Lesser Known Inconveniences of Being Giant/Tiny
-
I’m no plumber, but I have installed a toilet before and was surprised by how doable it is, and we’ve also added a junction to the input line pretty easily. That means the same plumbing could fill a second mini tank, which could be attached to the mini toilet that could sit on top of big toilet tank, and then there could be a tube that links the waste down to the main bowl…
Yeah this is probably more trouble than it’s worth but I feel like there’s a chance that it could work
-
LMAO, I love you guys…
I never thought I’d get an in-depth discussion, analysis and even an installation guide on tinies toilets, and other related challenges. -
@foreverlurk We can’t help thinking about all these contingencies. We’re in this for the long haul.

@foreverlurk Chronic overthinker, thaaaaat’s me!

Meanwhile, I’ve also thought about how really small tinies, women so small that the surface tension is a factor, would drink.
Honestly, I’m leaning towards the idea of no really being able to ‘drink’ it, and it being more of getting needed moisture from their food…
Which brings up the fact that, at that size, they probably couldn’t eat a lot of food; too big, too tough. Honestly, outside of artificial things, smoothies, pastes and what not, I’d think they’d be forced to eat only fruit, and only certain fruits, at that: the berries and the like, the really soft ones, or something someone else opened for them. I doubt they could even get through an apple’s skin.

I’ve never felt more known.

Really, I get hung up on little details way too much, it gets in the way of me even trying to write, because then I’m like, “But how does this work???” and focusing on a ‘realistic’ setup for somethign blatently unrealistic.
I am the same way. I dwell too much on the details and fail to make a single cohesive story, and at some point give up on writing anything at all!
I mean, I had fun imagining it, but I want to share content too!

It’s just so easy to spiral on it! I think, ‘Oh, I like this idea, and I want it in the story’, but then it’s like… why is that there? What caused it? How would that work on a biological/societal level? What are the repercussions of this change and it’s like-
I just want to write about a giant hugging a woman shaped robot piloted by his normal sized girlfriend so they can still have physical contact even if it’s really hard for them normally, is that so hard?! I don’t want to wholesale make up a setting-wide backstory to explain it!

@SmolChlo For some reason your post reminded me of the character in the Tinkerbell movies whose glasses are giant water drops.

I mean… I do love this idea and would totally read any backstory for it sooo…

For SW logic, I sum up the science with a famous quote…
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

@littlest-lily I also think about those portable washing machines or countertop dishwashers that hook up directly to the sink. Probably not a great idea for the toilet, but a shower? Again, may be more trouble than it’s worth.

@i-am-insane Surface tension of water is easily breakable though, it gathers water together but doesn’t affect the flow. Like lookit this ant goooo! https://youtube.com/shorts/wNJSQwYp2y0?si=Q-m69FgO7TuwPZSv
But I agree that food feels like it would be more of a challenge. I started working on a micro story and tried to brainstorm some food options at the time. Things like chicken broth and pudding and applesauce yuuunmmm

@blehb Ohh I like how you think though! There could be something there. I imagine tinies would mostly take baths but a shower would be so nice.

@giantmaneddie I can accept magic, shrink rays, mythological creatures, giant mechs, etc. but I demand an explanation about these very mundane details!

@littlest-lily Get one of those bubbling foot spas and make yourself a nice hot tub. Until someone decides to soak their feet in it too.
Also, if you love the crafting/clothing/creative side of size content, you might enjoy this video as much as I did. I follow this girl on youtube so I was super excited when she posted a Borrower clothing tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGsRsOoLPyU
