Nope, toilet bowl, It should be toilet bowl.
Confucius says, "If you stand on toilet bowl, you are high on pot".

No, in. The toilet is a room (in this context) and we are never at a room. The This sentence is entirely correct, though not idiomatic in American English (for a change!)

Lavatory is also used in England (and I assume the rest of the UK) but Duolingo does not recognise it. Clearly they have not read Nancy Mitford's U and non-U (where the U stands for upper class) which is about defining a person's social class by their choice of words.
