What great ideas didn’t begin as a thought on the toilet? /s

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

The ones that started in the shower?

Supposedly Newton's idea of gravity but that story with the apple could just be a cover-up.

I mean. Maybe that's why he was squatting under the tree?

Well it was all downhill after that, so not sure it was great you know!

Well depends on how you define toilet. The flushing toilet was invented after issac newtons life so it definitely wasnt on what what would currently be considered a toilet.

Flux capacitor was thought of on the toilet I believe.

I think it was thought of after falling off a toilet, so toilet-assisted?

[-] WinterAir@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, toilet-assisted is the proper term

It's a little known fact that Newton was pooping under that apple tree when the apple fell on his head.
