Flying toilet

A flying toilet is not really a toilet, but it's something that some people use as a toilet when they don't have access to a real one. It's basically a plastic bag that they use to collect their poop and pee in.

The reason it's called a flying toilet is because some people who use them live in places where they don't have access to a toilet that is connected to a sewer system or a septic tank. So they have to dispose of their waste in some other way.

One way they do this is by throwing the bag of waste away, which is why it's called a flying toilet. They throw it away because they don't have a place to properly dispose of it.

This isn't very healthy because if everyone did this, it could spread diseases and pollute the environment. It's important for everyone to have access to a safe and clean toilet so they can properly dispose of their waste.
