Enlightening Thread Reveals The Legend Of The Pittsburgh Toilet

Comfort is never more important than when you're taking a dump. We're in a vulnerable position when nature calls, so it's essential to be able to relax a little. 

Apparently, though, this isn't a philosophy that the residents of Pittsburgh subscribe to. The Wikipedia-documented phenomenon of the Pittsburgh Toilet has been making waves recently, with many people owning up to having one in their basements. 

The phenomenon came about when workmen needed to use the bathroom, but had to avoid dirtying the family home upstairs. Now, it's a bizarrely fascinating Twitter thread in which people are making puns about unsettling pooping experiences. As they always say, truth is stranger than fiction.
