    A ‘smart toilet’? What the hell does a toilet need to be smart for? And then, cherry on top, toilet and camera in the same sentence. The world needs to end.

      A trip to japan may reveal that smart may not be a thing but borderline magical just might be.

    I don’t know what’s funnier. A “smart toilet” or the fucking moron that is dumb enough to buy one.

    described the $599 device (it also requires a subscription that starts at $7 per month) as a toilet bowl attachment that uses “optical sensors and validated machine-learning algorithms” to deliver “valuable insights into your health and wellness.”

    Do they take their product ideas from the Onion?
    This can’t be real, can it??

      It’s real. A lot of information can be taken from those bowls, you know, the kind of information big corporations will use to fuck you up when they get the chance.

    Never install a camera in a bathroom

    Like, you don’t install anthrax in a maternity ward

      Well, I can see some use cases. But they’re usually not pointed down in the bowl.
