    My first thought would be that it’s probably located in Penn Station in NYC. But walking out of the station and smelling the air, it’s possible the streets of the city itself are the toilet we’ve been looking for.

    I have such a problem with the expression “take a shit.”

    Really ought to be “leaving a shit.”

    I’m not a turdburglar. I plant them, I don’t take them.

    I was at an airport bathroom in Cuba, pretty sure it was that one. The taxi drivers standing around it seemed pretty proud of the fact.

    This is something that can be found out, actually. For example, large monasteries that have existed for a millennium or longer are likely candidates. Though, maybe some airport loo generates enough turd per day that they can cover that monastery’s monthly turd production in a day?

    That would mean that they are able to turdify our seas in half a century as much as the large monastery can do in about 15 centuries.

    What toilets have a constant queue 24/7, decade after decade? There aren’t that many of those.
    We can do this. We just need to put our heads into it!

      It’s probably going to be some public toilet in Ancient Rome. 600+ years of men sitting shoulder to shoulder, shitting into a sewer that automatically carried their leavings away without the need of interruptions for cleaning.

      If the toilet needs to be intact for it to count, it might even be one of the ones in the very picture I linked.

      I’m guessing a bathroom in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It has the most flights per day of any airport and probably reaches the 1000-year total of a monastery in a week.

      Another hub airport (probably in the US or PRC) might have the edge if it has fewer bathrooms per flight or renovated them less frequently.

      Hmm, what if the toilet fixture was replaced due to age/damage/upgrade, but is still in the same location connected to the same drain? Is it the same toilet? Does a toilet of Theseus count, or does the counter restart?

        I’d say no myself. If you replace the toilet that’s a new toilet. We aren’t look for the pipe that’s held the most turd, we are looking for the toilet that’s held the most turd

        I would say yes, but only if its replaced and not moved (so pit toilets would be difficult to count), this way the result is the shittiest place on earth. With the advent of modern plumbing, most commodes are less than a century old, but we have to account for past use, I would think the latrines at the Coloseum in Rome would be high on the chart but they are no longer in use (your going to get weird looks taking a dump in a dig site).

      Yeah I’ve seen it, turds past the height if the seat, and the top pile was white from the brown being washed out by people peeing on it. Worst portapotty I’ve ever seen
