I wish I could understand the people who have internet without toilets: Is it something where it's just not a big deal to pee / poop outside where they live?

I could see, if I lived in an area where the weather was nice, and it wasn't a big deal to just walk over to a tree and water it, I might not care as much either.

Is it like camping where it's often easier to just duck behind a tree instead of walking to the bathroom?



Sewers and toilets are very, very expensive. Indoor plumbing malfunctions regularly destroy houses even when they are protected by well-enforced building codes, and porcelain toilets basically require industrial mass production. Internet access is much cheaper.
