Lol the random toilet

30 comments

those random toilets are real and absolutely wild to see if you're not from the midwest
- My grandpa's open air basement toilet had a brick on the lid to keep rats from getting in. The rare times I had to use it I was always so scared of a rat showing up and half the time I couldn't even go because of it
  
  this is me but spiders
  
  To keep rats from entering the house via sewer lines or to keep rats from climbing in the toilet and drowning? I really need to know more about this open air basement
- Maybe those basements are tornado shelters. Than you need a toilet at some point.

- My grandma had one in the basement along with a "shower" which was just a spray nozzle and a curtain ring above the floor drain.
  
  I have that! But mine is fancy because it has a poorly laid concrete "basin" around it.
- That's an interesting piece of rust belt Americana, there.

I've had a Busch in this exact basement.
- Farmer water.

I once went to a cousin's house in the midwest, and we went to find something in the basement. Fam, it was like the last scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark: stacks and stacks of Stuff as far as the eye could see... To their credit, it was all in bins and shelves with aisle space and fairly well organized...

Great uncle had the toilet but also an overhead shower directly above a drain. Right next to the toilet, of course. The floor wasn't even angled to the drain. He used a mop to push the water to the drain.

I mean the random toilet yes, but those red metal poles...
Am in Midwest, have unfinished basement, have 2 red metal poles down there.

Every basement I've ever smoked weed in has looked like this

sigh damn near got my basement down to a T. Minus the exercise equipment, obviously.

I wanna play sega genesis down there so bad

Add a CRT with a GameCube and a couple of madcatz controllers.

@seahorse too much empty space

Fuck me this is accurate.

Could be from the Pacific North West if that ceiling were 3 foot lower.
- And if you could photoshop in the smell of damp dust and darkness

Never truly finish a basement in the midwest. Bare concrete is a lot cheaper to repair when it floods.

Accurate

Don't forget the weed bong.
- water pipe

Laughable Photoshop job lol
- Nothing gets passed you
