- ridgelawrence, on 10/12/2007, -3/+128If I saw one of those, I would walk up to it and start pointing and laughing (assuming there's someone inside) and maybe they will think I could see them.
Better yet get like 20 people to surround it and point and laugh while someone is inside. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+92We got a nice accompanying Google ad...

- bigtomrodney, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47No matter how many times you told yourself it's okay, I can't imagine that would be a relaxed crap. Man that's the funniest toilet I ever did see. Respect.
- JonDiggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+43people with stage fright need not apply...
i'd stand outside it pretending I could see you... hahahah how creepy... - Vexaxix, on 10/12/2007, -4/+42Those who poo in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
- joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -9/+47you know everyone is spanking it in there.
it's probably caked in semen
eeeeewwwwwwwwww... eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
you sick bastards - Witherbucket, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30To everyone talking about finding ways to see inside I have one thing to say. Why would you want to see someone poop? Ok, maybe the wrong question to ask on the internet, but still, why?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27What about at night, where the inside would probably be brighter than the outside.
I'm guessing that if you needed a dump you'd just lay one outside the cube. - zweben, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Usually if you just cup your hands over it you can see through a bit. They work (partially) by having more light on the outside than the inside, so if you darken the area around your eyes, it loses some effect.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28from the article:
"good place to masturbate, when the one you desire is just near outside " - UriMcFlurry, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25HAHA. That would be awesome. I'd totally do the same thing. Wait until someone goes in and just stand two inches in front of it and stare.

- zip22, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25its actually more than 2 years old according to one of the links below (december 2003). and it was on digg at least once.
http://www.digg.com/tech_news/See_Through_Public_Toilet - rideagain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22You're both right. It's an art "action" that is fully fonctional. So it's both a real toilet and an art piece.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22I'd pee in it, what's the big deal?
- myheaditches, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26I dunno about you, but mine sure ain't a gherkin.
For those out of the know, a Gherkin is a small pickle that is 1 to 3 inches in length. - mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -9/+28"Probably on the front page"????
Wow! You're an asshat. - qwertydvorak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18shouldn't it be "those who piss in glass houses shouldn't pass stones" ?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+27If anyone had read the original article from a couple of years back when it was new, you would realise that its NOT a real toilet.
Its an art piece, and the artist would probably take a dim view of ppl who actually laid a sausage in it! - Quakes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I dunno, in the Snopes article about it (http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/toilet.asp ), everything suggests that it is, in fact, a real public restroom.
- bjnord, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I saw the one-way-mirror-from-the-bathroom thing done in a shopping mall restaurant once (it looked out into the mall thoroughfare). They defeated the "cup your hands and look inside" attack by putting an extra set of clear glass panes 3-6 feet or so out from the restaurant wall that had the one-way mirror, so you couldn't get close enough. Since the mall was always lit, you didn't have the problem with darkness outside. Voila.
- patnakajima, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13If i had a dollar for every time I've said that...
- AzRocks91, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17http://www.duggmirror.com/design/Swiss_Public_Toilet/
- UriMcFlurry, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I'd totally pee/poop in that toilet. Just knowing that I can see them, but they can't see me is quite the thrill.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16You know those reverse peephole things? What if someone had a reverse one-way mirror thing....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11the irony is, dupe whingers duplicate themselfs. doing the very thing they are whinging about.
- mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15Digg should start banning dupe nazis.
- dubloe7, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12actually, its a duplicate story from about 2-3 years ago... but whatever.
- tmilam, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I'm afraid all of you but the original duper are dupes. We're not talking about the story now, but you personally. You see, you are reporting a dupe that has already been reported as a dupe (we don't care).
- turbodigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Yeah toatally. And you can moon people and they cant see you.
- nferrier, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7this reminds me of that French film where everyone sits round a table on the loo but they have to scurry off to a private room to eat.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Wouldn't that ruin the whole point of mooning people?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10I wonder how many people have had sex in that thing.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11"I'm guessing that if you needed a dump you'd just lay one outside the cube."
I usually do. - Crypty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Keep in mind "digg" doesn't consider anything. People submit stuff. If it made it to the front page, people must find it interesting, new or old.
- ccanni1028, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's the angle of the camera. Try taking a picture of someone at a mirror, but you stand at a 45-degree angle to the mirror.
- friend18, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7It's my dream come true. Literally.
- Vexaxix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Well done - omg did I laugh.
For the record, I'd do the same! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4 yep and for the opening night they stuffed up the lighting and you could see in.
- spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Ladies and gentlemen.... Welcome. To. 2003!!!
THE FUTURE IS NOW! - ungamedplayer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4There has been a similar thing in a local pub in Brisbane Australia.
Instead of a "toilet" we have a trough, the glass wall in front of the trough faces the pub. So you can see people at the bar. Some guys aim at the glass, and try to "hit" people outside, I often wonder how much falls on their feet.
Unlike the Swiss one, inside this public toilet is pretty dark, I'm not sure why, it just is. - joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7An infrared camera can see in there as if it was glass.
Maybe it's like coke. That is crystal clear using the night-vision function on a camcorder then making a filter using it with a bundle of bits of old camera film (the dark bits at the end of the processed role). Of course the bits of film need doubling it up until you can't see through it with your eyes.........
Oh wait!.....oops! I just revealed how to make a camera which can see in this toilet without having to buy an expensive, and of dubious legality, filter. I also don't want to say that it can see through flimsy clothing.
Whoops again!! - ross., on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"An infrared camera can see in there as if it was glass. "
No it can't...i just tested it...it can't. The infrared light just reflects back. - codepoet80, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This is SO incredibly old... I can't believe this is on the front page. Did no one read BoingBoing 18 months ago.
- Crypty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I've been to bars where the stall doors were made of this. It's sort of like a liquid crystal display(the kind of watches). It's just glass with a quartz(?) in it. When electricity is sent through it, the glass turns opaque.
With that said, it would SUCK to be in there and have a power failure.
EDIT: Actually this might be something different. It looks like it could just be some one way glass. - anti-net, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4When i go to basle again im sooo going for a pee in that.
- EmmEff, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8This picture has been going around for YEARS... another lame attempt at trying to make old news new again.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6i'd crap in it..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wow.. .. superb...
