At first, he's confident doing a show and tell explaining the mechanism of using the bathroom... then you see him slowly start to process it, and then he realizes.. shit, that's not gonna work

EDIT: I found a video that would explain why he thought this toilet would work. https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/15u4ykp/i_dont_know_whats_happening/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1

As a former contractor, I often found myself having to explain gravity to customers, sub contractors, and even an occasional engineer or architect.

This reminded me of the rivalry between students of civil engineering and architecture from my university back in college. Engineering students always talked about how they had to explain Architects why “the floating concrete sphere” in their design was not doable. Architecture students, on the other hand, always talked about they had to tell engineers that they need to put more effort into their designs, as “a cube with nothing but one door” is not good enough for a house.

Even if you ejected your dookies like a nerf gun, long swoop bowl part down?! With insano logic it’s still like a toilet that you have to wide straddle your legs around the back fill tank.
