This time, and sadly not for the first time, it is China’s toilets which have been exploding, threatening users with an unpleasant variety of horrible injuries and an ungodly mess.
According to local media reports, a beauty parlour in China’s Shandong province was struck by a series of at least 3 explosions when a member of staff tossed an only partially extinguished cigarette into a toilet at the establishment.
The toilets, which like many in China were of a simple pit construction requiring regular pumping out, promptly exploded.
The explosion is thought to have been caused by gases which had accumulated in the toilet igniting, although a gas leak has also been blamed. Authorities have yet to release an official explanation.

Looks like they're shitting into a crematory furnace.
Look at the shape. It's a tunnel to the Underworld.
What're you talking about? That's OBVIOUSLY a cooking oil vat.
You were obviously forgetting this is China we're talking about.
It is called PWC - Pottyantós WC aka Free-fall WC :)
Pottyantós is not a WC, it's simply pottyantós as it lacks the water cleaning (WC) part. But silly Hungarians still call it WC as they call every animated show mese (child's tale) and thinks Japanese makes sick cartoons for their kids like Dragonball, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc.
Amúgy jó látni, hogy magyarok is vannak itt.
That's not what a shitter is supposed to do, China.
It's a shit pit, that is what they do.
Instead of tossing out the shit they just burn it. Explains the explosion.
This article reminds me that I need to clean my toilet.
I guess that's why some shit on the train.
this time it kinda makes sense at least, feces produce flammable methane gas :D
The crapper in the pic is absolutely terrifying.
Its an indoor outhouse, you should be terrified.
you can probably catch aids from that thing
...if you fall in.
You can probably get pregnant from going in, even if you have balls between your legs.
Ninjas could be hiding inside to spear/kill you well that one of the ways to assassinate people back then. Perfect throwback of the past!
It looks like it came right out of Silent Hill.
I second that. I feel like I'm either gonna get shanked -OR- blown up sitting in that..... death
throne?
...we had something similar build for the US Military while in a 3rd world country.
still better than digging a hole in the ground and taking a shit by squatting over the hole.
Squatting over a hole would be tolerable than this because at least you know where it goes and your not having your butt touch anything.
(Insert exasperated sigh here followed by China bashing)
(Insert comment here saying your intelligence is lower than the average followed by saying all your facts are wrong with no proof)
(Insert comment saying umad)
Oh, I love these!
1: "*siiiiigh*... I don't understand how China can have the greatest economy in the world, but not spend any money on actually making sure things don't always blow up."
2: "LOL your IQ must be really low, because China is ONE OF THE GREATEST AND SAFEST CUONTRIES IN THE WORLD! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! YOU SMELLY FAT AMERIKANS DON'T KNOW ANYTHING"
3: "umad bro?"
China Explodes, episode 32,435
(Insert comment that we're all mad in one form or another, reply vulgarly that I have also had recent relations with your own mother AND sister - and my own mother - simultaneously, then seriously and studiously compare techniques and positions regarding how my mother enjoyed them. Then offer tips so you may enjoy your mother & sister, too.)
(insert comment? no, I would just insert something else...)
"(insert comment about how i am not mad plus a witty comment insinuating that I have recently had relations with your mother)"
Ooooh! ya got me!
*falls over in a comical fashion and dies*
'CUONTRIES? AMERIKANS?LOL your IQ must be really low.'
whehehehehe.
(insert comment about how i am not mad plus a witty comment insinuating that I have recently had relations with your mother)
Compare a Japanese toilet with all its amenities with that concrete abomination! I envision a sea of maggots crawling just a half meter below that poor guys ass!
I know the toilet god from Binbougami Ga! would never live in a disgusting hole like that!
In Communist China, toilet shit on YOU.
In this case literally.
Imagine the shit traveling faster than speed of light!
In China THAT is perfectly possible!
the day when china is being menaced by exploding explosions...
still no article about the exploding shark tank at the aquarium? That was pretty funny, killed 3 sharks and injured an onlooker
post more naked lolis
Wow, I feel like I should make a witty comment about something exploding in China.
Clearly shitting on the train is a better alternative to having to use that crapper.
It's funny we always bash and make fun of China while the fact every country in this world has its own problem.

According to the article above, the person needed stitches and CPSC informed 304 of the Flushmate toilets have exploded.
Never mind I think everything it's made in China, quality control in China, design might be in China, it could be user error, let's blame China, please focus on China problems not our own.
Why China is still making so much progress? Doesn't matter, we will keep bashing China even if our country is on the verse of collapse.
I hope a tentacle comes out of my toilet, instead of a "Boom"
>_<
Chinaman! Here big good western wisdom!
Methane come from shit! Methane can explode if no dissipate!
Get fancy scientist. Have him work out way to contain methane, put in "Digester", siphon off methane. Your humans and pigs will make much energy!
That looks absolutelly disgusting.. Can't they reserve a few of there millions for some proper toilets over there.
I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do in this situation. Should I be sad for the poor people or should I laugh my ass off on this.
Seriously China? That toilet is disgusting!
Shit just got real, literally
It's no wonder they are shitting in the streets, on trains, etc. when this is the alternative
yep, all of sudden those past pics make sense. I understand the chinese people now, since I would prefer shitting in the streets than using this kind of "toilet".
They are collecting building material.
Just looking at that pic makes me want to wash my hands
