Why do we need smart potties?

Imagine in a power outage. Even the potty doesn’t work. Insanity.

I WANT one of these smart toilets. I do.

I’ll just press a button on my phone app and BINGO!

All Wiped Up.

This begs the question of why it is important to have a smart phone-controlled pooper.

Everybody be careful, I have one of these and had some issues. I was sitting on the toilet doing my business when I decided to activate the toilet app with my cell phone. I had toilet paper in one hand and my phone in the other. I went to put my password (My password is poopoo, how clever is that?) in my cell phone but wait a minute, this hand has the toilet paper. This could only mean one thing, the cell phone is in my ass. Yes, some ass has my cell phone. I put the phone in a zip lock bag and took it to the Apple store and told them, “I don’t know what happened, it just stopped working”. If you can believe it, I now have to operate the toilet manually until I get my phone back, How stupid is that, what am I a cave man or something?

They are loaded with features such as automated lids that open and close,

Time for Hollywood to remake No Time for Sergeants.

The line offers a bowel-movement tracker for those concerned with monitoring their health.

Great, now my doctor and the IRS will think I go to the bathroom every 30 seconds because the neighbor kid hacked my toilet.

What is it with the Japanese and toilets?

According to a warning by the information security firm Trustwave, a Satis-brand toilet by the Japan-based company Lixil can be controlled remotely by an Android app. According to Daniel Crowley a managing consultant with information security firm Trustwave SpiderLabs, the vulnerability could allow a prankster to outsmart the toilets.
So, I go to the bathroom in the airport. What is the story on the sinks in airport bathrooms, that they will not give us a twist-it-on twist-it-off, human-style faucet? Is that too risky for the general population? Too dangerous? We gotta install the one-handed, spring-loaded, pain-in-the-ass Alcatraz-style faucet. You know, those ones you gotta go: "Hey I got a little water there" "Hey I got a couple of drops."

What is it they think we would do with a faucet? Turn them all on full, run out into the parking lot laughing, pushing each other into the bushes?
"Come on, the water's on, let's go! I turned it on full blast!"
"You idiot! We're businessmen - we're gonna miss our plane."
"Who cares? Water!"
That's how they think we're gonna act.

I’m surprised that it doesn’t intentionally let you sync up with your phone via bluetooth as a sanitary measure. People could request features with their phones rather than touch a common panel on the wall. It would have to figure out a way to make sure you sync up with the right phone instead of the one held by the person in a nearby stall.

The possibilities are endless. Yelp could confirm that you really did eat at the restaurant on which you just passed commentary. Walgreens could determine if you are a good candidate for stool softener coupons. ...

News of the vulnerability has attracted many jokes and snarky metaphors.

I knew that when I read that sentence that FReepers would be all over this with even better snark and better jokes.

It appears I was not wrong....
