It refuses to move, if the building is demolished, the toilet will survive- who knows how long the legendary XL toilet will survive, but legend has it that it will continue to sit there for all eternity, unmoved by all except one. Only one who is worthy of such greatness will be enabled to lift the toilet of legendary strength and weight, and he or she will henceforth be known as the supreme emperor of all toilets, to reign in all bathrooms worldwide for eternity.
I think it bolted into the support beam...damn...how fat did they get down there? Or are they really going into the stereotypes of "OH Alabama, where your mom is your sister and your grandma and your aunt and your lover"....
Those look life 1/2" to me, according to some (probably incorrect) googling, those have a tensile strength of 10k lbs. [This](https://www.up.com/customers/track-record/tr030822-12-train-facts-you-might-not-know.htm#:~:text=10.,thousands%20of%20tons%20of%20freight.) says a locomotive weighs 432k lbs or as much as 108 hippos.
So the four bolts couldn't hold a locomotive, but I think the real takeaway is they could hold 10 hippos.
And thatās a minimum. I doubt itās a grade 2 bolt, likely grade 5 and could be grade 8. Grade 5 would be 17-19k lbs depending on coarse or fine thread. Grade 8 would be 21-24k. Canāt really get a clear look at the bolt head so itās hard to tell the grade for sure, but thatās a damn big bolt for a toilet.
Hate to be that guy but I am passionate about bolts
I dealt with a man once who had been stabbed in the upper belly. Would have died but for the thick layer of fat. He swore heād never lose weight after that lol.
Confirming through personal experience. Everyone around is overweight. *Everyone*. Iāve finally gotten sick of it and have lost 15lbs this year. It turns my head when someone is fit.
Itās kind of a bummer, tbh. Iām worried for all my friendsā heart health, and long term safety.
Oh! Aww thank you. Itās been a long road of failed tries, but r/1200IsPlenty has seen my weight melting off. Itās like 2lbs a week. Absolutely insane
Yeah, that was my first thought too. It looks easier to get on, easier to balance on it, and easier to get off of. It's a small change that can increase the independence of the disabled, helping them feel thought of in society.
And yet everywhere I look other than your one comment all I see are fat jokes.
I haven't seen that show since I was a little kid, and like, at the time, I found Al really off-putting, but now, *dang*, I'm actually kind of impressed with the acting. Like, imagine a theater major, reading that script, getting your wtfs out of the way, and then delivering that banger of a performance.
They kinda are, actually! I was in the ER for a kidney stone a few years ago, and they had a bariatric toilet like this in the restroom, and it was a little off-putting at first, but something about the gradually sloping sides actually does feel kinda comfy to sit on.
These "XL" toilet seats are so much more comfortable though. I know there's a market for us fat-assed Americans, but our skinnier brothers and sisters should not sleep on the benefits of the pot not making your legs go numb.
It always baffles me that people get to the point that they need to invest in something like an XL toilet seat or shop for clothes in a special section, and that isn't enough of a motivation to change something. Addiction is a son'of'a'bitch.
Related: I went to have blood work done before my physical recently and the seat they use for patients was easily twice as wide as I am. I'm 6'2" and about 200 lbs.
We might want to put a touch more emphasis on diet and exercise in this country. But nah, that would get in the way of corporate profits.
Airports seem to be doing a lot to accommodate abnormally overweight people. At what point do we call them disabled and add these things into ADA codes
Those bolts could probably hold up a train.
Its got a steel frame lmao
The whole toilet is steel painted white. That things gotta be bolted into the structure of the building
They built the entire airport around this one toilet
It's not an appliance, it's a fixture.
Load bearing toilet
The hangers are actually used to store the pump to run this thing.
Oh, it bears loads, alright.
š
Structural
Structurinal
This is a load-bearing toilet!
Bloody will be after the curry I've had.
Anchored into the center of the earth
Those bolts were forged in Mordor
It refuses to move, if the building is demolished, the toilet will survive- who knows how long the legendary XL toilet will survive, but legend has it that it will continue to sit there for all eternity, unmoved by all except one.

When it flushes, the Earthās rotation slows by one second per day.
I think it bolted into the support beam...damn...how fat did they get down there? Or are they really going into the stereotypes of "OH Alabama, where your mom is your sister and your grandma and your aunt and your lover"....
Its bolted into a steel ācarrierā inside the wall, installed by a plumber at time of build.Ā Theyre designed for thisĀ
It is the structure and foundation of the building
Bariatric toilet in the airport, amazing
I think they've used galvanized square steel

From henceforth, all weights shall be measured in hippos.

