This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You can now get paid 5,000 yen for your poop in Japan, but only if your poop is good enough (soranews24.com)

That loo looks amazing. I'd poop there for free. I doubt my poop would be good enough to get paid for anyway.

I spent some time in Tokyo. They have public toilets that are absolutely amazing. And they're free. And they're throughout the city. What a novel idea.

And they’re free.

As opposed to.....paying to use a public toilet? I'm confused.

Yes. Lots of places I've encountered in Europe and Central and South America have a charge for the public toilets. We call them Johnny Cash.
