Yeah but the difficulty won’t be “we have nowhere to put our shit”, it will be “how do we put our shit into this hole in our bathroom?”
Yes, 8 billion people handling human waste is a very large problem. Especially considering there’s a large population of very young, very old, and disabled people that won’t be able to handle their own waste. Handling human waste is extremely dangerous, especially when a lot of people are doing it. Dysentery was the largest killer of people up until very recent modern times, and that just because of advances is sanitation systems.
Just teaching people how to disassemble broken toilets, how to run water afterwards, and then how to block the hole so sewer gas doesn’t flood every living space on earth seems like a nightmare. We couldn’t get people to wear masks correctly.
It doesn’t take a very large portion of the population becoming ill to have a societal threatening level of infrastructure collapse.
