Scott Manley and others note Orion toilet issues on day one, turning a mundane systems problem into a widely shared talking point during the mission.

I spent days researching the toilet on the Orion spacecraft,now it sound like the fan jammed in day one
There's a bit of toilet trouble on NASA's Artemis 2 mission to the moon
Swear to god, if a BROKEN TOILET is the legacy of the Artemis II mission, I have no hope for humanity
i can’t believe it’s not an april fools joke that the TOILET on artemis ii needs to be troubleshooted
Something you wouldn’t expect to hear on lunar mission radio: astronauts and mission control troubleshooting a toilet.
“Houston, we have… we have a different kind of problem”
