I stumbled across this random fact today—apparently, ancient Romans had these elaborate drainage setups in their bathhouses, complete with heated floors and everything. Like, they were seriously ahead of their time. Got me thinking about how much we take modern plumbing for granted. I mean, most of us don't even think twice about where the water goes after a shower or flush, you know? Curious if anyone else has come across other cool or quirky drainage setups from history or even modern times...
Speaking of quirky setups, ever heard of earthship homes? They're these eco-friendly houses built from recycled materials like tires and bottles—anyway, their bathrooms often use greywater systems. Basically, your shower water gets filtered through indoor planter beds before watering plants outside. Pretty genius, right? Makes modern plumbing seem kinda boring...
Yeah, earthships are pretty clever, but honestly, greywater setups can get tricky if they're not maintained right—seen a few go sideways. Ever looked into composting toilets? They're another quirky option, though definitely not everyone's cup of tea...
