Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

      Toilets are different though. If you’ve ever tried to fix one you’d eventually figure it out.

      Most people would call a plumber and pay the bill for swapping the feces-capacitor-unit or whatever is billed, and that’s how toilets work to them. They don’t think it’s magic, they think it works because the plumber was paid.

      To anyone who has tried to fix one, it also isn’t magic. It’s just a really clever design consisting of several valves controlling the input and output of water in different pipes. I won’t try to explain as there are several different designs, but the main idea is that valves work just like logical gates. On/off. Just like a computer has bits and booelean operations, toilets work by manipulating the gates(valves) either by user input (pressing the flush buttons) or by conditions changing (the pressure of water at certain levels).

      Toilets are logical. You can run Doom on toilets. Try to run Doom using the bible.

        Kinda funny that rather than explaining how toilets work you try to compare it to circuits, which I’d take a guess and say that a majority of people don’t know how they work, lol.

          This is on Lemmy, where every second post is about Linux. The users here know electric circuits better than plumbing.

        One time at baseball camp I was an outfielder because I was always too busy thinking about more interesting stuff than baseball. Eventually the ball ended up near me somehow, and the whole crowd was yelling at me as I came out of my reverie. So I threw the ball in the opposite direction by accident. The other team ran everyone around the bases while laughing at me.

        Anyway cool reply, have fun with your Doom toilet.

        If they were that logical it wouldn’t have taken Europe 1500 years to rediscover plumbing dummy
