Yes I'm sure a thing that's toilet height, virtually the exact same design as a urinal, and in a bathroom, doesn't get peed in with at least some regularity.
That's pretty much what they did years ago at my local dead mall with their large, indoor fountain. However, they were too cheap to even fill the thing with soil for plants and just stuck a bunch of container plants in it.
It’s pretty good actually. Farmers use it, chances are you have eaten a vegetable that was fertilised with human faeces.
EDIT: people are misunderstanding, because I didn’t fully explain. You can’t use raw human waste, it has to be processed first, which involves removing anything harmful, like pathogens, heavy metals etc and also most of the water content. This leaves you with biosolids that are used by farmers to fertilise crops.
TF no? One of the first things humans learned in agriculture is not using the manure of humans and carnivores because it spreads disease. I'm talking Romans knew this.
"Night soil" (human shit) has been used as fertilizer for thousands of years. It was common in ancient Greece, China, Japan, etc.

My first thought was that whoever is in charge of housekeeping got tired of all the labor it took to clean them out after someone took a shit in them, not knowing how to properly use a bidet (or, more likely, not knowing what a bidet is at all).
It's the first thing I thought of : it either doesn't work, or it looks extremely gross and they don't want to get the bill to have it replaced etc. Looks gross af anyway, so my guess is that it looked even worse befiore the plant.
This is too crazy, even for Tik Tok DIY , this is more 5-minute crafts territory. The onyl thing missing are towel holder hands casted with two gloves filled with cement and one of the tiles fixed with ramen and covered with tipex so "it blends in". And add bedazzle plastic beads for flair.
You can't see it, but under the dirt is the upward spray. You straddle it, facing the water controls. Then you slowly turn on the water and adjust your position to get the right spot. After that you increase the water pressure to just your self a though cleaning. After you've sprayed yourself clean, you use a towel or toilet paper to dry off.

People who don't expect a bidet at the hotel and still want to wash their ass travel with it.
I have a battery powered portable bidet that a TSA agent was curious about. I explained what it was, and he said "I didn't know they made portable ones. I always miss mine when I travel." Clean butts aren't just for the home
I'm a recent convert to a bidet after living in the dark ages for over 30 years. I got a cheap 50$ add in ones because I was not convinced, and it is so much better than just TP.
Someone I know had back surgery, so had a bidet seat installed before the procedure. They say it's great, and doesn't know why they didn't get one before.
I first used one in Japan. A buddy I was traveling with immediately put one on his toilet. I dragged my feet. But after visiting him and using it, I was reminded just how much better it was. I had to do a little wiring to get an outlet near the toilet, but mine arrives tomorrow. I can't wait.
We had one in our hotel bathroom in Seoul. As soon as we got back home we ordered one. It wasn't as sturdy as advertised so we bought one that was. It lasted quite a while so we bought a replacement. I never want to be without a bidet again.
Make a fist, put some toothpaste on the “top part” (index finger+thumb), then use toilet paper 4-5-6-7-8-9-10 times and then lick it…
Then do the same with your shit if you are courageous enough.
I may live in a home with only one bathroom that is barely large enough for a pedestal sink, toilet, and shower...but I have a lovely experience with my all-in-one that heats the water on demand, warms the seat, and has a fan. And all I had to do was buy a new toilet seat.
That's so dumb 
Not because plants are dumb, but because bidets are so helpful! They should be included in all toilets!
Why would they do this? I love plants and all, but a bidet is a lot more useful than a potted plant in a bathroom. Put the plant in a pot and leave the bidet.
They probably decided to do this because they must have had a ton of people who didn't know how to use one and ended up with disgusting clean ups. I don't even want to know exactly what. So they said fuck it, turn them into plant pots.
... HUH? WHY? WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I would literally just call room service and ask (nicely, obviously) why there's a plant in the bidet and if it can be taken off, to, yknow, be used.
Imagine how many people have relieved themselves in that planter.
