England is doing this with extra steps. We just dump our raw sewage in the sea. Yay for privatised water companies.

    If the floor were solid maybe…

    But can you imagine trying to take a shit during bad storm or even a hurricane?!? That shit would be intense. Might be something like a nuclear Poseidon’s Kiss. Or maybe a kaiju sized bidet.

    you want to turn the toilet into a shit cannon?

    I have a problem with heights so the see through floor would not be something I’d enjoy. Although I’m curious about the “shit cannon”.

    it's very windy on the open ocean.

    if the floor was solid the only place for all that wind to go would be through that poophole.

    by making the floor slotted the design lowers the wind resistance and allows it to pass through, thus equalizing the pressure inside the room vs under it (think of it like a balloon).

    also because of the small size of the hole, should the floor be solid, the pressure is increased.

    this could be resolved by attaching a pipe the same size of the hole that sticks out of the bottom between 6-8 feet. I assume they didn't do that for maintenance reduction. though, this wouldn't stop sheer winds from shooting up the pipe.

    I had not thought about this but it totally makes sense.

    It does seem possible to engineer it to allow air but not light through. But given the demeanor of the folks that work on these platforms, they do not likely give two shits (pun intended) about the floor being a little open. Hell I bet most of the floors on this thing are like this.

    I think the major concern would be whatever is in front of the main "bowl". Is that just accumulated shit from people with really bad aim? Or, is that accumulated rust from people with bad aim and a lack of regular maintenance?

    the latter. with the floor being a grate, I reckon people just freepiss in there like it’s some sort of sink. or weather and salt..

    one bad weld and some rust and you’re falling, with half a turd hanging out, into the deep blue.

    Most toilets on ferries around Venice still work like this. Venice has a great waste removal system, at low tide, pee just runs into the water but poop gets stuck to sewers, then at high tide the tide takes away the poop.

    Then tourists romantically run their hands into the canal water from a gondola ride....while RFK Jr. swims past doing laps.

    "No thank you"??? Tf do you mean, what do you think fuckoff big blue whales do?

    Pissing down into a body of water is one of life's subtle joys, and you poo-poo the prospect of pooping into one?

    Don't know if things have changed, but that's what toilets on trains looked like when I was in high-school. You could see the ground rushing under you.

    I would love to take a dump with the salty sea air caressing my butthole, with the occaisonal tall wave as a bidet

    My fear would be the floor breaking out underneath you.

    Imagine if it had a rattle.

    Do your balls hang low?

    Do sharks eat those?

    Do they blow to and fro?

    Like the Antarctic snow?

    Do you tuck them up?

    Beside your butt?

    Do your balls hang low?

    What's with the title? I'm adding pooping here to my bucket list. I bet the sea breeze feels really nice (edit: and the plop sound would be satisfying).

    When I imagined a toilet with a view I never imagined the wiew being between my legs.

    This looks like a south east asian or middle eastern style seat with support areas for your boots, so that you can lift up the seat and climb up on it to squat. A hybrid toilet that supports both ME/SEA-style squat-usage and seated western usage (with seat down).

    Brave leaning the phone over it to take a photo.

    Well the cleaners haven't been there for quite a while, other than that, I see no issues.
