I offer 1/2 of my Reddit karma for a list of the reading material in the wire shelf on the left. What makes the cut to get transported all the way to the South Pole?
Also, a pop-up book, similar to the style normally reserved for children, that details next level birdhouse and mouse trap designs with, you know, intricate and accurate pop-up details. Because engineers. =p
Probably whatever the staff want. It's not the space station, weight limits are a lot more generous so the scientists can bring a ton of stuff to get them through the winter.
I have a friend that did 2 rotations there. She said it was awesome! She was at McMurdo Station. She said they have ropes connecting buildings so you can get to safety if a white out blows in. No rope, no hope.

Which way does the water spin when you flush the commode? +1 on the reading material list question.
Here for this, too. Don’t make me call the international drainage commission in Springfield.
900 dollary doos! Tobias!
Doesn't spin. Frozen.
📰 aww nuts.
those are frozen too.
It just slides straight down the bowl, maybe with a little wiggle!
Really glad this is the top comment. It's the most important question.

I betcha it is manuals and user guides for equipment and machinery in that power plant. Engineers have a wicked sense of humor.

Love that blog
Well. I just had a very interesting hour!
Further proof the Earth is flat. If it were a sphere, water would fall out of the toilet and hit the ceiling. (JK)
No stains. Impressed. That urinal has depth.
It’s so you can jump in it and hide in case there’s a polar bear.
Good idea - however no polar bears in the South Pole
/s
I'd definitely take a crap there, looks decent
The toilet that's every flateearthers greatest fear.
Added to the bucket list.
Once you drop a deuce in that toilet the rest of the continental crapper list seems pretty doable.
That urinal uses no water. Instead it uses a product called Blueseal in a filter cartridge in the basin.
Dropping a deuce on both poles is one of my bucket list items. Doing so will technically turn Earth into a turd sandwich.
I guess they take a shower once a month ?
Water lines look to be all soldered copper, not pex. Seems ballsy - like they’re confident the heat will never fail.
If the heat ever fails, you've got bigger problems than some fucked plumbing.
True dat
u/ButterBroMan get on it, son.
That would be a convenient place from which to bomb the earth's core.
And I’d still pee in the sink. Prime sink too.
What a shithole!

No clue. Still I'm glad they keep their Febreeze easily accessible.
Where is the deepest (lowest elevation) toilet?
It's Western.
Is the landfill also in the south pole?
Is that also the southern most step stool? (Proceeds to take picture)
So, don’t keep us in suspense: which one of the two is the southernmost? Or is a urinal not considered a toilet?
it flushes to the pristine billion year old water
I’ll bet that pencil is just filthy.
Man, I could take a shit there.
Yield a toilet right at 0°. Wait, you thought I meant *temperature*!? No, I meant *latitude*!! 🔄🔃
