San Francisco city officials recently unveiled a new, self-cleaning toilet designed to reflect San Francisco values. The city's Department of Public Works stated via press release that the "next-generation restrooms are environmentally sustainable, brighter and easier to keep clean."
Unfortunately, like many of the city's residents, the magical toilet quit working within a few days of its debut. The so-called "Amenipod," touted by the San Francisco Chronicle as the "future of public toilets," had been installed on the outskirts of Embarcadero Plaza and was opened to the public on November 23. It broke down three days later.
I was under the impression that San Francisco itself was "the future of public toilets," based on the staggering amount of human excrement on several of the city's streets and walkways.
Sustainable defecation seems a perfect metaphor for what's happening in — and to — America today...courtesy of the Democrat-Socialist Party. Although, on second thought, it isn't sustainable in the long run.
If our leaders continue to buy into wokeism and anti-capitalism, we may someday soon "achieve" Soviet-style incompetence and malfunction.
These "next-generation restrooms" may or may not prove to be unusable when exposed to the real world. The bigger problem by far is that America may be figuratively in the crapper before long.
In related news, supervisors in San Francisco recently voted to give city police the go-ahead to use potentially lethal remote-controlled robots in emergency situations. This authorization followed an emotionally charged debate among the politically liberal board members over support for law enforcement.
While the San Francisco Police Department says it has no plans to arm the robots with guns, the department could deploy robots equipped with explosive charges "to contact, incapacitate, or disorient violent, armed or dangerous suspects" when lives are at stake, according to Allison Maxie, SFPD spokesperson.

I guess “the future” was only three days.
Is this the $1.7M toilet?

And how about teaching the bums in SF how to use a toilet? Again, lefties fail to understand the problem.
Well… there’s always the sidewalk.
It’s not a bug; it’s a feature.
I thought the people were happy to squat in the streets like dogs.
Toilet of the three days into the future.
Pretty well confirms great future for plumbing repair, if you ask me.
Just go with Franch-style pissoirs, and very sustainable composting toilets.
There, fixed.
~ Or else take the homeless off the streets...
and stop making a public nuisance a virtue signal.
How could they tell it was broke?
Okay, so the super-toilet failed. Maybe they should re-tool those police robots to pick up street poop.
Side note to San Francisco: Be sure to disable the lethal features of those robots. You don’t want a lot of expensive lawsuits.
Not a problem. SF will spend $25 million fixing the toilet and $250 million for a research and development program to develop improved versions. A win-win solution.
"How many million$ was just flushed down the terlit over this scheme?"
Lol, when $hit hits the fan, goes to reset....it’s called an outhouse. Start digging fools
Any time they spend lots of money on bright ideas like this I think of the thing about casting pearls before swine.
Mission accomplished. The people that built the toilets got their oodles of money.
The lethal robots will be much better at detecting life signs and can be programmed to be sure there are none. They can do it quickly. Make sure the target is dead and there will be fewer lawsuits.