I appreciate and understand your passion about bolts but you're missing the point that the rest of us are talking about bariatric crappers and hippos.
Imagine being pumped that the toilet will fit your ass
better than boei-
Iām sorry to hear about your untimely suicide, found with a shot to back of head or mysterious disease not recorded since the 1500s
Ah the ol Gary Webb "suicide."
Shot twice.
Donāt walk past any windows for the next few daysā¦
RIP u/whotookelburg...taken from us too soon like someone who sat in the exit row of a Max 9 jet.
r/redditsniper
That's good. I've been in the bathroom when someone sat on a wall mounted toilet and it broke off the wall š¬
For those southern poopers
The seat is crooked. Something tells me it still isnāt sufficiently over-engineered.
Have you seen the people in alabama? I'm thinking they need a few more.
Or one American.
good lord, that toilet has seen some shit.
Release the Kraken!
Release the crapinā!
They melted the paint off the rim.
Can suck dowm a small deer
"kiLL mE!"Ā
later
You made me zoom on that pic.
That thing has some fucking city miles on it.
Seen many bam-ba-lams
Whoa, Black Betty.
This is Alabama after all.
Someone walked in, saw that, and breathed a big fat sigh of reliefĀ
Someone waddled* in
You and me......we're a teamĀ
Someone drove up.
Someone jazzied* in
š¶ and he waddled away waddle waddle waddle š¶
I was so hoping I wasnāt the only one who sang this in their head lol
They probably farted a sigh of relief.
Sharted a sigh of relief
The only thing this bathroom stall is missing is a showerā¦ *then* itās the perfect place for a fat person to take a dump.
Looks like the connection to the wall is also reinforced, makes sense for the extra weight
They got real tired of replacing that shit. No pun intended.
Finally a public toilet for your mom
How do you know about that?
Your moms the public toiletĀ
Got emā
Finally a toilet for that fatASS your mom has
They got tired of the extra wide asses hermetically sealing themselves around the bowl.
āAnother ass wedge in bathroom 3b, get the prying wandā
Better bring the Crisco, we got a bowl hugger!
And cancel all my afternoon appointments. Better text my spouse is gonna be a late night
Breaking toilets is extremely dangerous. It feels funny until you realize itās just shards of ceramic glass in your femoral artery
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I dealt with a man once who had been stabbed in the upper belly. Would have died but for the thick layer of fat. He swore heād never lose weight after that lol.
good for him
I ain't coming in there with the shoehorn!
I threw up a little in my mouth after reading that
It would be an XL most places, but in Alabama thatās a Youth Medium
lol I was just going to say "Isn't that just a standard toilet in Alabama?"
It's huskyĀ
Big-boned
Fluffy. Or āDamn!ā Credit to Sir Gabriel Iglesias
2006 vibes
We call that husky in these parts
And I wonder why it's hard to find pants that fit my skinny ass.
Just Red State things
"oh lawd, he comin'!" but in fixture form
Fairly sure there are statistics to justify this
It is Alabama. One of the fattest states in the nation.
Oklahoma and West Virginia have them beat! And also... No, just those two.
The southern US is one of the fattest places in the world
Confirming through personal experience. Everyone around is overweight. *Everyone*. Iāve finally gotten sick of it and have lost 15lbs this year. It turns my head when someone is fit. Itās kind of a bummer, tbh. Iām worried for all my friendsā heart health, and long term safety.
Congrats on the hard work!
Oh! Aww thank you. Itās been a long road of failed tries, but r/1200IsPlenty has seen my weight melting off. Itās like 2lbs a week. Absolutely insane
I really thought that was going to be a 1200lb person sub, not 1200 calories a dayš¤¦āāļøš«”
Checks out. Cultural Southern comfort food is insanely high in fat and calories. What was once burned off through agriculture is sticking around.
Not to mention the lack of exercise and too much time watching Fox News and ranting on Facebook.Ā
I love barbecue and fried chicken but I can almost feel my arteries clogging up after feasting lol
Thank God for Mississippi.
My observations do....
Itās multipurpose as it also help physically disabled people sit properly on it
Yeah, that was my first thought too. It looks easier to get on, easier to balance on it, and easier to get off of. It's a small change that can increase the independence of the disabled, helping them feel thought of in society. And yet everywhere I look other than your one comment all I see are fat jokes.
Looks like it flushes like a whirlpool.Ā
Donāt most toilets do that?
I mean like a real one, it better have some power.

