    Forget the moon. We’re all within a few generations of the first people who had access to indoor toilets on a mass scale.

      India basically introduced toilets in a single generation.

      According to this article, in 1993, 70.3% of the Indian population did not have access to toilets. By 2021, the number dropped to 17.8%. So literally more than half the population of India got access to toilets within 30 years.

        the flushing kind or the hole in he ground kind?
        the there’s a sink kind. or there’s a communal soap bar to wash your asshole with and the other hand to eat with kind?
        wonder how many Indians are left-handed, or if that’s even culturally accepted
