Title: Space Toiletries
Post by: Anyanka Funk on 09 Nov 2014, 12:51
I'm guessing capsuleers can go in their pods but what about when they are out of their pod? Wood is an extravagance in space. I assume they would use a bidet or something similar. Maybe their toilets are inside their showers? Been skimming through the books and wiki and can't seem to find anything. I just hope the only solution is not "Get a fedo". That would just be repulsive to think about. Is there any mention of toiletries in EVE prime fiction?

Why use natural fibers? There are countless ways to make synthetic fibers of various kinds today, and making various infinitely more useful cleaning products that dissolve in water should be piece of cake for people with this level of technology.

Sounds legit. Was just wondering if there is any mention of any toiletry anywhere in prime fiction. There are countless ways to go. Just wondering if there is a certain thing to use in New Eden.

Maybe there's the reason why "the stations atmosphere is not decontaminated for capsuleer consumption."

for a more serious reply, isn't there a trade good for either toiletries or something to that effect? I could be wrong.

Butt nanites.

A light aerosol mist of cleaning nanites sprays your balloon knot after you go, and you feel a cool freshening 'tingle' as they work their magic.

Maybe they even have advertisements for different butt sprays, in all the extravagant and ridiculous "awesome" special effects of a Five Gum commercial.

"FreshX Sanitary Sprays®. Strong enough to to scrub, gentle enough to leave a mild blush on your cheeks. For only the most discerning and daring of private moments."

Side effects may include removal of pores, sensory implantation, anal leakage, colon fuzzies, and the demeanor of a Provist.

Balloon knot (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=balloon%20knot): a tight butt hole that hasn't recently seen any form of penetration, thus giving the illusion of the knot of a balloon

Zero gravity toilet actually sounds like a good answer too. Thanks Jandice!

Edit: Even though Liquid Ozone (https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Liquid_Ozone) is great as a cleaning and disinfectant substance, it should not be used on skin!

Don't know of any sort of prevalence of zero-g environments in Eve, actually. We seem to have artificial gravity locked down, so any work or living space for capsuleers shouldn't require any zero-g amenities. Zero-G environments in Eve is quite probably limited to areas where you're moving high volume/mass items (docks, transport, some manufacturing locations etc etc) with normal gravity functions wherever you're likely to require hygiene facilities.

Scented pod goo.

Because one spends days in there and the after-pod is important too...

Don't forget the zero-g sex chambers a la Tony G.

In the far future, genetic engineering will probably have removed the need for humans to poop.

Genetic engineering is a sin for Amarr. We must do it the natural way, as God intended.

How about we don't shit on a mildly amusing thread, however niche the subject is? It's not exactly a subject covered in PF.

Behave, people.

Relax Miz, I don't think anyone means it seriously. This thread stopped being serious somewhere around the mentioning of balloons.

Well, I did see something about how astronauts lived aboard the space shuttle, and in space centres, when I was in the museum of Ottawa.

The toilet they had, was just a plastic bag being sucked down through a hoop. There was vacuum suction into the hole. The astronauts 'did their duty' in the bag, which was saved and ejected upon reentry into orbit.

How did they wipe themselves? Bidet.

There was one mission, I think it was one of the Apollo missions. They had to abort it because their toilet backed up. The astronauts were covered in their own feces and urine, and were forced to abort.

How they slept was interesting. There was sort of a bag or a tube they crawled into that just kind of locked their bodies into position. Apparently everyone has the same dream the first time they sleep weightless. They are armless, legless embryos floating helplessly in a womb.

Also, feces? Fedo, he eats everything!

I would think the solution would be simple, it's already done today even. You can get toilets that jet stream water at the push of a button while you're sitting down. Effectively replacing toilet paper and requiring less manual labor.
