're never going to get satisfying laminar flow. it's gonna just turn into mist.
- But no chance of the Candiru swimming up the urethra.
Pissing down into a body of water is one of life’s subtle joys
but then my neighbor yells at me to get out of his pool.
I'd be fine standing and pissing into it, but I think I'd get a little uncomfortable sitting down.

My fear would be the floor breaking out underneath you.

Imagine if it had a rattle.

I would honestly be shocked it if didn't have a rattle
Ahhhh I'm imagining it!

Don't know if things have changed, but that's what toilets on trains looked like when I was in high-school. You could see the ground rushing under you.

Were toilets on Zeppelins that way too
Where I'm at, those have changed quite a lot. But I remember the floor shitters as well.

If the fish and the birds can doo it, you can too! Fly, my pretties!

You see, that is the beauty of shitting from such a place...
....you have a not-zero chance of shitting on a bird.
That deck is probably 60, maybe 100 feet above the water. Serious air time.

Going in the bathroom with my phone in hand: wish me luck!

id so put a bookshelf in there, also a permanent marker tied to the wall for people to log whenever they drop their phone

Street Photography

Where street?

Beware of diarrhea and a windy day combo.

I would worry more about just pissin.

Imagine dropping your phone

Yeah that is not a phone safe bathroom. Look at the size of those grates
- You know its happened a lot if this toilet is common.

What's with the title? I'm adding pooping here to my bucket list. I bet the sea breeze feels really nice (edit: and the plop sound would be satisfying).

clearly none of these commenters have heard of the butthole barracuda

that was my nickname in high school

Breezy

This would fix me

add a new lid and I would love to shit there.
Imagine taking a massive load and you look down to watch it fall and it makes a mega splash
or imagine trying to hit like a fish or bird or something for no reason

I would love to take a dump with the salty sea air caressing my butthole, with the occaisonal tall wave as a bidet

Dang! Dropped my phone.

If you go and get it, please pick up my keys too
Maybe a seagull will return it.

This looks like a south east asian or middle eastern style seat with support areas for your boots, so that you can lift up the seat and climb up on it to squat. A hybrid toilet that supports both ME/SEA-style squat-usage and seated western usage (with seat down).

Brave leaning the phone over it to take a photo.

Imagine falling through

Do your balls hang low?

Do sharks eat those?

Do they blow to and fro?

Like the Antarctic snow?

Do you tuck them up?

Beside your butt?

Do your balls hang low?

When I imagined a toilet with a view I never imagined the wiew being between my legs.

Hope you've got your tetanus shot

The plastic seat's up. You're not gonna be sitting on the metal.
- Gotta wonder why the seat can even be put up, just cut a hole in the wall for a urinal and leave the seat for number 2

Imagine some poor shark swimming and gets shit on

Are those fish swarming around the “landing zone”?

More likely to be sharks, from that height. They tend to congregate around the rig because smaller fish do, and since they're much bigger... the camera can see them easier, eh?

Seems fine to me as long as you don't have to use it in winter

Bet you won't be reading that shampoo bottle.

Well the cleaners haven't been there for quite a while, other than that, I see no issues.

Well the lid is up and it is quite rusty. Probably doesn't live up to my hygiene standards.

that plumbing is dead

Where do I sign up?

Taking a shit here during a storm would be banging until you drop your phone.

Get a Stargate-style natural bidet going.

Ice throne

Thank goodness you can't get Chipotle out there, or you'd kill marine wildlife...
