Mildly Interesting

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.

The picture of their special donation toilet with its dramatic lighting is one of the best things I've seen all day.

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

About tree fiddy (sorry I had to)

5000 yen = $34.54 USD

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

Turdy fo, fiddy.

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hold on... can $34.54 power more than a single shit?

Only if it’s good enough

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

About $34 USD

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

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And they’re free.

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

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

We call them Johnny Cash.

Thats the best thing ive read all day.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Found the non-European.

If perfect poop is ¥5000, how about ¥2500 for subpar poop? I can donate regularly.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 18 hours ago

They want quality, not quantity.

"They call me the man with the golden dump."

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was an American dad episode.

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The golden poop saga spans several episodes over multiple years!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I thought that was the case! But I wasn't sure enough to go that far.

Those crazy Japanese really will put anything in a vending machine.
