    As a person who had to empty one of those left behind at a homeless encampment, I have to say there are certain drawbacks. :)

    I would advise being VERY careful with this one on those freezing cold mornings.  Otherwise you might be waiting for the Spring thaw.  ;/

    Well of course.  PW clearly understands the importance of a ship having a Poop Deck.

  • Oh my dear Barbra! Saw a rerun of Untold Stories of the ER the other day, and a woman literally fell into the toilet and got stuck sitting there for 18 hours just because her husband left the toilet seat up.

    ...my concern with the "golden throne" is how to keep it clean and sanitised.  I'm certain you can't use the normal everyday cleaning supplies we know as they would damage the gold. Cleansers like Comet or Ajax right out, as well as a conventional dunny brush, as they would scratch the surface. I don't think chlorine bleach is good for gold either.

    Of course as it was in a palace, I'm sure they had some sort of high paid specialist who knew how to keep it clean without damaging it.

    You worry too much. Gold has been used for teeth. I had one in my mouth for 40 years.

    ...yeah but we don't ingest the kind of foetid stuff that goes down a dunny.  Anyway, it was just an idle thought on a slow Caturday afternoon.

    We chew things. Gold also survives relatively well on rings.

    Gold is highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, which is one reason it makes good electrical components and why it keeps such luster.

    It takes particularly powerful acids to dissolve, compared to most metals.

    ...just don't sit on the throne with the window open during a lightning storm. wink

  • wizwiz Posts: 1,100

    maybe they do that in display homes to discourage usage

    I've had people pee in the bidet. Nothing discourages usage.

    Chlorine bleach will not harm pure 24K gold. However, it will turn most gold alloys (18K, 14K, etc) gold black or brown. Chlorine ions forn an excellent electrolyte making a battery between gold and silver or gold and copper ions. Chlorine bleach mixed with hydrochloric acid will dissolve gold, a reversible reaction you can use to separate gold from alloyed metals.

    Gold is one of the most inert metals. One of the reasons gold is so valuable, both in industry and in jewelry, is that its dang hard to damage chemically. It laughs at the big 3 (hydrochloric, sulphuric, and nitric acids) (although it can be disolved by mixing hydrochloric acid and nitric acids in the proper proportions, as well as the earlier mixture of clorine bleach and HCl). It's also resistant to most bases. It does dissolve in hydrocyanic acid, like all of group 11. Don't try this at home. Hydrocyanic acid is a contact poison, and your home is probably not equipt to deal with it, the way mine is.

    Gold is a soft metal, and is vulnerable to abrasives, so clensers are a no-no.

    All of group 11 (copper, silver, and gold) have excellent chemical resistance, which is why those metals are found in huge, reasonably pure veins that can be easily mined. Gold is the most chemically resistant of the three.

    One of the easiest ways to wreck gold is to expose it to mercury. It alloys with mercury at room temperature, and the resulting liquid alloy just runs out of wherever it was. At higher proportions of gold, it turns into a crumbly brown solid. (yes, mercury turns gold into poop).

    I lead a more interesting life than most people. I even know what burning diamonds look like. And burning steel.

    I imagine so.

    Myself, the idea of sitting on a large, metallic object with high thermal conductivity (all group 11 metals have that in common, too) is cringeworthy. A gold toilet would always feel cold as long as it were more than a degree or two cooler than skin.

    ..crikey, where I live people relieve themselves on bus seats and in the lifts for the LRT stations.

    Imagine 100 years ago (or not quite so long ago in some areas of the US still) in the middle of a cold snowy winter's night and having to wander half-naked through the house, out the back door, perhaps having to shovel a 40 foot path of 2 foot deep snow to get to an unheated little, unlighted, drafty wooden building with a wooden bench sporting a hole opening to a foul smelling pile of a mixture of fresh and years old poop and piss deep in the ground, and then falling in.frown 

    Yeah, that was actually my family's reality until the 1960s, I think. Maybe not the falling in part, though. I hope. Their "toilet" was in a corner of the shed. (It's still there, just not in use anymore.) According to my relatives that grew up in the house in the 50s, they still used the outhouse back then. There used to be a municipal service coming around scooping poop once in a while. I've never actually thought about it until now, but... The corner of our shed that holds the old facilities is just a few metres (like 8-10 feet) away from where my grandmother (and later my parents) used to grow rhubarbs. Uh, yum..?

    ...actually I had "official" deck by deck plans of the old Constitution Class (Original Series) and yes, there were dunnys in the crew quarters. They just never bothered to go into the need for their use in the series or films.

    It also lets off a poisonous gas.   Whenever you see a news flash about a chemical incident in a public place like a swimming pool area or anywhere that has public toilets and not very well educated cleaners you can bet your bottom dollar that someone has used a bleach based cleaning fluid straight after some else has used a hydochoric acid one acid one. Or even someon has used both together trying to get something clea.

    Again?  Seriously?  I've traveled all over the world and i've never seen a western style toilet that didn't have a lift-up seat... no lid often, but never no seat in any place that has indoor plumbing.  And yet, over the last few years there have been literally dozens of bathroom sets sold at DAZ with toilets that lack that simple basic part.  What in the heck?  Is there some kind of weird censorship going on behind the scenes?  Do these artists all live in areas where they only have the asian styled trench or squat toiltets and think that the western toilet is just some odd piece of impressionist art?  And, most puzzling of all, why doesn't DAZ quaality control ever catch this?           

    I have. At a caravan park in Adelaide South Australia. Stainless bowls with no seats. Not one, in a long row.

    More than likely they got sick and tired of people nicking the seats.. :) What I have found worse especially with public toilets is finding logs still in the bottom if the bowl, or in one case when I was a cleaner finding No.2 sprayed all over the toilet.. :(

    Funny thing I live in a caravan park on the South Coast about 2 hours from Adelaide, and so far no one has nicked the seats from the toilets.. :)

    What do you think that big white seat that Capt Kirk sits in is?
