Personally, I think it's like people with a foot fetish. Ok gross and weird but isnt harming anyone.

I guess I'd rather the toilet enjoy itself. As long as it doesn't start making little happy noises while I'm trying to poop 😰

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 24 points 8 months ago (6 children)

I find the thought of encouragement more disturbing.

"Come on, buddy you can do it.. yeah, I see that's a big one...."
ghasp
"a REALLY big one. I can see it. Push, don't forget to breathe.. yeah, there ya go, pinch it off. Nice! You've changed your diet, haven't you? Good job!"

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 8 months ago

Oh hey, suggestions of diet changes for health might be nice, suggestions because they like corn, not nice.

I can't believe I wrote that

I heard this in a sports announcer’s voice, with everyone in the house listening.

All I get is Gilbert Gottfried.

I will probably opt to go poop in a bucket out in the yard then

If my toilet were sentient, I would get a non- sentient normal toilet. Idiot OP.

[–] PixTupy@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Would you keep the sentient one as a friend?

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 17 points 8 months ago

Sure. It’s not like I have many friends.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This would probably be the only option but it would still be difficult because for a start there'd have to be a period of time between discovering it was sentient and getting that new toilet and you'd still have to shit and then there's the issue of whether the toilet can survive if removed and if it wants to or is OK with being move/removed. If not, you'd have to basically get an entire new bathroom to place a new toilet in which could be financially difficult.

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

You vastly overestimate my level of empathy for my talking toilet; I’d rip that bitch out in a heartbeat

[–] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Any strong feelings are undesirable.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't you rather bring great joy and pleasure every time you go?

[–] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

I consistently shit at work, I don't want to disappoint the guy I live with.

If they were sentient I'd put them in the living room, so they could watch TV with us.

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Is it just my toilet in my house or all toilets in the world? Could I move and avoid having this problem?

Is killing my toilet an option?

If I have no other choice I guess crave....

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 months ago (3 children)

If you could kill the toilet, would you really wanna defecate in the dead body of a sentient being?? Thats cold

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

If I am being honest I don't really want to defecate in an body of a sentient being living or dead. Although I don't know what would be worse.

Toilets do a really important job and it is one that I would not enjoy doing myself.

If it's got a poop fetish then fuck it, I'll host parties and take suggestions on what too feed guests!

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd want it to love it but hate itself for how much it loves it.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

It's disturbing when I have a clever response to the title of a post and then click in to see it already typed out staring back at me.

You sick (and prompt) fuck.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 months ago (4 children)

I don’t know what show or year even, but when I was a kid I remember some weird sci fi show or movie with people being on a sort of sentient organic space ship, and the toilets were literally this. Living things that would feast on human waste, iirc including going the extra mile of having tongues to lick the user clean.

[–] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 10 points 8 months ago

I already spend too much time sitting on the toilet. If I got a good tonguing, I may never leave.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Tongues? Just, hear me out for a second..

I’d like it to the the personality of Wilma Flintstone’s vacuum. β€œIt’s a living”

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Aaand that's enough internet for today.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Crave it. The other way would be cruel.

IRL I'd go somewhere else, of course, but that's not the spirit of the question.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean I don't wanna force my toilet to consume my poop, i'm not a capitalist!

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Crapitalist*

[–] ashok36@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

While your toilet isn't alive to crave your waste, the microbes and such at the waste water facility that your crap goes to do in fact crave and need your waste to survive and propogate. It ain't ice cream, but your crap always ends up as food for something.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hate me for it. I don't need to hear moaning everytime I need to take a shit.

I wish it was indifferent and defeated, like the appliances in the Flintstones.

[–] superterran@discuss.online 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You definitely want it to enjoy the experience, otherwise it seems too risky to sit

I could deal with either as long as it doesn’t terrorize the dog.

[–] Devi@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

When you poo in the woods the poo is instantly covered with bugs and bacteria that love poo and start to break it down.

I guess it would be just the same, you know someone is eating it but it doesn’t really enter your thoughts

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Feed me poop daddy uwu

Soil is kinda sentient...and it doesn't "crave" waste but definitely uses it as food to get healthier so let's do that instead of water sports nightmare toilet collection?

Look up skibidi toilet... oh no wait, better yet, don't! :-P

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd rather they think of it as a normal function, like breathing is for us.

But I guess I'm not into extremes.

If my toilet was sentient, I'd start going to the bathroom outside.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's cruel if it enjoys it, like not feeding a pet.

[–] mnglw@beehaw.org 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

no its not, consent is important

I do not consent to having my bodily waste be enjoyed by my toilet

Since its main purpose is to flush bodily waste, I'd be making it extra happy. Since a toilets' nature seems to be wanting to be clean, it will be very happy with me. My diet produces very easy to process waste.

We'd be best buddies, and I would expect some moaning and groaning. Probably posting about it on their assbook pages.
