So, I got this theory.

Whenever I have to poop really badly, it's always when I'm at a standing or laying position, yet when I go to the toilet to do my business and I sit down, it constrics my intestines and then I don't have to go anymore and I have to force to get it out.

My theory is that toilets are, in fact, working against our internal organs and causing strain and stress where there shouldn't be any and that it's trime that scientist and engineers began work on a toilet 2.0.

So, what do you think, OT? People tend to use toilets as the pinnicle of modern living, but maybe they're becoming too archaic for the good of man kind and maybe it's time that we invent a laying or standing toilet.

Would you want this? And what would you want out of the toilet of the future, esteemed members of the Off Topic community? :D

Isn't that natural crapping position that of a squat? People are lazy and lack lower body strength so I'd imagine they'd fall over trying to squat and take a dump, which is why toilets were invented to make things easier. I don't really know what a toilet 2.0 would look like though.....

A toilet where you can stand and poop, or laying down and poop?magicalclick

:lol: A prone toilet sounds so not worth it. "AHHHH MOVE OUT OF MY WAY I HAVE TO GO RIIIIGHT NOWWWW" *busts down door, takes off pants, starts to try and lay down in time*FrostyPhantasm

Already have them. :D

Hmmm interesting. Do we have mock ups?

Am I the only person that poops with their ass in the air?cd_rom

I just let it fall where it may as I roam about.

I'm pretty sure this is true. People on Bodybuilding.com made this "rig" where you basically squat instead of sit down and its apparently easier on your intestines DivergeUnify

I tried that, but it got uncomfortable having someone telling me to relax and breathe deeply every time I went to the bathroom.

You have a good point. I feel the same way most of the time. Never really thought about the design of a toilet before, but now that I do think about it, I can picture many ways in which a toilet would work better for me.

I would, but he'd give me crap about it.

Maybe when your behind is covered you feel relaxed, but when you expose it you feel threatened and cant loosen up.

Thats MY theory.

One time when I was about 5 years old I started cryin cuz no poop was comin out, my dad said eat a prune so he gave me one and I was blastin out that crap

Try it, not sure if it's just a placebo

Lmfao, I couldn't stop laughing.

Western toilets are poorly designed, sitting is not a position conducive to bowel movements. Asian toilets, which are designed for squatting, are what we should be using.Tylendal

I'm not too sure I want to be using this kind of toilet...

I really wouldn't want to lay down or stand up and poop.MushroomWig
