When I went to Ecuador in the 80's we bunked at a kids camp. They gave us instructions to never flush any paper. They provided a wicker basket for paper. They collected the paper daily and burned it.
They also did the same thing in Korea when I was there in the 80's and 90's.. They did not flush paper in the toilet. That makes sense to me since most of the country had septic systems onsite. The cities may have been different but I really don't know because I never spent time in the cities. I was always on rural sites when I was in the Army there.

It's funny how it all devolves into potty humor...

My parents have talked about the shelf system AND not flushing the paper in their various travels. I get the theory of the shelf system, but I have to imagine more often than not it's gonna need a little outside assistance.

And somebody please tell me... The poop knife thing... Is that a real thing? Do people actually do that?

I mean, call me coddled or something, but pretty much anything that isn't your run of the mill, standard US water flush toilet just doesn't sit right with me. I mean, I've pooped in the woods and porta-pottys. I just don't know if I could poop on a squat toilet (hole in the floor). The shelf thing? I guess I'd manage, but, eh... I mean, even a bidet just doesn't work for me.

This should fit this topic very well. If not, poop on it. :rolleyes:
Years ago when I was renting a room in a house off from some friends, the guest bathroom toilet went out.

Roommates called me and asked me to remove the toilet since they were on their way home with a new one.

I dragged the toilet outside and had it sitting in the grass leaning against the garage.

Well.... I got a phone call. While on the phone I found a place to sit down.

While still talking on the phone the neighbor across the street comes walking by, looks up at me and just starts laughing 🧐🧐🧐

Thats when i realized my chosen seat was the toilet 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

We have an Outhouse in the woods down by the fire pit.
People come over and they ask where to "GO" we point to the outhouse, usually get a weird look Especially for out city friends.
When they go and come back, they usually make a comment about the outhouse.
It's a fully functional 1/2 bath with running water and normal toilet and a sink all piped into the septic system.

I have 1/2 bath in the garage (which is all attached to the house). I told my 8 year old granddaughter that it was my "outhouse" and that blew her mind and she found it so funny.

We're looking at home-schooling our boys again next year. We're moving to a small mining town but sick of the crap they bring home. There are some disgusting kids out there that are a direct reflection of their parents

And that's my rant for the day
We finally learned the same thing with our 2 youngest. We ditched public and private schools, and took up home schooling for them . They thrived and did well . Our community had a home school co-op which gave them some time with other good kids and some well rounded education. I taught one of my boys computer programming as an elective. They both took the California High School Proficiency (CHSPE) after their sophomore years and started Jr college at age 16. Best thing we ever did for them. One is now a very talented software engineer, the other recently graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in Cognitive Science. Going for his masters soon.

That's a huge commitment and achievement!!!
You must be very proud

I really don't think the mainstream school system is a positive thing
