Does it incorporate Smart Pipe™ technology?

I need one with a buttplug chooser and automatic insertion system... For a friend.

I have a toilet seat that opens for me when I walk up, lights up the bowl for me, is heated, has an air filter for smells, a bidet and blow dryer, and closes when I leave. Might as well give it a pulse-ox and ECG while I'm at it.

I've never really believed in the effectiveness of the air filter. What has been your experience with it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you just have the seat paired with a normal American toilet, I don't think it does much. But the seat with the Toto toilet, which has FAR less water in the bowl when doing your business, is very effective when things don't go off to the side or not fully underwater. It's always annoyed me how much smellier toilets can be in Europe if you miss the deep but narrow "chute."

Interesting, thank you

For those long sits where your legs might get numb, try supporting your weight from the feet. Like squatting with your ass only touching the toilet seat instead of resting on it.

What am I some kind of triathlete here. I've already given all my energy to push in there's none left for squatting.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Squatting, shitting...what's the third event? Scrolling on your phone? The Indolent Ironman.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I do that all the time, squatting helps with pooping in general anyways

uBlock Origin, to be specific. I don't know if it's still a thing, but uBlock used to be not good in comparison to uBlock Origin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Both are originally from the same author.

The old ublock got taken over by some asshole who removed credit and added shady monetization.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

i currently use ublock origin on firefox. the cookie disclaimer on the site does not allow a mandatory-cookies-only approach. it reads that you must allow them to use your data for sale/tracking

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I just discovered (thanks to this site) that you can click the uBlock Origin icon, then "enter element zapper mode" (the lightning bolt). It just gets rid of whatever you want to disappear.

Great! Now we combine it with the Toilet Death Ejector to make it automatic ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9BjJkqybz8

Weird. I only seem to get AFib when I eat Chipotle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Seems like there might be a better way to go about this...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if it started as a joke.

"Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?"

"The toilet!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm being downvoted, but very serious. There's a great product by Kardia that is handheld, and can be used in a lot of different configurations. It would be easy to adopt that to a harness you wear all day to record your EKG and not just while sitting on the shitter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That sounds like a Holter monitor with more steps.
