Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone?

(A rusty one?)

The simple answer is, porcelain is fairly durable, nonreactive and, well, smooth. You don’t want a material that’s prone to sticking in any way. The shape needs to be a certain way for the water to do away with… things.

That sucks when you have one of the THBPLTPLTBPHLTHLPTHPLTPPL ones in company, though.

It also needs to be cheaply mass producible. So making stuff from literal dirt is a pretty smart idea.
