Kohler Launches $600 iPhone-Connected Toilet Camera That Monitors Your Health Through Waste Analysis

[NrFive]

Everything comes down to poo

 

[Innovati0n]

A camera that’s job is literally to take crap pictures.

I thought that was the iPhone Air

I'M KIDDING! Before the Air Clan attacks me.

Sounds nasty, but you should actually check your pets waste, too. Even when walking your dog (or especially, and bag it, too!)
This product might sound too over the top, but your waste tells you a lot about your health.
Responsible owners know something is off with their pets/livestock when their waste is a certain way.

Yup, I'm always telling my dogs Good Girl!, Good Boy! when they have healthy poops. 😃

If farts could be captured by a camera, I suppose the iPhone Air would be a good name for such a device.

So they made the smart pipe, basically

This is exactly what I thought of what I read about this! Comedy turned reality.

Gives a whole new meaning to that old Live Leak website...

Name and humor check out

All jokes aside and the toddler in me has appreciated them all, I wonder if something like this might be covered by a health plan eventually since it could detect a medical condition early. Similar to Apple's (and other company's) watches that detect atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and other conditions early since you're wearing the thing 24/7.

They should integrate this into a bidet.

We could all be living in the Shetaverse.

We already are, mate. We already are.

Fine, but when are they going to give us the toilet tech we REALLY want: a scale that will tell us exactly how big that last monster poo was. For bragging rights.

A camera. In my toilet. On a subscription plan.
I do not like this modern world.

Wait until Russian hackers start selling pics to TMZ.

Making it easier for people to post their poop on ratemypoo.com

In the old KGB days (and maybe now) they used to divert the sewage from dissidents because they would flush their notes.

I’m not that surprised as I was born in what used to be a former eastern bloc.

 

[techfirth]

Imagine working in support for this company. That’s gotta be a pretty crappy gig…

 

[beautyहमempty]

Does it also review the noises you make?

 

[dylanwho]

Chuck Berry would approve.

"Why won't you kiss me?"

 

[Crowbot]

That's fascinating.
I'd be stunned if similar things aren't happening now in the digital realm.

I think folks toggling around their "privacy" settings and "deleting their data from the cloud" are living in a delusion if they think either of those things are meaningfully protecting their data, at least from government actors at the minimum.

Right. I don't pretend that I'm safe when I do it. I can't protect myself from the top tier spies but maybe the second tier.

In the movie "The Last Emproer" there was a scene where the little king was sitting on a potty. After he was done a court functionary pulled out the bowl, rolled it around, sniffed it and yelled out "More meat!!" Funny.

This was one development team where no one was concerned about them violating their NDA's.
