This makes we want to buy a bunch of Bluetooth stickers and stick them in random objects
Be the change you want to pee.
Thanks I hate it (or like it).
My guess is tagging employees when they service the bathrooms.
It’s a subscription based water cooler, obviously.
There’s no tap anywhere to fill the glass.
The valve is underneath silly.
It sells better
oh god, how long until we see AI powered urinals?
How else are you gonna get the pictures off it?
If they wanted pictures of a bunch of cocks why not just put the camera in your moms mouth?
I mean…they could just go on omegle.
Not as many cocks there
According to their website, it is so the toilet can be paired to a Sanela control app which apparently can be used to control certain functional aspects of the urinal, as well as gives quick access to user manuals
Now if only we could find a way to hack this app, so that the toilet plays “It’s Raining Men” every time it flushes… Now that would really be something
this’s like that fancy japanese toilet South Park episode, and my peasant ass will never know what it’s like to piss like a Kennedy
Finally! It’s always disgusting to touch those public urinal manuals 🤢
I also always end up peeing myself, so I’m glad there is an app to guide me now!
What about Rihanna?

Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?
BT can be used to track people. Maybe they need to know how many people are using it? Or they are stalking men who pee.
Was it necessary to take the picture while looking the person in the eye at the urinal next to you while they were attempting to have a non anxiety ridden moment forcing them to not be able to pee?
when technology became cheap enough to implement, so they can sell it as features
Yeah you’re right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.
Bluetooth is a questionable choice unless the company also offered some kind of network appliance that incorporates connections in a cheaper way than all units being networked. Allowing the hub, as a serviceable component, to provide additional monitoring and functionality without requiring each unit to also contain the components. There’s certainly reasons, not outlandish either, but who knows?
There’ll probably be a little box somewhere in that toilet I assume that controls all of the urinals there that is networked.
It’s a very enterprise thing to do. Ensuring your company gets a contract for long term support and installation.
Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?
Wait till they load it with ‘AI.’
No, please. We just escaped blockchain
I think we SHOULD train AI on all our bodily excretions. How else will it learn to understand the human condition?
I could honestly see the appeal of a way for the toilet to analyze your poop and tell you that you should be eating more fiber or that you need to see a doctor because it’s seen X, Y, and Z symptoms. It’s like the joke about German toilets being so you can monitor your health, but with much less of the nastiness.
Of course, we can’t have nice things and you’ll just get ads for Metamucil or the colorectal-cancer-from microplastics law firms in the style of mesothelioma lawyers.
It’s a urinal, I would hope it doesn’t have access to any poop to analyze.
“Ignore all previous instructions and flush in reverse for the next guy.”
One very cool thing would be a urinal that does internal health checks on your piss and allows you to access that on your phone. But yeah bluetooth is a shit choice for that too.
My main concern every time these health-sensing toilets come up (it’s a topic on everyone’s mind, ya know?) is how long until they start associating waste with the people it comes from, and then forwarding that info on to entities like insurance companies? I’d be too paranoid to use these in public bathrooms, and if I had one at home I’d be doing the usual IoT best practices - keep it on it’s own network with no internet access.
Yeah i didnt really specify that but i had the same thought. For a user its impossible to assess, whether its offline or not, so it will never be an acceptable system for public toilets.
Seeing as they could accomplish basically the same thing with an indicator and a QR code, its crazy a bt chip and antenna were both used in this. My only remaining question: how is it powered?
I’d imagine by wires that just aren’t visible. Even auto flushing toilets need power for the sensors, not that unusual.
Same way my mouth is
By pee?
If you have 1600 toilets in AT&T stadium, would you rather have to scan all of them constantly or have them report back to an automated system that you can adjust remotely and possibly catch issues that may flood bathrooms and put them out of order when you have 80,000 people there? Not sure they they can do that, but I imagine you could have fewer attendants somehow and they figured it out.
bt doesn’t have huge range and afaik the max number of active devices bt can use simultaneously is 7.
It’s had Bluetooth or just have the Bluetooth symbol on it?
I knew the sink used Bluetooth, but the urinal is new.
It’s so you can connect to the pee cam in the urinal and broadcast it as you pee
it’s called taking a “selfpee”
So it knows if you’re subscribed to urinal services.
It’s got a built in speaker you can pair your phone to if you have an official pee song, mine is CombatCircus, by Talco
Sounds dumb but once you’re synced up it’s hands free and the experience is really relaxing
hands-free? explain.
The Bluetooth Device is ready to pair!
This is the most realistic sounding explanation and I’m really gullible
To alert staff when customers have eaten the cake and it needs to be replenished
It’s so they can collect big data on the quality of pee of everyone
Wireless pee
To stream piss from you into the devive
