A leading Second Life toilet manufacturer has admitted he has absolutely no idea why residents are buying toilets, but confirmed this will not prevent him making increasingly elaborate ones. A SECOND LIFE bathroom manufacturer has conceded that the fundamental purpose of a virtual toilet remains something of a mystery, given that avatars do not eat, digest food, possess functioning bowels or ever experience the sudden consequences of a questionable kebab. Despite this, residents continue to spend hundreds of Lindens installing toilets in their homes. “No, I don't understand the point either,” admitted bathroom designer Mason Kroll of Flush & Fabulous, while demonstrating his new 14-prim Milano Executive Smart Toilet with Bento Sitting Experience. “But while they're selling…” The latest model costs L$895 and includes six sitting animations, three lid positions, a toilet brush, animated flushing water and a toilet roll that cannot actually be removed from the holder. For an additional L$250 customers can purchase the Bathroom Realism Expansion Pack, featuring a small bin nobody empties, a towel inexplicably hanging over the radiator and an empty toilet roll tube balanced on top of a new one because apparently we're recreating that now as well. Kroll said demand for increasingly realistic toilets had surprised even him. “When I started, I just made a basic white toilet because I needed something to fill a corner in one of the bathroom sets, then someone messaged asking if the lid opened. “I thought, why? but I made the lid open. “Then someone wanted a flush. So I added a flush. Then somebody wanted an animation where their avatar sits on it comparing the prices of 2004 Ford Mondeos in the Auto Trader classifieds, and at that point I realised nobody involved in this process was going to ask the obvious fucking question.” Second Life resident Ღ Bella Pan-Lid Ღ defended her decision to spend L$1,700 on a luxury bathroom containing a toilet, shower and freestanding bath. “It makes the house feel more realistic,” she explained. Bella has never used any of them. Her avatar has also been wearing the same PBR latex dress continuously since February. The phenomenon has become increasingly difficult to explain as Second Life bathrooms grow more sophisticated. Several manufacturers now offer toilets featuring automatic lids, adjustable seats, flushing sounds, realistic water, poses for couples and HUD-controlled bathroom lighting. One premium model includes eleven separate toilet animations, raising questions about precisely what residents believe they should be doing once they get there. “I clicked one at a friend's house,” said resident Darren Flux. “My avatar sat down, leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees and stared thoughtfully at the floor. It was disturbingly convincing. At one point I actually felt like I should give him some privacy.” Researchers have pointed out that Second Life residents have collectively constructed an enormous sanitation infrastructure for a population which has never produced a single turd. Millions of virtual homes contain toilets. Entire shopping events have bathroom departments. People compare taps. People discuss whether a toilet is too modern for a particular steampunk house. Someone, somewhere, is currently adjusting the position of a toilet brush beside a toilet which nobody needs in a room nobody needs inside a house that does not physically exist. Kroll remains unconcerned. His next release, the Stockholm Scandinavian Bathroom Collection, will include a wall-mounted toilet, soft-close seat, animated cistern and a tasteful wicker basket containing three neatly rolled towels. He is also developing an interactive toilet roll dispenser after receiving seventeen customer requests. Asked once again what any of this was actually for, Kroll stared silently for several seconds. “Can I interest you in my new bidet collection? ” he eventually said. 0 [ Life on the Grid ](https://thesecondliar.co.uk/community) --- ## Navigation - Previous: [TECHNO DJ PLAYS SAME EIGHT BARS FOR ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES WITHOUT ANYBODY NOTICING](https://thesecondliar.co.uk/techno-dj-plays-same-eight-bars-for-one-hour-and-45-minutes-without-anybody-noticing.md) - Next: [People](https://thesecondliar.co.uk/people.md)