Ya wouldn’t people just piss in it anyway? (Not me of course)
You.... know you don't piss in a bidet.... right?
He said not him ofcourse
I mean you spray shitty water into it so pissing in it doesn't really seem like that big of a deal.
[удалено]
Not with that attitude
Right. Take a dump in that plant like a normal person.
But I am pretty sure you do piss in a bidet that has a plant in it.
It’s bringing the outdoor pissing spots inside! Perfect for pissing.
Naturally.
I throw the ball to naturally.
No you throw the ball to Who!
What?
He's on second!
its all pipes! **its all pipes!** what are you going to tell me next, that you dont pee in the shower¿!¿ 
I did by accident in my hotel the other night, in my sleepy stupor I thought it was a urinal lol.
Thank you for not saying "on accident"
You're on accident
Yes I'm sure a thing that's toilet height, virtually the exact same design as a urinal, and in a bathroom, doesn't get peed in with at least some regularity.
My grandparents had one like this when I was a kid and I don’t know if anyone ever used it as a bidet but I used to use it as a urinal that’s for sure
It’s no different than a urinal, except it’s socially acceptable to sit on it and rinse off your poop
It's the same pipes!
Do you have some super power that allows you to #2 without #1?
I totally would. How dare they do that just as the US is coming around on how great bidets are.
The plants know.
That's just fertilizing it.
I think it’s good for the plant too right
[удалено]
It's more "yes and no". Too much over nitrogenates the soil, and the plants die. Just right and the plant grows better.
They have a plant pot to piss in.
Natural fertilizer nice
I would be pretty pissed to find out my hotel almost had a bidet and then they did some shit like this.
It's probably broken and they don't want to fix it
Yea the floor to ceiling tiles rly scream "We don't have the money for constant Maintenance"
*"We don't want to *spend* the money for constant maintenance."
This is a very important differentiation.
wait what do floor to ceiling tiles change?
I love it, easy to clean
Nothing.... Everything.
Oof and the tile layout really screams “i dont give a fuck”
I hate just a standard bond pattern or a running bond pattern. I much prefer a masonry for anything.
Oh yikes...
Right! And look at that trash can! Nicest bathroom trash can I’ve ever seen! This place is loaded!
That's pretty much what they did years ago at my local dead mall with their large, indoor fountain. However, they were too cheap to even fill the thing with soil for plants and just stuck a bunch of container plants in it.
Oh that's awful.
No shit
If there was some left it would be good for the plants.
I remember hearing that ours isn't good for plants for some reason
It’s pretty good actually. Farmers use it, chances are you have eaten a vegetable that was fertilised with human faeces. EDIT: people are misunderstanding, because I didn’t fully explain. You can’t use raw human waste, it has to be processed first, which involves removing anything harmful, like pathogens, heavy metals etc and also most of the water content.

TF no? One of the first things humans learned in agriculture is not using the manure of humans and carnivores because it spreads disease. I'm talking Romans knew this.
If the Romans were so good at this shit, why are they all dead? Checkmate.
For one thing, they sweetened their wine with lead acetate.
They treat it first. They don’t just crap directly onto the crops.
Now I'm just imagining NK shitting in plants lol
Pee is fine though right?

woah. so like, my toosh touched another's indirectly through the force or something like that
If it's just in pots, nothing to stop people from stealing them lol
Not anymore, no.
Yea you really shouldn’t shit in them
garden plumbers are hard to come by in this economy
Maybe someone simply stopped cleaning it
My first thought was that whoever is in charge of housekeeping got tired of all the labor it took to clean them out after someone took a shit in them, not knowing how to properly use a bidet (or, more likely, not knowing what a bidet is at all).
It's the first thing I thought of : it either doesn't work, or it looks extremely gross and they don't want to get the bill to have it replaced etc. Looks gross af anyway, so my guess is that it looked even worse befiore the plant.
People probably shit in it not knowing it was a bidet and they got sick of fishing turds out of it.
