Wait: pretty soon, Democrats will insist that mail-in “crap votes” must all be counted.

And those votes will have the same value as the current mail-in votes do: around zero.

No Thanks, I do not want Uranus ice cream.

“money might be made riding the tech wave.”

No doubt. Just ask Elizabeth Holmes.

“if it is so smart why is it swallowing crap?...”

LOL...now THAT is a very good question! A REALLY smart toilet would say “I ain’t swallowing your crap anymore. I’m outta here.”

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

When this toilet develops consciousness, it’ll be madder than hell and won’t take no $#!+ from anyone.

Something new to hack

[Vaduz]

The smart toilet that identifies the user democrat democrat democrat...............................................

The ones who are full of it use it the most.

No no no no NO!

It took me a while to use the toilets in japan that shoot warm water there to clean the bum. I do not want Face ID tech in my john.

jeez louise

and how many folks will avoid it - there are so many tests that can be run on feces/urine to monitor health, and catch things when your body is acting poorly and health conditions change, I actually bet these will become mainstream someday (for home use).

Most do not understand that testing testing testing leads to interventions that you did not need and those interventions do more damage than good.

[Albion Wilde]

This is one type of digital info I would not like to see going viral. But you know it will. It will be a click gold mine for hackers.

[corkoman]

further... who does the monitoring? If it is a healthcare person there is an OBLIGATION to intervene if on any parameter there is an Out-Of-Range value - the HCP has to "do something" else they are legal liable.

Hence the current bizzaro situation where most grey hair HCPs are like "dont test unless you are already willing to intervene",

Thank you lawyers!

—”Will we be able to vote from the toilet?”

YES!
Kind of/ sort of.

The toilet will vote in your place.
Not to worry.
It’s got AI! Very smart!

The obvious gift for an anal hypochondriac who likes to be in the vanguard.

I warned everyone about this. A combination of Big Data, plague panic, and the Internet Of Everything will combine to create a surveillance state of oppression the likes of which we haven't known since we were six years old and Mom was in charge.

Once I realize my terlit has been talking to the grocery store database I hear the clacking sound of the delivery bot filling my smart fridge. "Whazzis?" I ask the fridge as I spy the beer shelf occupied by some strange packages. "Green leafy veggies," it replies in a tinny voice. "Eat them up or no dessert." I hear the lock on the smart door clicking shut. "Also early bed time until your poo gets better. And don't go out through the window, it's locked too, and every bar in town has yer anal print anyway." Orwell could not have improved on this nightmare.

Who did the R&D on that throne?

“Who did the R&D on that throne?”

Cheap labor graduate students who dare not say “no.”

[whitney69]

I guess this is leading to the liberal supporting of the famous saying, “Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it is approximately what you put into it.”

Will you be able to vote from the toilet???

OF COURSE!

Just wait: pretty soon, Democrats will insist that mail-in “crap votes” must all be counted.

And those votes will have the same value as the current mail-in votes do: around zero.
