Especially when in the loo.

That’s where I start praising and lauding O-bama.

“My last poop was so good, I thank O-bama for his executive orders.”

“Oh, darn I peed on the floor. Michelle will fix it.”

“‘Listening toilets’? Oh, this thread is gonna be good.”

Anyone talking to a toilet or faucetis in need of involuntary confinement in the State Home for the Deranged.

Or perhaps the State Home for the Bewildered.

I’m with you. More and more people are becoming a bunch of brain dead zombies.

I talked to the toilet in the master bath just this evening, because the damn water line clogged and now it won’t flush. I told it what I’m gonna do to it with a wrench tomorrow, and I used words Alexa can’t understand because I make up profanity on the fly.

Better watch out...Alexa might start reporting people to the authorities. It will go on your Social Credit score.

This means Gene Roddenberry’s computers were better than modern smart tech. His computers didn’t listen to you or scan you while you were in the bathroom or walking down the hall.

If the faucets and toilets have figured out how to use Alexa to eavesdrop on your conversations, then they are planning a rebellion.

I’m sure if these idiots are bugging my crap they are so interested in what me and my wife and children are talking about- it’s got to be just completely enthralling

“I believe claims that Alexa can “help” you are just a marketing ploy to get you to buy these things.

You dont know Alexa!

LOL! When you come home and find everything stolen including those cameras!

Makes you pine for an outhouse. Doesn’t it? Next best is a bucket and a bag. I’m a water saving realist. Trashman hates me though. (Well not me, the neighbor two doors down.

*snort* OK, you owe me a new keyboard. LOL Our ‘Residential Sanitation Engineers’ hate us because we have five house cats, and the used litter gets scooped into leaky plastic grocery bags. Do you know what one plastic Walmart bag full of urine-soaked litter and cat turdlets weighs? About 20 pounds per. A two-week load can add about an extra fifty pounds to the outside can. Let that bake in the heat and then the lid flies open when they get it to the truck. The fumes are downright combustible, on top of eye-watering. Let Alexa give me any static when I’m on the throne, reading the latest issue of Field & Stream, and she goes out with it.

Some people just can’t understand the new tech.

"My brother has one and I give constant outrageous requests to it anytime I am near."

Alexa, play Howard Dean's infamous scream three times, at full volume, at 3:30 am next Saturday morning!)

"Voice commanded flush, such as "big log and TP pile", or "just a little pee", could save water and also perform when needed."

Alexa, please flush this rabid Dachshund down the toilet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps I was vague. I’m saying they promise you stupid perks if you by one of Alexa’s many surveillance appliances. I know they are retail giants, but their biggest product is information and lies. Hard to say what’s creepiest - the fact that Alexa can recognize your face IN THE DARK, or that Alexa watches your home inside and out (security system) and employees can view/listen to what goes on there.
