Not "in the ground" in the strict sense, but I'm pretty sure that composting toilets would scale to population density. Same basic idea as shitting in a hole (and probably more useful than water-based toilets).

- zevon 1y agoOf course sewers are amazing but they are used for a lot more than toilets. My point was: Composting toilets do not need to take up much more space than water-based toilets and it's entirely feasible to use them in many living settings. It's also possible to make use of the "waste" by composting it further, using urine as fertilizer and so on.
