In 2021, joke cryptos seem to be in a never-ending turf war to see which one can be the most ridiculous. Aside from the classic DogeCoin, crypto-fans can now try to get rich off of CumCoin, PissCoin, ASS Tokens, and god knows what else.

Cho Jae-weon, an environmental engineering professor at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, has come up with a prototype for an eco-friendly toilet that rewards the people who use it with a proprietary cryptocurrency, called “Ggool,” meaning “honey” in Korean. Students earn 10 Ggool per day for their “contributions” to the toilet and those coins can be turned in for books or cups of coffee at one of the cafes on campus.
