Who wants to bet that one day this will be real? If not already.

I'd rather shit in a hole

And if it is a public toilet, guess I'll leave it full.

I mean I prefer the motion sensor things when I'm public, but I can't see how it could ever be smart to get rid of the button. I would be fine with having a motion sensor at home.

The motion sensor on public toilets is fine... and yes, that little backup button is also critical. Getting rid of the button would be beyond stupid... this is because sometimes the motion sensor malfunctions.

As for the stuff at home I am content with the 100% mechanical flush mechanism that I have. Sure it means I need to clean the handle every once in a while, but that is no great inconvenience.

Yeah, not sure how often those commercial ones go out. I know the chain, or the bobber or some other plastic pieces will often break in the tank, but not to often. I notice they have more issues with those newer ones that have partial and full flushes, as if you are supposed to use half a flush if you urinate. Went through 3 of those cannister systems in a couple years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I never had that part break. The worst thing that happened is that the chain sometimes gets tangled and I need to open the water tank to untangle it. But it rarely happens and is kinda not a big deal.

I now only buy offline or local-only software and products. If it doesn't exist, I hack it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

An offline flushing app is not much better in this case.

if this happened i would shit in a bucket.

all natural.

So accurate

Ok but like today I literally discovered someone HACKED THEIR TOOTHBRUSH TO BE A RICKROLL
Technology has gone too far.

Full-dive VR is the only difference between this reality & a cyberpunk dystopia.

Is it one of those that plays music through bone conductivity? Cause that'd honestly be a pretty hilarious prank.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I think it would be even funnier if it just buzzed in time to the song, so it would take whoever was being pranked time to figure out what the hell was going on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Guess I'm not flushing. Enjoy.

In your own home? Seems like it's only you that reeks the benefits (pun intended)

Toilets are one of the easiest things to install. Why would you hire a plumber for that?

I'm having to replace my bathroom speaker controller because something about my new Pixel phone doesn't like them. The app won't run under modern android, and doesn't even connect via Bluetooth.
