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.

You can now get paid 5,000 yen for your poop in Japan, but only if your poop is good enough (soranews24.com)

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

The spice, the spice melange.

how much is 5000 yen?

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

About tree fiddy (sorry I had to)

5000 yen = $34.54 USD

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

Turdy fo, fiddy.

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

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

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

Only if it’s good enough

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

They want quality, not quantity.

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

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

That was an American dad episode.

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The golden poop saga spans several episodes over multiple years!

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

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

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

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