That reminds me of the story about the guy who refused to wipe because touching your butt is gay.

Unrelated to this, I've relistened to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds again for the first time in a few years and was surprised I'd never noticed just how much of a direct satire of fascism the artilleryman's song was. Like, I'd always understood that the point of the song is how unrealistic and detatched from reality the artilleryman has become, but for some reason I'd never quite picked up on how he's laying things out pretty much exactly how a fascist would describe their idealised society. Lots of good lines, but I think the funniest is "Everything we need: banks, prisons and schools."

It's a good album.

It owns, my 7 year old has been obsessed since we picked it up at a boot sale.

Heavily recommend tracking down the live performance with full orchestra and massive disembodied Richard Burton head, it's a fun few hours of watching.

There's also a "War of the Worlds Immersive Experience" in that London somewhere where you wander about through a big building while the different bits happen, keen to try that out some time.

The potential consequences of unexpected loo seats/lid positions:

for a penis-haver, seat down : a slightly smaller target.

for anyone, lid down : peeing on the lid and having it go everywhere.

for the unpenised, seat up : falling into the bowl.

Ergo, leaving the seat raised is bad, and lids should be abolished altogether.

You should really flush with the lid down to avoid poo poo spraying everywhere, including on to your toothbrush located 6 inches away, but most will never bother with that.

I'm a bit perplexed by that guy implying that you need to "aim" your poo poo through the seathole

or maybe not....

quote:

It was also found that airborne microdroplets were detected for 16 minutes after flushing the toilet with the lid down, 11 minutes longer than when the toilet was flushed with the lid up. The researchers suggest that this could be due to particles being re-aerosolised from surfaces rather than being created by the turbulence of the toilet flushing. Alternatively, the researchers suggest that airborne particles could stick together, or agglomerate, which would cause them to remain airborne for longer.

I saw the live show many years ago and can confirm it's great. I also was obsessed with it as a kid, as was my sister. It's like having a bedtime story read to you by a parent, except your mum and dad somehow have a prog rock orchestra in the room with you.

Intriguing, but probably very dependent on lid design. Mine kinda covers over the seat and forms a pretty good seal, whereas older loos seem to be a tiny flap smaller than the seat, with loads of escape room on the side.

This discussion reminds me of the rabbit hole I went down (pun heavily intended) when my wife and I made a joke one time to another couple who are friends of ours about how weird it would be to stand up to wipe your rear end. They had bemused expressions on their face and then asked us if there was any other way to wipe.

I soon discovered that there's something like a 50/50 split between sitting wipers and standing wipers, but almost no one realises anyone does it differently than they do. Truly the hidden divide that is tearing our society apart.

Labour's Sarah Jones says that No 10 appears to have said that the PM was told of the upheld complaint but he forgot.

She asks if the minister has ever been in a position where he has not "immediately been able to recall being told of an upheld complaint of sexual harassment by a minister".

Ellis responds by saying that the PM has a "myriad array of urgent pressing responsibilities" and may be told "literally hundreds of things in one day".

Sitting wipers: the above linked totally scientific poll indicates that we are in the majority, and thus morally superior to the standing wipers.

Let us join together and fight back against the deviant standers, who want to pervert the true and righteous customs of the majority (who sit when wiping).

It is time that we stand together (while not wiping) and fight this menace!!!

I caught a broadcast of this 15~ years ago intending to laugh because it sounded absurd to me and then I somehow ended up buying the DVD. Subsequent live shows are very different and have Liam Neeson as the Narrator. And they incorporated the Martian intro cutscene from his video game adaptation (this might be on the original show too).

I saw the Liam Neeson version ages back when it was playing in Tottenham Court Road and it was delightfully quaint and low budget. The music's as great today as it was decades ago though.

We did the WotW immersive Experience a couple of years back when it was in late beta. We enjoyed it a lot. One of the guys in our group was a bit too into it, offering help to the actors and talking 'old style'. Hopefully they patched that guy out, it was supremely awkward. I said something funny and made an actor crack, so hopefully they patched me out too.

There will possibly be issues if anyone is not able-bodied. I'm pretty sure I recall having to climb through a window at one point. Not sure if there are ways around that for wheelchair/crutch users.

I won't go into any other detail because spoilers. But if you like WotW, you'll like this.

If VR gives you motion sickness, take this as a warning: You will get motion sickness like a motherfucker. I had to close my eyes and go audio only for a couple of parts.

Edit: Not sure what the deal is with kids there, tbh. in places you go for a stroll with a VR headset/backpack. So I'd check with them before you go.

They picked the right time to open that issue for further study:

Other studies have also shown that use of the toilet lid reduces the spread of visible droplets which are produced when the toilet is flushed, but the physics of smaller particles is less well known.

Within a few months of then a significant fraction of the world's computing power was being devoted to finite element analysis of smaller disease particles.

More recent (post-2020) studies seem more pro-lid.
