idk if the kerbals are undersized or the buildings and plants are oversized

Doors and toilets... are for humans. You're dealing with Kerbals here.

Trees? Why Giant Sequoia of course!

Kerbals aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer. They probably just got their measurements wrong

*sharpest tool in the shed

The toilet is simply built with the same engineering principles as everything else.  And it has a very impressive TWR.

You're assuming they put enough thought into it to consider scale.

It turns out that kerbals are kind of like pandas-- they live on a herbivorous, high-cellulose diet that has a very low calorie content per volume.  So they're rather... productive... and require specialized plumbing facilities.

Exactly, the toilet is the correct size for the activity involved.   Think "baseball back stop" when designing a kerbal toilet. 

 

And I'd really hate to see what happens when you click "Spawn Vessel" in that screen shot!

Honestly, if the first thing you do when modeling a door isn't checking the dimensions compared to the thing that would use said door...

[Urus28]

I'm sure kerbals are not from Kerbin, they arrived with flying saucers and probably forget their past... That would explain why their main interest is space, they just want to go home.

What append to Kerbin"s original habitant is a mystery.

Well at least we know where your failed career game goes.

Don't forget to flush

The toilet is actually an alien artifact from places unknown to Kerbal Kind.  The Kerbals use the three seashells.

Yeah, but Bob doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells.
