The first bidets came about around 1700 and were manually filled. Indoor plumbing meant recognizable non-poo filled ones in the 1800s, but the modern toilet seat one was 1964, so keep that in mind wrt time travel.

They didn't have toilets in the 1950s? Surely that's not right.

Post search: How exactly are you defining "modern toilet seat"? The ones I'm seeing from the '50s look pretty recognizable.

I was talking about bidets, not toilets.

Weird that in my language "garderoba" means "changing room." As in clothes changing room.

residents hung their clothing in garderobe shafts specifically to rid them of fleas, using the ammonia from urine as a natural fumigant. The toilet and the wardrobe occupied the same small stone room for reasons that made complete practical sense at the time.
