Step inside an every-day toilet. Seems pretty innocent at first.


However, when you open the toilet-seat, you'll see this void. The only reason there is empty space between the lid and the seat and it's only supported by those two plastic things is to save money.


And here's the real kicker: the seat. Look at all those details! If you look at your toilet, you'll notice that it's not as clean as this toilet. I don't want disgusting toilets on my site, so this is pre-cleaned carefully. But do you know how hard it is to clean all these nooks and crannies?

It's an extreme amount of work, it's impossible to get in there with a rag without using external tools. And what for? To save a couple bucks on plastic? This could all be remediated by just using fully filled toilet seats. The seat could be a full donut - wiping it down would be so easy, it would literally take 10 seconds to do a full clean.

I don't understand how a product so close to your literal shit, that receives shitsplashes daily can be so fucking hard to clean. It is a pathetic testament to human greed and illustrates plainly that people are horrible.
