We piss/shit in a toilet or a hole in some parts of the world and then we flush it.

How could his process be even improved? If we look at science fiction we've seen teleporters replace travel; replicators to replace a kitchen and lasers instead of bullets.

Have we seem anything for the toilet? Nope.

In star trek you never see any one take a piss or shit, nor so you see any toilet device. You hear references to a sonic shower but it looks just like a regular shower.

We have seen the 3 seashells in demolition man.

So is the future a pill you take that destroys the shit and piss inside you? Or press a button and beam it out of you?

You know what, you're right. WTF, Luke Skywalker never leaves a steamer in the 4 films we've seen him in. I blame the Illuminati.

RoyaleDuke · Jul 31, 2017

That's because everything happens offscreen.

Shitting in a hole and the shit then vanishing from sight is probably here to stay, but I expect that the removal process will be greatly improved. It's a huge waste of good, drinkable water the way we do things now.

Bronx-Man · Jul 31, 2017

I think George Constanza said it all when it came to toilet paper.

Biske · Jul 31, 2017

Just waiting to have a tiny anus portal installed on my ass that teleports the shit to some shit planet and I can effectively shit at will with no cleanup.

For those of you into anal, penetration will work as normal as the portal only works on the other side.

You're welcome.

As long as stuff needs to physically travel through a pipe to get out of your vicinity we're kind of stuck with the toilet model. Unless there was some energy efficient way to destroy the waste I can't think of a good way around this.

TheCochese · Jul 31, 2017

I don't know why we couldn't use bank teller technology.
Poop and *floop*

gcubed · Jul 31, 2017

The only solution would be to remove the need to expel it. Just make it so you don't ever have to take a shit

brianjones · Jul 31, 2017

Don't eat and you'll never shit

Japanese toilets are so god damn cool. They are horrendously expensive though.

typist · Jul 31, 2017

It occurred to me the other day that every home should have a urinal

womfalcs3 · Jul 31, 2017

How about just a self-clean feature? I could use that more than the Japanese version.

Beam me up, Potty.

Maybe AI will come up with an advanced toilet system (that hopefully doesn't involve exterminating us.)

In The Ripping Friends, in the future world of Next Thursday the cat has a psychic helmet that allows him to teleport his poo to the litter box.

We should be able to shit into his bowels so that he spends the rest of his presidency in the men's room.

Semajer · Jul 31, 2017

I remember seeing a TV programme a while back in which scientists were working on the next generation of toilets that would vaporise turds into plasma and use it to power the house.

I want to live to see this future.

No, but if I have a huge fart coming, I run into someone else's bedroom and do it over their pillow.

Retro · Jul 31, 2017

I feel like the next big step for bathroom technology is going to move everything into a singular shower stall, something like hoses that sense where you're standing and automatically extend and press against /seal your respective bits. You just release and it catches everything and gently cleaning the exposed skin while it whisks the waste away, then retracts and sterilizes for the next use. The sensor could also incorporate a bunch of other useful features like posture, balance, changes in skin hue (lack of vitamins that produce more jaundiced skin, for example) scan your skin for new moles while showering, etc.

I mean, eventually, we'll probably just get all of our nutrition in pill form, negating the need for solid waste, and just have reclamation suits ala Dune for the fluids.

Man, reading Bill's face he's clearly thinking "Ah man, I'm not drinking that, that's poo water."

L Thammy said:

I've long speculated that he'll go out like Elvis; a massive heart attack while straining on the shitter. Just look at his diet and stress levels, he'll probably be trying to force it out during a Fox News commercial break and be in the middle of a rage tweet when it hits him. Going out on the floor of a White House bathroom with his skid-marked undies (Made in China!) around his ankles still seems like way too dignified of a way to go for him, so let's quietly hope it's on an chilly steel prison toilet instead.

I've sat on one of those things. It was the most glorious poop I've ever had. I have to imagine it's even better in the 10 years since I put my butt on one.

BomberMouse · Jul 31, 2017

Gotta echo the sentiment of Japanese toilets. Pooping has never been the same after experiencing one.

Aztechnology · Jul 31, 2017

Most developed countries haven't even adopted Bidets yet. It's shameful.

It's gotta go there eventually. How else are we going to survive going outside?

Tezzeractor · Jul 31, 2017

No joke, I want toilets free of splash back.

They say the best ideas come to you on the can, but all I can ever think of is how to implement a splash free toilet.

Dude, just lay a single layer of toilet paper in the water first to avoid Poseidon's Kiss.

iamaustrian · Jul 31, 2017

dunno if true but I heard that you never see toilets or pissing/shitting people in the Star Trek universe because urine/feces get beamed out of the body once you feel the need.

Apparently the "computer" tracks your bladder/bowel status all the time and goes into action when needed.

I have to lay down multiple sheets between poos. I just don't like managing it.

L Thammy said:

Interesting. I'd worry about skid marks, but a couple squares of TP should handle it. Legitimately want this.

Eventually it will be an auto-attaching tube that sucks it all out of our butts.

Until it malfunctions... That could be a fetish in the making!

jellies_two · Jul 31, 2017

japan and korea is waiting till the rest of the world catch up.

But of course we haven't. Do you know how much interesting medical information is flushed? toilets could conceivably analyse everything and keep a log. But then there would have to be an anus recognition chip so that alcoholic drug addicted friends don't use your loo and muck up your data log.

JustSomeone · Jul 31, 2017

Maybe one day somone will invent food that provides nutrition to the body but doesn't make the body create any waste.

I'll see your japanese toilet, and raise you a South Korean one. (International First Class Lounge in Incheon - greatest poop of my life)

Had more spray options than the Japanese toilets I tried, more force, and a BLOW DRY.
