About this model:
As someone with a very weak bladder that is not related to any diabetic condition I may or may not have, I have experienced some of North America's most intense, amazing, and dirtiest roadside restrooms (which are called "washrooms" in Canada) in almost all states and provinces. In my previous life as a remote technician, I traveled 90% of the time for work, most often in a vehicle with dozens of Red Bull cans piled up in the backseat. That being said, when I entered upon the generative AI art world, I found a severe lack of models that truly captured the spirit and rawness of the American Gas/Petrol station restroom. I hope that this LoRA inspires you to love your own restroom, and yourself.

Tips for maximizing this LoRA's potential:

Just like what qualities you decide to choose in a life partner, with this LoRA, you can choose a dirty, filthy restroom or a nice clean one. See the following sample outputs with supplied prompt and settings to illustrate what I mean.

I have also provided a few exterior pictures in the dataset to capture that amazing American gas station charm.

Complications/Issues:

i) You don't really need this LoRA. While testing the first epochs that the trainer spit out, I generated some really great pictures in various Illustrious checkpoints that turned out amazing. I was pretty proud of myself until I realized I had not yet attached the LoRA. Nay, at that point I had not even copied/pasted those epochs into the correct directory. Here's a sample with prompt and seed/info of what I'm referring to:

Steps: 20, Sampler: DPM++ 2M, Schedule type: Karras, CFG scale: 7, Seed: 528227317, Size: 896x1152

But the advantage of using my LoRA is that you do not need to enter most of the tags I had to write in order to generate my samples/examples.

ii) Because we live in an international world, most of the toilets that generate appear with the sink combo, which sits on top of the toilet. This is a style mostly associated with Japan. We have those in the US but mostly in prisons. I highly recommend adding "sink" in your tags to minimize this, but it still happens anyway.

Personally I think this design is cool, but you would likely never see this in a US or Canadian restroom.

iii) Mirrors - this is an issue with generative AI in general. Not only illustrations/art but also with video, and to some extent, music AI generators. There's not much we/you/I can do about this except maybe pray to Jeebus for a future solution. I'm sure Nvidia has something cooked up but it's gonna cost you because scalpers are the only ones making the rounds with those precious 5XXX series cards.

Please see the pictures attached to the gallery for more samples/examples of ways and ideas you can use to utilize the full potential of this model (and possibly, your life!).

Background information no one cares about:

I worked in the casino industry for a majority of my life before retiring early and peace-ing out. When I was on the road fixing slot machines and was gulping down energy drinks such as Red Bull, Monster, Amp Energy (no longer available FYI), and the occasional "Go Girl!" (if it was on sale), my bladder would yell at me by hurting my kidneys to find a hole for urination. Working in the gambling industry, I quickly despised gambling in all forms including Pokemon cards. But the only way I could get the dopamine hit from winning was from certain LEGAL controlled substances, and as I would eventually discover, finding a clean restroom in the middle of nowhere. There was no greater joy in my life than to stumble upon a bleached, spotless restroom in BFE Wyoming along I-80 at 6PM at dusk, knowing a Xyience cranberry lime and Subway meatball sandwich was waiting for me in my white service vehicle. I miss those days ... I miss that feeling ... God...I miss you. Come back into my life baby, and let's go, girl!
