Betcha thought this was a birthday thread and it isn't.

Toilet from the future Full article

And no this is not a birthday thread.

Indeed.

At first I was like but then I saw

Happy Birthday Toilet! O wait...

The toilet technology we're using now is pretty old iirc. :hellit'sabouttime:
Canada is the worst water wasting country in the world. this should lower our consumption a bit.
How will this get implemented? Will we have to update our plumping completely, or just stick the new toilet where the old one was?
Also,

SUPERTOILET!

I thought it was for third world countries.

it can be for both since they are far superior to any modern toilet today... sure there are some nice toilets out there but features from said hypothetical toilet can easily be moved over... e.g. self cleaning toilet seat, half flushes, motion sensor.

Don't forget the bidet. Oh mama mia.

Your local waste water treatment facilities do everything these "future toilets" claim to do plus more, except at a far more productive and economical level (i.e. churning out MGD's worth of waste as opposed to dinky gpd's per toilet - assuming they are used consistently). This isn't anything new, particularly to chemical and environmental engineers who work on this shit (no pun intended) every day.

Now a true "future toilet" would be one that doesn't fucking splash damage the fuck out of your fucking butt every fucking time you fucking drop a fucking bomb.

It's not for us developed folk, MA.

Whoops, mkay... still, I think we need better toilets.

My post was aimed at those who'd think this would be much better than our current system. But I suppose Canada could use something like this if they're so concerned about being green

Dying from diarrhea.... What a terrible way to go!

We had these in soviet times. It had something like a shelf where to put down your brick. The shit only goes into water when you flush. Stinks like hell, but no splash damage.
