But, you don't understand the toilet. The toilet cannot be monetized if we cannot see you taking a poo. Changing the glass doors will completely kill a trillion dollar industry.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

By using this toilet you "agree" consent to our updated reams of legal mumbo jumbo designed to overwhelm you, and which chips away at your rights and hands them over to us.

If you click "disagree", you are free to have your gallbladder feel as if it is going to burst, which may cause internal damage that is NOT our responsibility.

This restroom service has been brought to you by the techbro suits eyeing that new Learjet for unlimited weekend cocaine-and-hookers trips to Vegas and the Caribbean.

If you click "disagree", we will immediately close this app, and issue no refunds. If agreement is optional then we will ask you again every four minutes for eternity, or until you consent, whichever comes first.

> then we will ask you again every four minutes for eternity

That's why god made ublock origin.

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

We updated our policies to be more transparent.

[–] mokus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pray we do not update it further

They install cameras and sell the feed access to the highest bidder.

They force you to watch a 30 second ad for each wad of toilet paper used

You can pee for free, but pooing requires you to sign up with your email address and credit card.

You get regular notifications informing which of your friends are pooing nearby.

Invite 3 friends to get 1 month premium pooing for free.

Get an ultra yearly subscription and you get a frosted glass cubicle for enhanced privacy (camera feed remains in cubicle)

Aren't these the ones where the stall walls turn opaque when you lock the door?

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So assuming they are... I'm still stuck at "why is this a thing?" Why do we need magicchange glass when particle board is far cheaper? I would have to be in dire straits to use one of these as my bowels would freeze up for fear of the glass switching to clear when someone jiggles the handle

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

There's a lot of things that people do that aren't for practical reasons. That's why all our homes aren't just concrete cubes. Somebody must have decided that this looks cool and futuristic.

Strictly from practical reasons, I suppose it's marginally easier and faster to identify a free stall. Whether that is worth the extra cost is subjective.

Also, the default state for this glass is frosted. In case of a failure it all becomes frosted.

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know if i were the janitor id fuckin' hate it for sure.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, removing greasy hand prints is probably an extra chore.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What about removing shit stains?

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hopefully, it's not a routine procedure, seeing as the shitter is in the opposite direction from the glass.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are clearly underestimating the ability of stupidity.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe, but you'd have to wash shitstains even off regular opaque stall walls. In fact, I can see how it would be easier to do with glass walls, as glass isn't porous, unlike the usual materials that are used for this purpose.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the stupid will be tempted to smear it more since it would be visible from the outside.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

That's not stupid, that's malicious. Well, and stupid, but malicious first.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Some turn opaque by itself when you're doing your heavy sweaty business there for some time.

[–] markstos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Or a misguided solution to prevent drug use in public stalls?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Video of those for people interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGoKsv2omBU

But this one is probably a prison or something.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah… sure..

This photo is actual nightmare fuel. 😫

Logs your usage, lets you see one week of history. Meanwhile sells the entire usage history of you and everyone in your contact list to anyone willing to pay.

Clients try to get you to pay as much as possible for toilet paper (subscription tp anyone? Will be cheaper in first stage of enshittification until they monopolize the market). Other clients try to correlate the success of political propaganda with how regular you are. Elected officials won't regulate, because it's a tool they had to master to get elected.

On the plus side, Lemmy exists and that's a step in the right direction. Would work that into toilet metaphor but don't wanna ramble.

Is this a prison?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 9 points 1 month ago

Oh man there is (or was, I'm too lazy to check) a restaurant in Philly that had walls that were transparent when you were outside the bathroom but when you locked the door became opaque from the outside but were still transparent from the inside and it was WEIRD pissing in there. Paranoia to the max

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is my rifle.

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Bulldoze the community garden and replace it with glass

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This one of those fancy glasses that is no longer see through once you lock the door? That would be a genius way of telling which toilets are empty.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Every app with ‘go’ at the end of its name now.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm legit getting paranoid wondering how much of hwat I do online people can fucking see

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We all see how you misspelled 'what' as 'hwat' in case you weren't sure. Nowhere is safe!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

No, I'm from the South and speak fluent Hank Hill. Not a typo

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Nar, I don't think that's quite right. I reckon it's more like nice looking cubicles (with normal walls) but also lots of cameras from all different angles.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are these toilets at a spa?

Too nice for any N. American prison, unfortunately. This is just a bathroom reno.

Since they put the vinyl film on the glass after assembly (to avoid scratches) there’s an opportunity for this picture during every installation. Frosted matte translucent film is most popular.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not every installation! My job just moved warehouses and had to build bathroom stalls (idk what the last company did but it looked like they held hands while they pooed...anyway). All ours are plastic lol, were probably just as opaque the second they came out of the molds as they are now.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Don’t you hold hands when you poo? Am I doing it wrong?

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah those plastic ones are probably a quicker install too. The tempered glass in the photo is heavier than it looks.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, you guys get stall doors??

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Luxury, my dad took mine off the hinges due to my online activities

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Is that one second from the right missing a seat?
