Lol of your dick isn't a gargantuan mass of veiny pulsating flesh shaped exactly like the 48 contiguous United States with tumorous blobs in the likeness of Alaska and Hawaii hovering ominously around it in an irregular and vaguely sinister manner.

steinrokkan posted:So, how did they manage this in three years? Are most of those latrines without running water? I don't know but there's been big national campaigns on the issue. Like, campaigns convincing people flushing toilets are a good idea, and if one gets built, they shouldn't use the room to store firewood or house animals. Its impressive progress if true.

Are most of those latrines without running water? toilets arent that expensive or complicated, it's just a question of throwing money at infrastructure and getting people to use it. many of the toilets have limited running water, and are just pit toilets http://www.swachhbharaturban.in also the stats are... not reliable. they're making progress but there's no way that map is accurate boner confessor fucked around with this message at 16:32 on May 1, 2018 |

What does pradesh mean? I'm guessing it's "district" or "country" or something similar in one of the major languages.

Speaking of India and maps, there's a gorgeous and incredibly detailed historical atlas at http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/ I can't post the maps here directly because it's using some dumb loving flash viewer for some reason, but check out some of these: http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/pager.html?object=076 http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/pager.html?object=097 http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/pager.html?object=102 http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/pager.html?object=098

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/05/hookworm-lowndes-county-alabama-water-waste-treatment-poverty quote:The peer-reviewed research paper, published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, focuses on Lowndes County, Alabama – the home state of the US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, and a landmark region in the history of the nation’s civil rights movement. “Bloody Lowndes”, the area was called in reference to the violent reaction of white residents towards attempts to undo racial segregation in the 1950s.

Here’s a paper from the OECD: That's percent of households below 50% of median income, which is only around 10% of the population, so still much fewer than in the US. Either way the Indian map did not specify a flushing toilet, which I'm guessing is the most relevant point.

There's a big difference between no toilets at all and pit toilets or communual toilets, I imagine in many rural areas they are simply trying to get people to install long drop toilets. Everest's gridiron, a less than popular subject in Indian history: Bigger

Here’s a paper from the OECD: India's map is not for flushing toilet, it's for toilet at all, as in, outhouse. India previously had a famous problem with open-air defecation, as in, you would have people literally making GBS threads on the sides of the main street in the middle of a town. As in, within view of anyone driving by. I imagine 100% of non-homeless Americans and Western Europeans have toilets.

Saladman posted:I imagine 100% of non-homeless Americans and Western Europeans have toilets. For some years I lived somewhere that didn't have a water toilet or bathroom - or potable water. Looking back it was pretty weird. At least there was an ample supply of firewood so you could bathe in sauna every day if you wanted, and the outroom was well designed and built so most of the smell was blown out by the constant sea breeze. I wouldn't do it again though. Morning ablutions requiring you to heat up a big kettle of water on the stove? Filling jugs at a public well every week? A bit too 1818 for me. Not that I actually know where I'd find a public well nowadays. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 23:06 on May 1, 2018 |
