Apparently at the turn of the century people used to toss liquor bottles in there (drinkin while poopin i guess, whomst amongst us etc) and these old liquor bottles with raised lettering are worth a lot.

Deteriorata posted:I'm sure both happened, depending on the location. Malcolm X used to tip over outhouses as a kid on the outskirts of Lansing. Probably only did it once though. The Autobiography of Malcolm X posted:One Halloween night, I remember that a bunch of us were out tipping over those old country outhouses, and one old farmer-I guess he had tipped over enough in his day-had set a trap for us. Always, you sneak up from behind the outhouse, then you gang together and push it, to tip it over. This farmer had taken his outhouse off the hole, and set it just in _front_ of the hole. Well, we came sneaking up in single file, in the darkness, and the two white boys in the lead fell down into the outhouse hole neck deep. They smelled so bad it was all we could stand to get them out, and that finished us all for that Halloween. I had just missed falling in myself. The whites were so used to taking the lead, this time it had really gotten them in the hole.

No, just that moving the outhouse every time it gets full is loving stupid and was never done in civilized cultures. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

You know what’s really unpleasant? Moving a wooden box. There has to be a better way! I know! We’ll dig up a vast quantity of excrement out of a hole in the ground and move that instead.

The outhouse at my grandparents' summer cottage had a whole bucket-shaped tub with drainage holes poked at the bottom and emptying it was simply a process of digging a hole somewhere in the nearby woods, emptying the tub there and covering the hole up. Incredibly environmentally friendly, in other words. It wasn't as horrible as it sounds since using the outhouse also involved throwing in some drying agent made up of organic material of some sort so it was mostly dried out mush of somewhat composted excrement and toilet paper but still. It filled up too fast and was disgusting to deal with so eventually we built a new outhouse of the composting type so the end result is just earth you can throw in some much smaller hole in the woods. Technology saves the day once again.

Maybe you’re digging in your heels on what constitutes a civilized culture or there’s something else I’m missing here, but moving the outhouse when the poo hole fills up was, and still is, certainly done.

Platystemon posted:You know what’s really unpleasant? Moving a wooden box. There has to be a better way! Many, many outhouses are just composting toilets. Depending on the volume of poo poo you're putting in there, the size of the hole, the temp and humidity, the amount of lime you use for de-stinkifying, the poop breaks down and you use the same outhouse in the same place indefinitely. Others don't have a hole but a container (sometimes as simple as a bucket) that is regularly removed and dumped elsewhere. This is easier than moving a shed-like building and digging another large hole.

When it gets full you just shovel it into the neighbor's outhouse under cover of darkness. It's called a Lower Decker.
