Japan is the most seismically active country in the world. The likelihood of people being in an elevator when an earthquake severe enough to incapacitate the elevator hits is pretty damn high. This is just a pleasant thing to have.
Hi! 911? Yeas, I need some help, I’m stuck in an elevator… There’s poop everywhere! Hurry!
Well, I didn’t find anyone else saying it, so…
They’re taking this shit to a whole new level.
When the ring of fire has 7 levels
Extraordinary push indeed.
It says “非常時”, which means in case of emergency or something along those lines, definitely not extraordinary
What is an emergency if not an extraordinary time? (I get what you’re saying too, just think it’s interesting as far as translation goes)
Emergencies are certainly an extraordinary time, but not all extraordinary times are an emergency. I wonder why it translated like that
Japanese and other character languages (idk the linguistic term off hand) tend to encapsulate phrases or meanings to characters. So it isn’t the same as say translating from French to English. It is a lot more challenging plus context can change the meaning of characters too.
You’re right, but there’s no additional context here, should be a pretty easy translation
ohh it’s for emergencies
(but also can be used for shitting on the go)
Isn’t every time you need to take a shit, an emergency?
i’d imagine using it would be in a similar category to an emergency exit: don’t unless it’s an emergency; the choice is yours and there are consequences for misuse
I should have kept reading before commenting lol
Honestly, one of my big fears is being stuck in an elevator when I have to take a dump. This would be a relief.
- doors ding open
- me: OCUPATO!!
literally shitposting
Well, not yet - it certainly doesn’t look used…
If it was ‘hey check out my throne’ with a shot of bare knees and shoes then that might be different
Do you think it uses a holding tank and just empties when it reaches the correct floor?
Nah it’s an incinerator toilet
Probably the idea of whoever had to clean the first time
Modern problems require modern solutions
Makes sense. Stuck elevators. They should also put some sort of nonperishables and water behind emergency* glass.
Food!? How long you expecting to be stuck in the elevator??
Based on the other comments, it seems like it’s more in case there’s an earthquake or something and the elevator is stuck under rumble. If you were trapped in an elevator under rubble for a few days, it’d probably be nice to have a snack on hand.
In a massive earthquake that knocks out the power grid you could be trapped for some time before crews reach you to free you even if the building is structurally unharmed.
I already didn’t love elevators, but now you’ve unlocked a new fear! Trapped in an elevator, that is then trapped inside rubble…
I love Japan for doing these kinds of gimmicks. Go Japan
I breathe Japan
Why everything in Japan is so personalized and given attention to detail
Imagine going down from the 30th floor and it stops at the 20th floor and a big 300lb American tourist rushes in and panic operates the buttons. As soon as the door closes he looks at you, apologies and says he has to use the toilet.
The elevator suddenly stops
Yes, because if he’s heavier, it’s grosser, because we’re children and we like to shame people based on their bodies.
if he’s heavier, it’s grosser
Good point.
You shouldn’t hate yourself because you’re fat, bro <3
You should hate yourself for so many other reasons.
It’s funny because the morbidly obese can’t properly use such a small toilet so it would definitely make a mess, ha.
Obesity isn’t like race, sex, height, facial structure and other things that can’t easily be changed. Any fat person that doesn’t want to be mocked can simply lose the weight. I know it’s hard but it’s not hard enough for me to give a fuck.

This is simply not true for everyone. Sometimes there are medical reasons that make losing weight very difficult.
Disability, food deserts, depression, anxiety, Neuro divergence, race, medical conditions of all sorts, genetics, government policy, poverty and a million other factors play into obesity. If you mock people based on their appearance then you’re absolutely the type of human shit stain that would mock people based on their race, gender and other characteristics if you didn’t think there’d be social repercussions for it.
In short, fuck you, you suck. Be a better person.

That’s my key point. All you did was give causes and guess what, everyone has baggage. We all have challenges and those that refuse to do the most basic action and help themselves have made a mockery of their lives.
Goverment policy, poverty and even neuro divergence most likely play a huge part in the attitude of a racist uneducated hick. The hick and the fatman know there is a solution to their problem and that they feed into their own habit but they are mocked for it, because they refuse to change.
Obviously some have medical issues and simply can’t lose the weight but those are few and far between. I also draw the line at mocking the homeless. The rest are fair game imo.
I’ll refrain from insulting you personally but fuck your petty pc bullshit.
This has big “You’re depressed? Have you tried going for a walk?” vibes
Maybe for a simpleton. Depression is much more complicated and mostly doesn’t have simple solutions, while a simple healthier lifestyle is literally the solution for 99% of cases of obesity.
Instead of pushing for fat acceptance, fat people should accept a salade every now and then.
You have any data whatsoever to back that up?
