Man, I feel those people who still don't have proper toilets and sewage waste systems in their countries

Nothing beats comfortably sitting down having a plop, casually flushing it away and never having to worry about it again.

The thought of a world without toilets sends shivers down my spine.

What about you? Discuss

Some public places in Turkey have those toilets that you have to squat over to pee.
I freaked out the first time I encountered one, and made someone drive me to a nearby mall so that I could pee sitting down on a proper toilet.

They are when you really need to go. I think any invention is the greatest when you need it most.

No, not really.
I've never been the camping type of person for this reason.

There are people who live in Turkey who refuse to use those toilets as well, but yes.

Yeah France has those too, but most places nowadays also have normal toilets too so it isn't that big of a problem, but if you're unlucky you can still find places where you have to stand/squat. My mom and sister always used to complain about it, good times :P

People who have never lived--no wait, been-- to a country where many do not have the access to flushing toilets will never realize how wonderful the flushing toilet is. The sight, the smell of all the villagers' piled up feces all in one place, plus the very real threat of life-threatening diseases such as cholera... yes, I definitely think the toilet is one of the best inventions of all time, along with vaccines.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Yes, definitely! It's the greatest convenience that's taken for granted. Even in places like Japan, the squat toilets might be shunned for a queue to sitting toilets instead! The odor containment, the comfort, the easy disposal, never want to take up the alternatives...(like outhouses...)

In all seriousness, yes, toilets and indoor plumbing are certainly among mankind's greatest inventions.

The sewage systems are. Now we can have our poops transported to a far away land, cleaned and sent back into the oceans.

But the toilet? Nah, that's just a ceramic pattern with a water trap. The cistern and syphon are pretty cool though:

This is the same way I feel about America and other countries who don't have a bidet. Many of you probably don't even know but it's a thing, next to the wc, that lets you wash your ass/balls/pussy in total comfort when you finished taking a dump, giving you a fresh and clean sensation toilet paper alone will never give you. Seriously, do you wait to take a shower to properly wash your ass/other stuff? That's just disturbing...

A bidet (US i/bɨˈdeɪ/ or UK /ˈbiːdeɪ/) is a plumbing fixture or type of sink intended for washing the "private parts" of the human body, and is typically installed in a bathroom.
