We may share your poop with third party to improve user experience.

Your poop will be used to custom tailor your experience to be the best possible poop

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

We'll scan your butt cheeks to tailor the toilet seat to your exact shape

Don't be afraid to show your uniqueness

Enjoy the difference

More like "We'll make good value from your privacy"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

"Your privacy has value to us [and our 1000 best friends]."

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=DJklHwoYgBQ

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Thats hilarious

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's "Your privacy is very valuable to us." Do you even corporate-speak?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not in English apparently:(

Yours sounds more corporate indeed

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you have nothing to hide you won't have any problems

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like that you are still able to close and lock a door. Imagine holding eye contact with someone while you close the door behind you to get some privacy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would be down for competitive pissing

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can we get glass toilet bowls as well? That way we could jugde anybody's shit during session.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

That's in the next update

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Our privacy policy is completely transparent.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Don't you see how this improves law-enforcement? Now the criminals won't dare to do forbidden stuff there.
-- some government, somewhere

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Don't you see how this improves law-enforcement? Now the ~~criminals~~ trans people won't dare to ~~do forbidden stuff~~ use the restroom there.

-- some government, somewhere

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Meanwhile the criminals are out pissing in the bushes, or a totally different bathroom all together.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Well, I dont

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

You only have to pay €1,- for each visit!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Little did they know that it's exactly my thing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Tungsten glass? The one that goes white when electricity passes through it? Opaque when locked?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

thankfully it's usually the other way around: the glass is opaque and only transparent with power. So you don't need to worry about an ill-timed power outage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's called PDLC film (polymer-dispersed liquid crystal) and it's a thin layer you can apply to anything. It's literally liquid crystal droplets suspended in a plastic sheet layered between transparent ITO conductors (indium-tin-oxide).

A distinctive feature of panels layered with this is that there must be a bezel along at least one edge through which to run the power. I don't see any in the right places on the doors for these, so nope, these are just clear glass without any PDLC film.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Sure that's one type, but there are others too. Like electrochromic smart glass

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

They have (had?) those in Tokyo for a while.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Not that weird, from a historical or regional perspective. Most of the history of humankind did not feature bathroom privacy. Toilets in rural China are basically lines of rectangular holes cut in the floor.

This is a very old image, so extremely likely real or manually edited.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I'm guessing art installation, I can't imagine why one would build the stalls like that otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Bathroom or Black Lodge?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

So this is a straight up meme sub now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Romans had this system 2000 years ago!