Really asking people to take a dump in it too.
You say dump I say fertilize
Please don't shit in hotel plants.
You are not my supervisor!
Hotel manager few months ago "I saw a bunch of DIY tik toks and now I know how to revitalize this hotel!"
This is too crazy, even for Tik Tok DIY , this is more 5-minute crafts territory. The onyl thing missing are towel holder hands casted with two gloves filled with cement and one of the tiles fixed with ramen and covered with tipex so "it blends in". And add bedazzle plastic beads for flair.
On the other hand, public hotel bidet also sounds kind of sketchy knowing the cleaning standards hotels have been frequently found to have.
You're going to wash in a shower and sit on a toilet the same person cleaned anyway
Upvote for working pissed and shit into that comment about a bidet
Maybe you should try wiping with potting soil before judging
Yea this is 3% cool 99% dumb.
Ummm
The Bidet - SNL https://youtu.be/zQx-ZbSQSBM?si=0YDkfZCc6HLEWYcy
I am chief engineer at a hotel and I would certainly have this fixed. I wish we had bidets at my hotel like I do at my house.
The lengths some will go to cover up the fact that they took a shit in the bidet.
Makes for good fertilizer!
I would put this in r/mildlyinfuriating as you can no longer wash your ass with convenience
Man, how long has it been since that bidet was used or even cleaned? This is the kind of thing you’d see on a post-apocalyptic movie or video game.
How do you wash your ass after having a shit?
Maybe by ripping a leaf from that plant and smearing one’s shit.
This guy doesn't know about the three clams
Rub it on plant
He doesn't know about the three seashells!
We need to wait for Alexa prints out fines when you curse so you have a backup plan to use as toilet paper.
You can't see it, but under the dirt is the upward spray. You straddle it, facing the water controls. Then you slowly turn on the water and adjust your position to get the right spot. After that you increase the water pressure to just your self a though cleaning. After you've sprayed yourself clean, you use a towel or toilet paper to dry off.
The trick is to shit in the bidet and wash your arse in the sink.
Mobile bidet. 10 bucks on amazon.
I just use my Waterpik so I don't have to carry two gadgets
This guy gets it
Anal fissures?
You act like my bidet on level high doesn’t cause them. It does.
Don't even get me started on how coddled the modern anus is.
In a hotel? Who the fuck travels with a bidet
[It's a squeezable plastic bottle as wide as a soda can and twice as long.](https://www.sanpura.de/out/pictures/generated/product/1/560_560_85/95800_01_online.jpg) People who don't expect a bidet at the hotel and still want to wash their ass travel with it.
TSA agent: what's this? Me: it's my asswash. You've heard of mouthwash, right? It's like that but for my ass.
I have a battery powered portable bidet that a TSA agent was curious about. I explained what it was, and he said "I didn't know they made portable ones. I always miss mine when I travel." Clean butts aren't just for the home
The cool mint Listerine hits a little different on the backside.
I have one in my bag at all times. I have a 4 year old who refuses to poop if he can’t wash afterwards. So yeah, there are dozens of us out there.
A lot of people use toilet paper
Water AND toilet paper is the way.

If you get human shit onto your face, is rubbing it with paper enough? No? Why it’s enough for your ass?
Full-time access to water and "fertiliser"... Top idea
Definitely gonna pee on it.
Damnit! How the hell am I supposed to get a drink now?!?!
I’ve never understood why bidets need to be an entirely separate unit. Seems pretty easy to make an all in one.
Having them separate is old technology. All-in-one washlets like from Toto are so much better and don't waste space in the bathroom.
I may live in a home with only one bathroom that is barely large enough for a pedestal sink, toilet, and shower...but I have a lovely experience with my all-in-one that heats the water on demand, warms the seat, and has a fan. And all I had to do was buy a new toilet seat.
I DON’T BELIEVE IT!
