    Yes, you should think about the poor owners who now can’t afford two solid gold toilets on their yacht and have to make due with one gold one and one silver one.

    But, no, you lucky asthmatics just think “oh god I can’t breathe where’s my inhaler” like a bunch of selfish jerks.

      I take a perverse delight in knowing that gold is actually a shitty material for a toilet.

      Because gold is relatively dense, and has a remarkably high thermal conductivity… well, this is why rings usually always feel cool to the touch even when you’ve been wearing them for a while. Does anybody like sitting on a cold toilet? cuz that toilet is never not going to be cold.

          I prefer cool, but warms up nicely. Which is what most toilets do.

          Gold would feel colder than porcelain would, and would never warm up.

              Not a good idea, not at all.

              The reason it feels colder than pocelain does at the same temperature is that it conducts a lot more heat away than porcelain does.

              On the other hand, if the shitcan were to be warmer, it conducts heat a lot more efficiently into your ass.

              In short, they’re liable to burn themselves. Which, that thought totally amuses me.

              (They have it coming.)

                Still thinking like a poor. The heated seat option is a literal human who sits on your golden toilet to keep it perfectly warm for you at all times.

                As if someone with a gold toilet would put up with a cold seat because of a power outage.
