Man Buys Gold-Plated Toilet Seat for $30K, Installs It in IKEA Bathroom, Now Internet Is Flush with Rage. AITA for thinking this is peak capitalism? TL;DR: Some dude with more money than sense thought it’d be a hilarious prank to accessorize a public restroom with a $30,000 gold throne. Now the internet is losing its collective mind over the “waste” and “privilege,” but honestly, if you can afford to gold-plate your own porcelain throne, maybe the real crime is everyone else having to touch the same $20 IKEA toilet paper holder. I’m just saying, the ROI on that gold is probably better than my student loans. 🙄
