You should not breathe the air from sewage pipes. You'd have to be at the end of your options to do this, if there's a fire and you can't leave the room via the door or window, you would want to cover the door with clothes/towels whatever to slow the ingress of smoke and open/smash the window calling for help. You should be crawling around if the room is filling with smoke, keep low to the floor as that's where the cleaner air is, the sewage pipe is not cleaner air.
You’ve just made me realized this. In every hotel I have ever been in, even ones which have cost upwards of $600/night, I have never seen a bathroom with a window.
If you think about average hotel construction, most are built similarly; bathroom right as you walk in, bed(s) further out, and a window. I’d wager this is due to keeping the plumbing more centralized to the building core, especially the waste pipes. If you ran the bathrooms to the outer edge of the building, that would increase the length of the plumbing laterals, more space between floors to accommodate greater slope of the waste pipes (and a greater risk of them becoming clogged), and reduced water pressure (without upsizing a pressure pump). It just becomes more economical to build this way, especially when you add a number of floors.
Stayed in a 450/night a couple years ago in Berkeley that definitely had a window in the bathroom. It was an older house, and I’m quite sure that some of the rooms didn’t.
Edit (by house I meant mansion/Palace that’s been converted into a 100ish room hotel)
My theory is that cats domesticated us to serve them and once we were docile enough to be trusted they became lazy, but we got the last laugh, they didn’t predict our obsession with dressing them up in ridiculous but cute as fuck costumes just to make other humans go awww.
Not mine, used Moe’s litterbox not knowing how long it might last as a temp image of OP image as BG for GNOME. Turns out that temp hosting option is probably rate limited…no big deal. It wasn’t a forever internet pic anyways.
