Why is it limited to only 100kph? I demand higher speed automobile defecation.

[–] musket528@sopuli.xyz 2 points 19 hours ago

i want this, but also with a functionality to transform these resources into fuel

I can't visualize the size of the cabin required for this seat. Will it also include a switch to make all of your windows opaque when you use it? This very much just feels like that episode of Doctor who where all those fuckers are stuck in traffic for their entire lives.

I just want a small duct to an underbody venturi nozzle that gently evacuates farts

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

the smells, the sloshing, what could possibly go wrong?

[–] schwim@piefed.zip 78 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Been doing it for years. You can poop and pee anywhere at any speed already.

speed maybe. but acceleration too?

what if you accelerate really hard backwards, can the dooky still exit?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My gut instinct is that the acceleration only makes it easier.

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

If you accelerate fast enough, it exits even faster.

Once this baby hits 88mph you're going to see some serious shit.

That's an untoppable comment. Don't worry, I'll wait.

Raab himself did a good one but its gone fron the internet now. So mad I fell for the 'things on will be on the Internet forever" lie.

Amazon drivers and truckers rejoice!

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah? Well, I've pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

This is the innovation that deserves VC funding

[–] willington@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

It doesn't use any AI. Not sure the VCs will be interested.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Imagine taking a deuce then getting into a rollover accident immediately afterwards!

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

I feel like it wouldn't be worse that getting into an accident and then... another accident.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

Even just like... hitting a speed bump would be pretty bad.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

Always has been?

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

wasn't there an episode in which Karl Pilkington was going on and on about how practical it would be to have a toilet seat under the driver and Ricky Gervais was grilling him for it

edit, yes ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2aKk0OLuc : Karl Pilkignton and The Shit Car
podcasts (radio shows?) were much funnier without the animation

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Came here for this. Yes that visionary, KP, came up with this 20 years ago.

There goes my excuse for speeding

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Use a Pringles can like a normal person. Fun fact*: That's why is called "going to the can" nowadays.

Good for being on a stake out

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Yes a 100km/h stakeout

Itt; shy poopers fantasize that this will ever catch on.

About time. This is needed after a curry weekend on the 100mile trip home

[–] JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

That is not the worst invention? Look at the state of many highway toilets and how disgusting they are. Or at all those areas where there are no toilets at all. Or look at how many places are trying to charge you money for pooping. Having your private one in your car sounds really helpful here. Most people drive alone without passengers and maybe you should park your car before doing the thing, but it is a good idea
