Once the constituents vote human waste into office it’s only a matter of time before it clutters the walkways.

We can go back to the gaslight era. That’s ‘progressive’ thinking

Just dog poop? If it cann handle human poop, they might like it in San Francisco!

...

The problem is getting someone to put it in the container.

All this spurred on by the UK’s fanatical adherence to the Warmunist theology.

San Francisco should look into this for all the human waste on the streets.

Cute idea, but at what expense??? I doubt this kind of thing will ever pay for itself. If not, it is just feel-good posturing.

No that can’t be real. Really?

Seems like it would be a bit messy on the skirt, BTW.

It’s not going to be 100% combustion, so some high-paid City supervisor will still have to tell some schmuck to clean out the shitoons once a week or so.

A dairy farmer I know produces enough biogas to run his whole operation and sell the excess back to the power company.

“Here darling - I knitted this in the bathroom for you”.

I remember when Cosmo Kramer prepared a meal in the shower while bathing.

Very silly idea. Assumes a constant rate of poop supplied after dark, when most people walk thier dogs in the daytime. The most they’ll get is an occasional light, and after the novelty wears off, none at all.

As a dog walker myself, I’d rather pack my poop out in my own bag than walk to where ever this silly lamp is, only to walk back into the dark to go home. DOH! The cost of the things won’t be worth the occasional glow.
