Ask HN: Is a Toilet a Chair?
- quaquaqua1 7y agoYou can argue both ways. You sit on a chair and you sit on a toilet. Most chairs arent made out of porcelain, but you certainly could make one. A toilet however serves a different purpose than a chair. This is the main definition that matters, because you can sit on a table or a roof, but those items are definitely not chairs.
- ksaj 7y agoYou could sit on the floor. That is definitely not a chair.
- jimmyvalmer 7y agoDefinitely. It's where you sit when talking to someone in the shower.
- ksaj 7y agoI don't see why not. The "toilets" in old-style camp outhouses are often called benches, and indeed they are pretty much benches with strategic holes in them.
