What happens when the company goes out of business? You no longer can flush?
As long as they can convince their shareholders this will eventually make money and you buy into their eventual $30/flush subscription they won’t have to go out of business
Precisely
I laughed a lot when I saw this and I sent it to my parent who laughed too. This is my parents house right now. They want buttons for their lamps but they were forced to get an app for most of them and had to fight the company to put in buttons. They also got a ventilation system without buttons and they could not get buttons except if they payed for a very expensive hub, so they went for the app. But only one person can be connected at a time and you have to unpair before someone else can pair, so the app act as if it is the hub… it is very strange
My parents had a house built a couple of years ago and it’s the same with them. It’s real hard for me to say “I told you so” like every time I go over there and see them fighting with some app bullshit on one of their appliances. It pisses me off so much because there was nothing wrong with their old house and now I’m going to be stuck inheriting the new one that’s worse in every way. Probably right around the time all the cut corners in the construction start coming out as the place falls apart.
I’d love to inherit a house even if it had no appliances and was falling apart…
Yeah I know I’m fortunate and this is pretty much the only route to home ownership for me it’s just frustrating to think about what could have been and what’s waiting in the future.

Modern existence in a nutshell.
Set up Home Assistant on a Pi or something for them. It can likely control everything from a central app
Funnily enough, my toilet has it’s own app.(“Japanese style” shower toilet by a German company)
It’s non-cloud, Bluetooth only, all functions work without it,but it tells you when preventative maintenance is due and enables you to configure the user profiles easier.
So there’s that.
Wouldn’t have bought it otherwise.
yeah I have the toilet from this photograph, it’s really frustrating. good post OP, it’s definitely relevant to the community
I believe it is making light of the fact that this is the direction we are heading in as a society. See the recent ford patent that listens to you while you are driving to serve ads over your stereo, the $800 child’s toy that will now be nothing but e-waste, BMW having you “subscribe” to your heated seats, or a more relavent to this conic example, the thousands if not millions of new “smart” devices that now require an app to perform functions that older technology could perform without needing a smartphone.
Not just download the app, but sign up for an account (and the newsletter in the process).
Then grant permissions to your phone:
- camera (so it can watch you poop and train + analyze the footage with AI)
- microphone (so it can hear and analyze if your plops are optimal)
- contacts (to send out an invitation to all your contacts, along with a clip of your last poop sesh)
- photos and videos (to upload, store, and analyze your life since birth, along with everyone else who’s in your pictures)
- sensors (to see how you’re holding the phone, when, how much, how hard, etc.)
- notifications (to sell you the premium plan)
- location (for pinpoint accuracy of your 💩 locations)
- call logs (to see who you’re communicating with before, during, and after you drop your log)
- nearby devices (for accuracy and to silently notify with nearby devices)
- calendar (for full history and to schedule your next mondo duke)
Don’t forget all the health and biometric data, last used app, and Facebook access
NOOO!!! This is the Torment Nexus of toilets… now some company is going to do this…
Some company surely already done this.
In an alternate universe where /c/shitpost is a place where users share images of their latest bowel movement.
I’m pretty sure there actually was a community like that on Reddit.
Free trial exhausted. Subscribe now to keep using server infrastructure. After all, all you bought was the toilet, you can’t expect the server space for free.
Triple Flush Achievement Unlocked! Share with your friends?
Shares with all of your contacts by default. Also includes a sales pitch to each of them to sign up as well
The remote bidet feature could be fun at parties!
It tracks the quality of your shits, draws a graph of the daily amount that you can share on social media and recommends a list of sponsored foods depending on your needs.
I know you’re joking but a toilet that analyzes your stool would be quite remarkable health monitoring device to go along with our smartwatches and stuff. I bet there’s loads of health markers you could see from it.
Unremarkable shits. Your insurance claim has been denied
You jest but that’s literally already a thing that exists and you can buy it!
This could legit be helpful for me. There are so many times when I think I flushed the toilet but it turns out I didn’t
People who greenlight these apps never heard of the cylons.
Is nobody gonna mention the blueberry pie sitting in the middle of the hallway?
The first thing to be flushed down that drain would be the plumber.
