Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, but soon we may not be able to crap on company time.

A British startup has introduced arguably the most insidious concept late capitalism has concocted yet: the sloped toilet. Look upon this and despair:


On Monday, Wired covered the StandardToilet, a company literally borne from one man's annoyance that he couldn't find a potty when he needed to take a hangover dump. Company founder Mahabir Gill got the idea, Wired writes, "while he was shopping in a department store the morning after a particularly heavy night out, and in desperate need for a toilet, could only find locked cubicles."

Thus comes the sloped toilet, a toilet angled downwards at a 13 degree slope that will cause its users' legs to ache after five minutes. The slope will indeed cause strain on the legs, but “not enough to cause health issues,” says Gill. “Anything higher than that would cause wider problems. Thirteen degrees is not too inconvenient, but you’d soon want to get off the seat quite quickly.” The toilet has already been approved by the British Toilet Association, which is a real thing that exists, and will retail between £150 and £500.

Unsurprisingly, when this story hit Twitter, almost nobody was happy. The toilet, as many will attest, is a sacred area of the workplace where a worker can recuperate and take a few minutes of work-free relaxation (provided they aren't going through some gastro-intestinal distress).




Others at least had a sense of humor about the thing.




At the very least, this is a development employees everywhere must resist lest corporate fatcats try to take our toilet time. Workers of the world, poop on!
