Get Paid $34 to Poop in This Luxurious Setting

Fecal donation in the United States has been a thing for a while, as has banking your own poop for personal needs.

Sora News 24 reports that fecal donation happens in Japan, too. There's a facility in Yamagata Prefecture that pays people ¥5,000 ($34.50 USD) per load. Metagen, the pharmaceutical company that operates it, harvests intestinal bacteria. Only 5-10% of people pass the screening process to select the best poops, which they leave in private donation rooms.

The photos look amazing! The facility looks more like Starfleet Command than a mere toilet stall. Making a donation must give a person the feeling of traveling into a utopian future.
