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.

The spice, the spice melange.

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

how much is 5000 yen?

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

About tree fiddy (sorry I had to)

5000 yen = $34.54 USD

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

Turdy fo, fiddy.

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

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

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Only if it’s good enough

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

About $34 USD

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 14 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (2 children)

And they’re free.

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

Found the non-European.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

We call them Johnny Cash.

Thats the best thing ive read all day.

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

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 weeks ago

They want quality, not quantity.

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

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That was an American dad episode.

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The golden poop saga spans several episodes over multiple years!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

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