"Wingardium Leviosa!"

(Swish and flick)

"Oh Gawd! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there!  Aguamenti! Aguamenti!"

[Mathel]

Again, you can just vanish the daily effluent.

A chamber pot is just fine, if you have your wand ready. Aim and POOF, no more poop.

Makes one think why they even installed the plumbing.
They have spells that can create water and spells that can make stuff disappear. Just put the first on taps, the second on your chamberpots and you do not need plumbing.

The only reason I can think of for creating plumbing is to make it easier for the basilisk to move around.

[Eric Blank]

Those damn slitherins tricking everyone into letting them invent a weird sewer. Probably hired a ravenclaw guy to prove their poop-dispelling sewer system is more magically efficient than enchanted chamber pots. All for the basilisk.

[Akura]

Where does the Hogwarts sewage run off to? Do they have a modern sewage system complete with pump stations? Of course they don't, wizards don't even understand what cars are, let alone the intricacies of modern public sanitation.

The answer: The ancient Romans ran their sewage off into the nearest body of water and there is a giant lake right next to the school oh my god.

I believe it's actually confirmed in the books themselves that it does in fact empty into the lake. Myrtle is familiar with the mermaids that live there.

The only reason I can think of for creating plumbing is to make it easier for the basilisk to move around.

So when the Hogwarts founders were building the castle, and Godric Gryffindor notices the pipework...
"Uh, hey, Salazar? What's with all the pipes?" Gryffindor gestured towards the large pipes, nearly wide enough to fit all four of them.
"It's plumbing for the toilets!"
Gryffindor gave him a confused look. "Toilets?" he asked, "But we can just Vanish our-"
"Plumbing!" Slytherin ejaculated, "The Roman Muggles had it."
"But you hate Muggles. Why would-"
"You ask to many questions, Godric." As Gryffindor walked away, Slytherin called out. "And stay out of the girls' bathroom on the third floor! There's... nothing in there!"

I'm glad we're solving the big questions here.

[Naturegirl1999]

Squibs? Muggle-Wizard hybrids?

[wierd]

Squibs are magical humans who have the equivalent of a genetic birth defect. They can perceive the magical world, but have either very very weak magic, or no magical powers to speak of.

Muggles are completely nonmagical humans, that cannot perceive the magical world.

[Dunamisdeos]

I thought squibs were muggles born into a wizard family. Like mom and dad are wizards, but you did not inherit the magic gene and therefore can do little to no magic.

[Reelya]

Very progressive world building there.

The inclusivity shit is bullshit, because the entire thing is extremely elitist, but it's just not PC enough apparently in the particular upper-middle class sort of way people want.

Was looking at the Nintendo Switch E-shop, browsing at random, and saw an actual H-Game listed there. Didn't expect that on the Nintendo store. Even if it's apparently (partially) censored.
No, I didn't buy it. I saw it cheaper on Steam. No, I didn't buy it there either.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

_{^{Because you bought it uncensored on the dev's website instead.}}

[MrRoboto75]

_{he probably torrented it, the cheapskate}

A bit of a random musing I had while sitting on the toilet:

In the Witcher 3,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 it's basically the player's actions what determine the outcome of the war. If you do nothing, Radovid wins. Despite Nilfgaard's supposed superiority.

Now there is a mention of sorts in-game that Radovid had come out during the war as a surprisingly able general.

 Ok, so he's some sort of military savant.

But that's still not enough to explain this, because if you kill Radovid and don't kill Djistra, Nilfgaard still loses. And Djistra is no military man.

This kind of stinks a bit because we're not only told of, we get to *see* Nilfgaard military superiority, it's actually hammered in over and over.  And yet apparently nothing short of a  decapitating strike on the enemy leadership can ensure a Nilfgaardian victory???
