Unless you have a heated toilet seat like those Japanese toilets.

I got a nice bidet from covid times, dunno that I'll ever go back now

There is a subtle difference between an artificial heat that you can control and a heat that you know was produced by another human being. I think it's our subconscious trying to keep us safe from germs and diseases - same mechanism by which rotten food look and smell is uncomfortable.

I've always liked a cold fresh seat.

Surely I'm not the only one?

Like the cold side of a pillow?

Not when it drops below freezing in the shitter

I'm going to build a toilet seat for public bathrooms. An evil one.

First, let's add a heating element to the toilet seat. And wire it without an off switch. This seat will always be warm. Then let's add a series of water channels in the toilet seat. These will exit through micropores that are calibrated so perfectly as to create a continuous and subtle feeling of dampness. It's not just a warm toilet seat. It's a warm moist toilet seat. No matter how much you wipe the seat off. Warm and moist. No matter how long you sit on it. Warm and moist. No matter what you do, warm and moist! The perpetual feeling of accidentally sitting in a pool of warm urine.

Coming soon...to a public restroom near you!

I have to say, that's pretty evil in a prank way.

Who put your toilet seat in the dishwasher to give you such thirst for vengeance?

In Douglas Adams’ spoof dictionary The Meaning of Liff the term "Shoeburyness" is defined as "the vague uncomfortable feeling you get when sitting on a seat that is still warm from somebody else's bottom."

I like a warm seat, it's comforting. Someone else went through hell and continued about their day.

As someone who has a bidet with a seat warmer… the mentally uncomfortable aspect fades quickly, and you really come to appreciate a warm tush on a winter’s day

Yiaaaah!

I miss the days where that was enough to destroy a political career.

[–] Bonus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that was sweet.
