Not really impressive, actually. It's just recency bias as I'm looking to replace the toilets in my house and did some research into the best choices. (Toto Drake is the best choice under $1000 if anyone is curious.)
I went with the Gerber Viper as the second best unit under $1000 but cheaper than the Toto. It's so good I just ended up replacing my other toilets with the same model.
So, I started a bunch of responses about putting toilets/sinks that HD sells in their washrooms to try to advertise them, but there's a bunch of reasons why the industrial models work much better in those situations.
Then, it dawned on me... Ikea should open a hotel.
The toilet that shares the delicious aroma by shitting on a little shelf outside water? I always wondered what's the benefit except forcing you to do your deed quickly because of the stench?
Yes. The first benefit is no water splash, the second one that you can properly examine your poop. I don't really see stench issues as long as you flush when you're done.
I know nothing about this but I wasn't under the impression that those special, "named" facilities with gold stucco dragons around their portraits in the WH were meant for actual usage by humans? More like museum pieces, maybe?
The one on the right is immediately 5x more civilized because it has a bidet. Can you imagine spending tens (or hundreds?) of thousands of dollars on tasteless marble and tacky decadent gold, and yet still coming out of the bathroom with a dirty bumhole every time?
I mean, 3 years could be most or all of the time he has left. Not to say I have any certainty that he will, or that he won't, leave the White House when his time is up. You never know what's just him trolling to distract from the Epstein files, though.
Y'know, there's blinds you can get that come up from the bottom to take care of that awkward placement so near the window. Let in the sky without mooning the tourists.
Donald Trump taste in everything is a reflection of him: concerned 100% with what he THINKS a rich and powerful person has and looks likes, as well as the superficial and gaudy displays of wealth that historically have garnered nothing but contempt from everyone.

So after all of that, Trump had a stock toilet from the Home Depot installed? That's actually a perfect representation of everything Trump.

Step 1: Marble
Step 2: Gilded shit
Step 3: Whatever, done.
The genius of Trump's classy design taste.

It's basically the Trinity Broadcasting Network aesthetic, only with more makeup and worse hair.
Godort@lemmy.ca · 46 pts · 302d
I think that's a Toto Vespin ii, which is admittedly a nice toilet, but yes, definitely just off the shelf of a Home Depot

I splurged and spent 150 on a low water usage style. I did upgrade the plastic seat to wood though, I'm classy like that you know.

But how many golf balls can it handle at once? That seems to be the advertised metric on the store shelves.

I feel like if that is your (not you specifically) shopping metric for a toilet, you should change your shopping metric to a better diet.....

Toilet is obviously an off the rack, lacks capacity for Trumps ass in both size and structural capacity.
No XXXL diaper changing station.
It's not tacky enough for the twice-impeached, court-adjudicated rapist with 34 felony counts, Donald J Trump.
