    Japan unveils "poop-powered" motorbike

    http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/asia...ered-motorbike

    "Japan's best-known toilet maker on Wednesday unveiled a "poop-powered" motorcycle that can travel as far as 300 kilometres (180 miles) on a tank filled with animal waste.

    Billed as the world's first waste-powered vehicle, the three-wheeler has a toilet in place of a regular seat and huge paper roll at the back.

    But as a young female model climbed aboard for a test drive Wednesday, toilet giant TOTO was quick to point out that she would not supply the "gas".

    "The biogas it uses as fuel is not made from human waste. It's made from livestock waste and sewage," Kenji Fujita, a company spokesman, told reporters in a Tokyo suburb.

    "We hope to raise awareness among customers about our green campaign through development of environmentally-friendly products such as water-saving showerheads and water-saving toilets," Fujita added.

    The company -- which makes toilets equipped with an array of features including heated seats, water jets with pressure and temperature controls, and ambient background music -- has no plans to commercialise the motorcycle."

    Do you have the class trinket? If so, the cast time is correct. /s

    The poll is a loaded question. Of course I'd want to use my own poop.

    Always wondered what the solution for this would be, thanks to the japanese we now know

    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    The Chinese are using the Facekini to try and become pale, and the Japanese invented a Poop Powered Bike, what is next?

    Because of how socially awkward that would be to ride it, no I wouldn't ride it. I can just imagine the looks people would give me when I'm rolling down the street sitting on a toilet seat, plus it would be a shitty mess if you accidentally crashed on it.

    Same basic process that powers most waste water plants. Interesting they put it on a motor bike.

    They dont use it to BECOME pale, they use it to stay primarily wrinkle free and STAYING pale is just a welcomed bonus according to many of theirs ideals.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact.

    It's stuff like this that make me love Japan so much.
    - "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black" - Jo Bodin, BLM supporter
    - "I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun. The kids used to come up and reach in the pool & rub my leg down so it was straight & watch the hair come back up again. So I learned about roaches, I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I love kids jumping on my lap...” - Pedo Joe
