    Forget the moon. We’re all within a few generations of the first people who had access to indoor toilets on a mass scale.

      India basically introduced toilets in a single generation.

      According to this article, in 1993, 70.3% of the Indian population did not have access to toilets. By 2021, the number dropped to 17.8%. So literally more than half the population of India got access to toilets within 30 years.