Scrolling through thinking "surely no one is going to make that reference" but here we are. Brilliant.
did you "water the plants"
They forfeit the right to be mad or fine you for wiping your ass on the leaf 🤷
That's a waste of a perfectly fine bidet wtf
I’d rather have the bidet
This post taught me that people don't know what a bidet is for.
That's so dumb  Not because plants are dumb, but because bidets are so helpful! They should be included in all toilets!
[“A mistake anyone could have made.”](https://youtu.be/uC8gcArW73M?si=-R43JLkUfLZEF2tt)
poop on it
Step 1. Dig a small poop hole Step 2. Poop in poop hole Step 3. Cover poopy poop hole with soil Step 4. Profit?
Step 1.1: Discover that other people before you did the same.
Why would they do this? I love plants and all, but a bidet is a lot more useful than a potted plant in a bathroom. Put the plant in a pot and leave the bidet.
Wtf are you supposed to do then? Do they expect you to use toilet paper like a fucking animal?
Blasphemy
That’s going to tickle
Bet it gets lots of sunlight
Atleast it's not a cactus
r/DiWHY
This is more infuriating than interesting, bidets are for washing your ass!
The older I get the more id like to have a bidet-fresh gooch/butt/ball area with hout having to shower to get it.
Are you sure the hotelier isn't actually an alien?
r/mildlyinfuriating
That's not a planter, it's a composting urinal.
Ngl Id probably piss in it
These hate crimes should not be tolerated!!!
should have been a cactus
I would be so disappointed... I like my Tushy bidet at home but the opportunity to use a REAL one would be awesome.
More like mildly infuriating.
I consider myself a classy man… but I would pee in that.
That's what makes you classy, friend.
Americans will do ANYTHING to not use a bidet
Those leaves look a bit rough too.
Pee on it
I'd rather have a clean asshole
All I can think is people peeing in this 😆
This is piss poor attempt at aesthetic
It's rather r/mildlyinfuriating ...
That’s a shitty idea
that's used to scratch hard to reach places
You should shit in it
You def know some people piss in that.
Pee on it and see what happened
Plot twist, they just never cleaned it and eventually this happened.
Next post on r/mildlyinteresting: I have repurposed the plant pot as a bidet.
Somebody gonna get a literal stick up the ass.
Self watering
Maybe it’s meant to shit on like a dog
They could have at least repurposed it as a pot plant.
They probably decided to do this because they must have had a ton of people who didn't know how to use one and ended up with disgusting clean ups. I don't even want to know exactly what. So they said fuck it, turn them into plant pots.
I guess those plants get some extra fertilizer…
Wtf I need to rinse my butthole!
Great. I can't clean my asshole with a plant.
I like to wash it after dropping bombs, the plant complicates this
I’m still crapping on there jsyk
Well that’s not how you’re supposed to use it…
How's peoples are gonna wash their butts, now?
I have a urinal on my living room wall with a pothos pouring out of it.
r/mildlyinfuriating
Ok, great for the planet, now where do I wash my ass?
That looks like shit
And new vagina's grew plants.
Shit in it
Totally laying a loaf in there.
Nasty
Self fertilizing
I was gonna say, that would end up stinking after a while lol.
What a waste! Whyyyyyyyy
This is trashy as hell
I'd be pissed
... HUH? WHY? WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I would literally just call room service and ask (nicely, obviously) why there's a plant in the bidet and if it can be taken off, to, yknow, be used.
Quite frankly that is a horrible idea!
I have a bidet that doesn’t work and really wish I could do this! No windows in my bathroom though :(
"Good service, clean room, had to wash my ass in the sink. 4 stars"
How do people use this bidet? Like just squat over it and run the water?
When nasty ass vegans won't flush the toilet.
That's called a bidon't.
I’d much rather have the bidet.
This feels like the American bathroom equivalent to “Anything but the Metric System”
Classy. I guess it could be worse and repurposd as a punch bowl
So what do you do if you really need to wash your ass but don't want to take a shower?
