When will society create the retractable toilet?
- Thread starter Jayson1
- Start date
If we're going with raising ones, maybe include user settings per person for height as well as personal music settings too.
(Still, it's better than the tilted toilet idea)
Use setting for height is actually a great idea. One that should also be connected to new chair and couches and beds. We got tall people and short people. Wouldn't be nice if everyone had a chair that was easy to get up from?

I have great news for you: society has already created the retractable toilet. Here are some examples.

I don't really think everyone would be clamouring to get one of these, because:
Once you introduce moving parts into something, you make the system more complex, and more prone to issues. So in addition to all the regular issues that can happen with a toilet, you now have to be concerned about what if the mechanism for moving in and out of hiding fails. You're not going to be very happy if you really have to go, and you can't get your toilet to come out of the wall!
And then repairing these issues when they occur (or replacing the unit entirely) is going to cost you money that you wouldn't have had to worry about with the old-fashioned stationary toilets.You do mention space issues, and that does seem to be the main selling point of these. So I can certainly see them being used in tiny homes and apartments; I just can't see them being used everywhere.
(Also, just to let you know, I am going to correct your "toliet" typo in the subject line for you.)
You know that everyone who clicked on this thread is pretty much already doomed in that regard?
If I had the talent, I would make a gif from First Contact where the Borg Queen's head descends from the ceiling, except replace that with a toilet. Alas...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Here’s the problem with this.
Sometimes, when you need the toilet, you don’t have a second to spare to wait for it to emerge.

Someone failed to create unsinkable toilets.... This must be remedied immediately. Put Reg Barclay to work! Drink already works, too!

I *think* Kinja only allows hotlinking within the Gizmodo family, so I have converted this to a link. If they do allow third-party hotlinking, please direct me to the relevant part of their T&C, and I'd be happy to reinstate the inline image.
Moviepilot and Alamy are a little more clear-cut, so they have both been converted as well.
Or better yet, downtown New York City. They probably wouldn't even notice.
Now about this retractable toilet idea. I'd hate to be the plummer who worked on those pipes.......
