Picture: person trying to open a closed toilet
optimistic and bloomerpilled to assume there will be enough internet and electricity to use on frivolities like smart appliances 20 years from now.
more likely the oligarchs will have you pay the daily fee to get 5L of grey water redirected to your pipes so you can flush and wash your hands
Sadly it will probably take something like this before most people consider using a composting toilet, which requires no connecting infrastructure, is not dependent on water pressure or electricity, never clogs or spills over or fails to flush, uses byproducts to stay sanitary, gives you fertilizer after 6 months, and unlike its cousin the portapotty does not smell offensive or use harsh chemicals.
most people* live in apartments and have no way of using composting toilets. i’m not going to occupy my balcony with several buckets of slowly decaying poop and sawdust
- i have no data for this, just assuming based on people i know

never […] spills over
skill issue
I haven’t had that happen to me in the last 10+ years of using flush toilets, but I don’t live alone and other people are going to make mistakes.
No need to turn the problem of opaque and proprietary technology into a case of victim blaming. Take control of your means of existence with technology you can easily understand and replicate for yourself, that doesn’t put you at the mercy of the bourgeoisie.
Shit in a bucket* and flush with a cup of sawdust, it’ll change your life.*Or a sheltered trench, or preferably a latrine with two seasonal storage compartments.
oh no, clogs happen, i meant overflowing a composting toilet is something you can do if you try hard enough and eat poorly enough.
hbomberguy has a new 4.5 hour long video essay on this subject (EAAS, not toilets specifically) and it’s pretty stellar. It should be fully available soon.
Fun fact: evil people can be used as public toilets while they’re still alive. You just need to get creative.
Or private toilets.

That’s fine I’ll just take a dump in their office.

I remember someone had a solution for this in the truck stop bathroom on Route 66 East. I think it might have been a few someones.
