Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

About tree fiddy (sorry I had to)

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago

Turdy fo, fiddy.

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Hold on... can $34.54 power more than a single shit?

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 1 points 18 hours ago

Only if it’s good enough

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

About $34 USD

The picture of their special donation toilet with its dramatic lighting is one of the best things I've seen all day.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That loo looks amazing. I'd poop there for free. I doubt my poop would be good enough to get paid for anyway.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I spent some time in Tokyo. They have public toilets that are absolutely amazing. And they're free. And they're throughout the city. What a novel idea.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -1 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

And they’re free.

As opposed to.....paying to use a public toilet? I'm confused.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. Lots of places I've encountered in Europe and Central and South America have a charge for the public toilets. We call them Johnny Cash.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 hours ago

We call them Johnny Cash.

Thats the best thing ive read all day.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

Found the non-European.

Those crazy Japanese really will put anything in a vending machine.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If perfect poop is ¥5000, how about ¥2500 for subpar poop? I can donate regularly.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 hours ago

They want quality, not quantity.

"They call me the man with the golden dump."

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That was an American dad episode.

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The golden poop saga spans several episodes over multiple years!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I thought that was the case! But I wasn't sure enough to go that far.
