An incredibly slippery 3D-printed toilet doesn’t get dirty and requires less water to flush than a typical one, scientists say. Could cleaning toilets become a chore of the past?
Right now, the concept is just a prototype, but researchers are working on ways to eventually bring this clever chemistry to market. So far, the researchers have printed only a tiny model of the toilet that stands about one-fifth the height of a typical porcelain throne, and they tested its slickness by exposing its surface to yogurt, honey, starchy gel and fake poop, not the real stuff.
Let me guess, is it made out of some kind of polymer that will dump more microplastics into the water supply?
Sounds like a super bowl!
What about the smell?! You haven’t thought of the smell you bitch!
Technology stealing my job.
They’re gonna need to make the hole bigger if I have any chance of using it
