Excuse me, a toilet camera‽
What a waste of money.
I just upload videos of me shitting directly to German porn sites, and then read the comments to see if I have anything to worry about.

They’re literally using people’s shitting and pissing to train AI.
But isn’t AI already shitty enough by itself??
What kind of lunatic is gonna buy an online enabled toilet camera to monitor their shits?
Just wait for Law enforcement to get access to it. You know its coming.
“This shit has nuts in it. says the prosecution. Proving that they did not have a nut allergy. The prosecution rests.”
What kind of lunatic is going to covertly monitor someone else’s shits?
I mean, it is encrypted between their end and your… uh… end. Just not encrypted at their end.
I wonder who has to review the logs. That would be a shit job.
End-to-End? More like ass-to-ass
Heh logs.
You fixed my crappy morning, much appreciated.
Heh shit.
Toilet cameras. Every time I think to myself that humanity’s intellectual capacity has hit a new low, reality proves me wrong.
🤣 Equally as dumb was a while back some wifi bed that refused to expand or collapse or something without internet, so people couldn’t sleep on it while the sever was down
I remember when cameras in toilets were a thing that women lived in fear of, especially in public toilets.
Now its a thing we’re buying from corporations to give them HD live stream of the same thing.
Walking into a meeting at Kohler and keeping a straight face after saying the words “toilet camera”–and then maintaining that straight face throughout the product’s discussion, greenlighting, development, manufacture, and sale–deserves an Oscar.
Just so I am clear, nobody has made the pun “end-to-end-to-end encryption” yet? Really?
In Swedish, ända till ända
I remember when toilet cameras were illegal and only on porn sites.
Guess everything changes when there’s money to be made.
Which means that it’s not end-to-end encrypted. It’s HTTPS encrypted, which is different.
If it was truly end-to-end encrypted, the only person who could access it would be you, and all they would get would be garbled mess.
Toliet camera…for $600 camera with a monthly subscription… might as well just go to a doctor weekly with stool samples if you care this much about your rectal health. I can’t see this being popular outside of a very niche group of patients that need it
I don’t think anybody needs this. Hypochondriacs are the only market I can see.
that’s special
Oh cool. The CEO is played by Mark Proksch. Didn’t know who he was back when this first aired.
It’s always fun when that happens
…no, I don’t think I will.
You know the only thing more ridiculous than buying a toilet with a built in camera?
In October Kohler launched Dekota, a $600 (plus monthly subscription) device that attaches to the rim of your toilet and collects images and data from inside
Buying a camera to attach to an existing toilet, that has a monthly device fee that costs more than a fucking toilet does.
