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

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.

The ones that started in the shower?

Flux capacitor was thought of on the toilet I believe.

[-] some_guy 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] WinterAir@lemmings.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, toilet-assisted is the proper term

[-] grayman@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

Why the "/s"? You're right