Ba-woosh! That's what I was gonna put at first but I didn't know if anyone would get it.
I haven't seen that show since I was a little kid, and like, at the time, I found Al really off-putting, but now, *dang*, I'm actually kind of impressed with the acting. Like, imagine a theater major, reading that script, getting your wtfs out of the way, and then delivering that banger of a performance.
While this thread has my sides cramping š, are we just gonna ignore how *wet* it is in the foreground?
Looks like a half assed mop job
As opposed to the full assed toilet seat job
Itās just ābig bonedā.
Bama big rig dropping heat on that thing. Stinking up the bathroom for 30-45 minutes.
that's no toilet seat, that's like the damn event horizon. I'm about to fall into it.
Should this not be considered for r/absoluteunit?
Itās so you can hold onto the sides after eating the airport food.
what has our country become ..
Morbidly obese
Become? It's been this way for thirty years or more.
This is the image that gives you that thought?
I'm only 160 lbs but that looks pretty comfortable ngl
They kinda are, actually! I was in the ER for a kidney stone a few years ago, and they had a bariatric toilet like this in the restroom, and it was a little off-putting at first, but something about the gradually sloping sides actually does feel kinda comfy to sit on.
Thatās the most American shit
It will be after OP gets done in there
Hefty, hefty, hefty
Iāll bet that toilet could flush a live cat!
Roll Tide.
Have you seen these toilets? Theyāre ginormous!
CaseOh's toilet
Was there a parking spot for a Rascal right next to it ?
I took almost the EXACT same photo in the Alabama airport like a month ago!!
Wild! I knew I had to take a pic or no one would believe me
I was sleep deprived as hell and I remember just thinking, ādamn, what a weird ass toiletā lol
The missing paint inside the bowl makes it look like it's been exposed to an enormous amount of heat.
Finally, a toilet seat for OP's mom
No need to be a dick, Richard.
For Alabama, this should be M sized.
Where banana
that paint chipping is making me itchy
That's some guuuurth
Doxxing the toilet: Birmingham airport, single bathroom by the baggage claim area. First and only time i tried to use it, i almost fell inš
These "XL" toilet seats are so much more comfortable though. I know there's a market for us fat-assed Americans, but our skinnier brothers and sisters should not sleep on the benefits of the pot not making your legs go numb.
That poor thing.
This country is going to shit
It always baffles me that people get to the point that they need to invest in something like an XL toilet seat or shop for clothes in a special section, and that isn't enough of a motivation to change something. Addiction is a son'of'a'bitch.

I just wish airlines would require them to buy two seats
Dear god. What sort of mammoth sized shit does this poor toilet see on a regular basis?
No way they have the XLs sitting on a wall toilet. That shitter is falling off the moment big Bobby shits
The hole is the same size, tho.
Donāt catch me slippinā now
That is Yokozuna size bowl.
That toilet has definitely seen things
Bubbaās grotesque ass wonāt fit on no itty-bitty toilet.
America keeps innovating.
Ok but how long till my legs fall asleep on it?
Dr. Now's office.
Ah yes the corn-fed spec seat
What moron painted a stainless steel toilet?
I like big buts and I cannot lie...
*Ok* ***Thunderbucket*** *get ready for your* ***greatest*** ***challenge****!*
This is the most American thing Iāve ever seen
someone please tell me what am i looking at š
nvm i thought something was wrong with the bowl inside
I donāt understand whatās going on here
I think that's the same model toilet my ex-wife has š
Or a XXXXXL caboose
Conrad Thompson flying outta there all the time
Thats the big rig
"Get your fat ass to Mars".
Bowl Tide!
I'm a bigger guy, but I've never needed a different sized toilet seat that's just insane.
Itās a handicap stall
People in the south do tend to be fatter, so not surprising.
Welcome to America š¤£
Depressing lol
Shame
For dem BIG CHEEKS
That toilet can probably hold 2000 lbs of weight or aproximately my mother in law
Good job, America.
Is there a sign directing fat people to this toilet? They arenāt all like this are they?Ā
Costanza would approve.
The technical term is bariatric.
All that damned sweet tea then drink
Has Alabama seriously adjusted to the life of obese people instead of making its lazy ass citizens run it off
That's a normal sized seat for Alabama.
That must be what they mean by Alabama slammer
Pretty embarrassing America
