I do know folks who had a shower cabin installed in their kitchen, but it's very much not like that and most importantly there is no goddamn toilet in sight.

(Old apartment house, built before the idea of modern bathroom facilities, and they only now got around to fixing it. The toilet's in a separate room that goes off the stairwell. A surprisingly common sight around these parts; in fact my apartment used to be like that, but they put in a nice bathroom and converted the stairwell toilet into storage, which is pretty unique and turns out to be incredibly handy to boot.)

Domestikator symbolises the power of humanity over the world. It pays tribute to the ingenuity, the sophistication and the capacities of humanity, to the power of organisation, and to the use of this power to dominate, domesticate the natural environment. The act of domestication, however, often leads to boundaries being sought or even crossed. Only a few taboos remain, and it is these taboos that the Domestikator seeks to address. At the same time, one could argue that humanity itself is being domesticated by the optimized systems and organizations of the digital world and the advancement of science.
Domestikator’s themes coincide with a number of recurring topics in the work of Atelier Van Lieshout, like utopia, dystopia, idealism, power, ethics, religion, love and reproduction. Domestikator is part of the ongoing series New Tribal Labyrinth. New Tribal Labyrinth presents a vision of a future yet primitive world, a society inhabited by imaginary tribes where ethics will be of little importance. This world will see a return to farming and industry, to rituals and rites – with Domestikator as a temple for a new religion, a place where the high priest can address the masses.

You could have humans having rear-entry sex in one of the heads and animals having sex in the other for a real "gently caress the neighbors" scenario.

Also lol @ the idea of a society with rituals, rites, priests, and temples but somehow has no ethics. Ok. Sure.

Domestikator
2015
Domestikator is a large scale artwork that serves as a totem, a temple and a beacon. It symbolizes the power of humanity over the world and pays tribute to the ingenuity, the sophistication and the capacities of humanity, to the power of organisation, and to the use of this power to dominate the natural environment. In order to support 7 billion people, agriculture has become an industry, with factory farming and genetic manipulation a necessity. This provides us with an ethical dilemma, as this kind of farming seems to border on abuse. At the same time, the literal abuse of animals, bestiality, is one of the last remaining taboos. Why is it that treating an animal like a fellow human is an unspeakable act, whilst treating an animal like a resource for industrial production is the norm?

Domestikator is part of the larger installation The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is a temporary settlement in Bochum, Germany that was designed for the Ruhrtriennale, a festival for theatre, music, dance and arts.

what an arty urinal

I went to a bar years ago with a friend and the sink was literally a urinal trough with taps above it, I realised this just in time but my friend didn't when he went later and pissed in the sink.

We were both drunk and it turned out the only reason people went to that bar was to buy drugs so I guess toilets weren't high on their agenda.

There are preserved Roman kitchens in Pompeii that have toilets in them because that's what the Romans did. One had the Evil Eye drawn on the wall next to it with 'shitter beware' in latin next to it.

Unsurprisingly the exhibit said that food poisoning was rife.

Well anyway those are my bathroom stories, beware fellow shitters!

If you've already installed wallmounts and then realize that your client is too robust for them, it's probably easier to put in a brace than redo it all.

We never had a porkchop (I really hope that is a true story) but stuff everywhere was a regular thing. Also blocking toilets and then repeatedly trying to flush them and flooding the stall/room. Inevitably this is because someone was stuffing pads or tampons down there. Come on people, there is a receptacle for those right there in the stall, unless you are some poor kid having your first experience with this what are you doing? Why do you hate us?

To be fair, in the men's room you'll almost always have some jackass who throws the disposable hand towels into a urinal. You know it doesn't flush stuff down, quit it! :argh: But that usually doesn't result in a flood.

There are a lot of women who don't know that you aren't supposed to flush menstrual products, sanitary wipes, and diapers down the toilet. Which seems insane except then you remember all the other misinformation, hearsay, and bullshit urban legends you've ever heard about menstruation/women's bodies and realize that there's no reason for basic plumbing maintenance to be the exception.

There are also assholes who know and do it anyway.

It doesn't help that a bunch of things that shouldn't be flushed have "flushable" right on the label.

A friend of mine made a bottle cap coffee table in college. He simply mailed Abita brewery and explained his project and they sent him back a whole box of unused caps in several varieties.

It's obviously not as fun as drinking a few hundred beers, but it's a lot cheaper for sure.

Nah, the OCD people will already be tormented by the need to count and then categorize them. If you really wanted to mess them up, gradually make each row of caps a tiny bit narrower than the one before it (like just imperceptably squish the caps so they're a tiny bit narrower in one dimension) and then start adding caps to each row, so at one end of the bar there's like 15 caps across and at the other end it's up to 18.

The OCD people are already too crippled by anxiety that they'll make some normal mistake and condemn themselves/everyone around them to a horrific death to worry about the bottle caps

That sure looks like a wheelchair elevator. A poor looking install, but people who need those things don't usually have a ton of money to pay some to make it look good and insurance probbaly only covers the basic install.

To have the stabilizing mass closest and more securely fastened to the rotating mass? If you have it in the bottom, the table itself becomes a link in the mechanical chain. On the top, at least it's attached to the lathe and is directly assisting without a wobbly table in the way.

Still a bad idea.
