Maybe this whole "emitting body waste into a liquid" thing isn't a good idea. Maybe vacuum containers should be held to one's body during emissions and the silver/copper/stainless steel interfaces cleaned with lasers and UV afterward. The toilet was a great innovation in its day, but it seems ripe for disruption.

- adolph 3y agoWhy fit desks with it? It would be like a mid-sized handheld vacuum cleaner. Carry it around with you. Clothing will be redesigned around it.

- harveywi 3y agoThat is a bit overkill and lacking in energy efficiency and sustainability, though. A more environmentally conscious solution would be for western nations to bring back some French innovations from the centuries ago such as the bidet followed by the trebuchet.
- maxglute 3y agoThis post looks grey from downvote, but I agree, I am profoundly disatisfied with how stagnant flushing technology has been. I don't just want nice bidet and warm seats, I want a continuous flow removing poop while I'm on the seat.
