Been doing it for years. You can poop and pee anywhere at any speed already.

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

speed maybe. but acceleration too?

what if you accelerate really hard backwards, can the dooky still exit?

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 weeks ago

If you accelerate fast enough, it exits even faster.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

My gut instinct is that the acceleration only makes it easier.

Once this baby hits 88mph you're going to see some serious shit.

That's an untoppable comment. Don't worry, I'll wait.

Raab himself did a good one but its gone fron the internet now. So mad I fell for the 'things on will be on the Internet forever" lie.

Imagine taking a deuce then getting into a rollover accident immediately afterwards!

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 weeks ago

I feel like it wouldn't be worse that getting into an accident and then... another accident.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 6 points 4 weeks ago

Even just like... hitting a speed bump would be pretty bad.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 weeks ago

Always has been?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 11 points 4 weeks ago

Oh yeah? Well, I've pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

Amazon drivers and truckers rejoice!

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

There goes my excuse for speeding

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Use a Pringles can like a normal person. Fun fact*: That's why is called "going to the can" nowadays.


~*May~ ~be~ ~nonfactual.~

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

the smells, the sloshing, what could possibly go wrong?

[–] XLE@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the innovation that deserves VC funding

[–] willington@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesn't use any AI. Not sure the VCs will be interested.

[–] XLE@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Think of the enshittification-adjacent opportunities though!

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 4 points 4 weeks ago
[–] BigTwerp@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

Why is it limited to only 100kph? I demand higher speed automobile defecation.

[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Good for being on a stake out

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes a 100km/h stakeout

I can't visualize the size of the cabin required for this seat. Will it also include a switch to make all of your windows opaque when you use it? This very much just feels like that episode of Doctor who where all those fuckers are stuck in traffic for their entire lives.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

wasn't there an episode in which Karl Pilkington was going on and on about how practical it would be to have a toilet seat under the driver and Ricky Gervais was grilling him for it

edit, yes ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2aKk0OLuc : Karl Pilkignton and The Shit Car
podcasts (radio shows?) were much funnier without the animation

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Came here for this. Yes that visionary, KP, came up with this 20 years ago.

[–] Lj404333@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

About time. This is needed after a curry weekend on the 100mile trip home

[–] musket528@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

i want this, but also with a functionality to transform these resources into fuel

[–] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago
[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Itt; shy poopers fantasize that this will ever catch on.

[–] JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

That is not the worst invention? Look at the state of many highway toilets and how disgusting they are. Or at all those areas where there are no toilets at all. Or look at how many places are trying to charge you money for pooping. Having your private one in your car sounds really helpful here. Most people drive alone without passengers and maybe you should park your car before doing the thing, but it is a good idea

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm going to take their designs and patent a complementary system that expells the waste at vehicles behind you like a James Bond Q gadget.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

There's been times I've wanted something like this when stuck in a bad traffic jam

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just want a small duct to an underbody venturi nozzle that gently evacuates farts

[–] null@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

I knew, one day, the concept car world would come back to life.
