This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

Imagine a hockey puck sized Roomba that docks at the top of the bowl, off to one side, that slides to the bottom after every flush and then scrubs it's way back up to the dock.

Okay, but what does it do when you drop a monster deuce and clog the toilet? Does it just start spraying poop water all over the place?

Just like a normal Roomba, it does a bad job every time, but by virtue of daily repetition it eventually does a better job than lazy humans.

The answer is lasers, and a powerful exhaust fan. There probably should be an occupancy sensor to prevent a late night poop ending with an emergency room visit.

It's like one square foot of wet porcelain. If you clean it regularly, there really shouldn't be any build up.

yeah and if you vaccume regularly you won't need a roomba

But vacuuming takes time. You have to get the vacuum out of the closet and run it across the entire room. Cleaning the toilet consists of leaning down to pick up the brush, swirling it around to clear off the pieces of poop you just left behind, and putting the brush back. You can do it in less time than it takes to flush the toilet.

you have to get out the brush and the cleaning solution and you have to run the brush around the entire toilet bowl. Not to mention the flushing. omg just thinking about it makes me want to take a nice stroll around the apartment with a nice rolling guide to make sure I don't fall.

You only need to deep clean like once a month or less, depending on the number of users and typical diet.

yeah. my main point is what is worth automating is different for different folks. Like if we were cleaning and my wife was like. Do you want to vaccum or do the toilets. I would vaccum.
