Many of you sent me this viral photo of a skull toilet - a “Skoilet,” if you will - and I am very grateful, because this is of course Extremely My Shit. I had to know more, and I ended up down a rabbit hole into the fascinating world of luxury European designer skoilets. THREAD.

The first skoilet I found is called SKULLPOT, a Swiss brand created in 2020 devoted to one thing and one thing only: "We specialize exclusively in modern rimless toilets in the shape of skulls." You have to appreciate a clear and focused vision. 2/

Far from being a novelty item, Skullpot markets itself as luxury Swiss design, a statement piece that says "I'm rich, I'm classy, and I like to open up a giant cranium and shit in its skull cavity." Skullpots also come in black and gold, although there are no photos of those. 3/

You can order a Skullpot for worldwide delivery from Switzerland: skullpot.com/en/shop - They cost $590 USD for white, $690 for black, and $890 for gold. And obviously you're not going to want to take a skulldump without the branded gold foil toilet paper and hand towels. 4/

But wait, there’s more. Skullpot has already branched out into new dimensions of Skoilets: The Skull Urinal. The “Skurinal,” if you will. 5/

If this all is smelling a little less "badass goth pooping throne" and more "Ed Hardy Vegas nightclub," you're not wrong! You can get a sense of the target market here from their, yes, Skullpot Tiktok, featuring THE SKOILET MOBILE: 6/

But it gets even better. You see, Skullpot is not the only luxury European skoilet maker in the game. In fact, they're not even the first: In 2017, WATER THRONE was founded in France with, again, one singular mission and product: Skoilets. But these ones HAVE GLOWING EYES. 7/

Water Throne was created by Claude Somajini, a former plumber turned inventor, who spent three years developing his dream skoilet and now they are his life's work. The commitment is a common thread here. You either get in the skoilet game 200% or not at all. 8/

Somajini, being the visionary that he clearly is, customizes his skoilets with themed skins, and if you thought you had already seen the most Ed Hardy Vegas nightclub shit the skoilet world had to offer, OH HOW WRONG YOU WERE: 10/

Why JUST have a $2000 skull-shaped toilet with glowing eyes and bluetooth audio when you can have one that ALSO says something about you? Perhaps you love music, and want your skoilet to remind you to "enjoy everything," including, presumably, pooping in a cranium. 11/

For the film buffs out there, how about your very own 2019 Cannes Film Festival skoilet, where you can be the director - of pooping in a cranium. 12/

This skoilet appears cleverly-designed to conceal your accidental piss sprinkles by... already looking like it's been completely showered in urine? 13/

Here's a picture of the Water Throne showroom. Next time you're in France, forget the Louvre, this is the only art gallery you need. 14/

Here's Somajini from his IG, which is of course 100% devoted to skoilets. He says: "The greatest virtue of a creator is to provide added value, something new that improves our experience and enhances our daily life." The man is an artist, and cranial crappers are his art. 15/

Thank you all for joining me on this deep dive into the world of skoilets. If you're here because you like skulls, I do not offer any skull toilets but you might like my new pop art + apparel line Pop Skullture, available now at popskullture.com
