To be COMPLETELY fair, those are french toilets; “regular” toilet is not defined as the common toilet type depends on where you live.
Here is a Turkish toilet.
That’s just a hole in the floor
Just gonna shit in the AI powered hole in the ground.
all your shits will be uploaded to the cloud btw
And then… shit precipitation. Correct?
Chocolate rain 🎵 🎶
The shit cycle. C’mon people this is grade school Earth science
dont look up
All these GPU fans starting to spin to analyse my diarrhea.
Beef Tallow and the nastiest overprocessed cheese found for the 3rd shit in a row. Contacting google ad framework to run ads on fiber and spike the price of it in all future sales. Connected to smart fridge, increasing temp to spoil remaining meat faster.
Nothing is more based than walking into a Home Depot and shitting in one of the toilets
please don’t actually do that. The hourly
wage slavesemployees don’t deserve to have to clean that up. Most of them are struggling to pay rent just like you and me.There’s better ways to rebel against capitalism but my lawyer advises me not to talk about that.
can we not trivialize slavery when there’s actual slavery still happening?
They’re both forms of actual slavery.
Would you like to tell me what that word means?

Would you like to look up the term, “wage slavery”?
In many respects, being a straight up slave can be better than wage slavery. No pretense of expecting any freedom. No worry about if you’ll have a place to sleep or food to eat. No need to worry about, “what the hell am I going to do if I’m out on the street?”
No, this isn’t to say any kind of slavery is acceptable. It’s to point out that one can be enslaved in more than one way. It is, in fact, slavery of a different sort.
Or are you dumb enough to say indentured servitude isn’t also slavery because there’s a different term for it?
Wait. If you have lawyer-> you are rich-> you are a filthy capitalist-… wait hold on, layer is calling. Uh huh, yes… no, but… yes, yes… ok. He’s telling me not to talk about this
To be fair, high-tech toilets like in Japan are absolutely life-enhancing. IYKYK. But they don’t involve AI thank goodness!
They have so much tech that there’s barely enough room for the hole in the seat to poop through. They’re nice but I wouldn’t get one if I have to sit in an odd way to make to make sure nothing spills out.
Yeah, you don’t know
I know about their heated seats, motion activated lids that lift when you walk in, and built in temperature and mechanically adjustable bidets. I’m just too big for something like that. The toilets are sometimes in their own tiny narrow closets in apartments. Feels like I’m trying to take a shit in a coffin. If it fits your size then congrats, it’s a wonderful experience.
This doesn’t match my experience with them at all - the sizing of them was comparable to the standard sizes found in Sweden where I live, which was more than enough.

Back to the Land… build an outhouse. Lime, woodash, sawdust – are pretty cheap. Winters might get you to repurpose a chamber pot to dump in the outhouse during the day. Get one with a good lid.
Use your neighbors toilet! If it doesn’t have a camera or ass-print scanner, it’ll really through off the data brokers buying up all your shit data so they can sell ads!
Life Hack: don’t plug it in. Ta-Da!
99% of the time this kinda shit is made in a way that it won’t work without being plugged in or connected to wi-fi.
For example, instead of a lever to flush, you get a button. If the software isn’t up to date, the button won’t work.
what if it’s a blender tho?
OMG, they are going to start doing this to AI-powered wifi routers, aren’t they?! :-(
I bought a new stove last year. setting a specific timer or temperature not by 5 is to connect it to WiFi and use the app.
want to set a timer for 13 minutes? fuck you.
want to bake something at 372 degrees? fuck you.
I would have sent it back if it weren’t literally the only one that met all our needs except for the ones we weren’t concerned for.
I agree that it sucks, but curious, what do you bake that needs such precision? (Even if you set it in the app, it’d probably still be ±5 degrees, unless you bought a really special stove)

It’s self powered by a turbine with the flow of the water. It either has a built in cell antenna or searches for an open WiFi hotspot.
This is what pisses me off about capitalism.
If they want to make new scam tech data stealing planned obsolescence trash, fine, and idiots can buy that shit. But then they have the audacity to FORCE us all into it by outright destroying anything else.
Best example, cars. You cannot buy a good car anymore. They are rolling malware that is unfixable by the user and planned to fail. Not to mention, controlled fully by the government/billionaires.
Thats why ill be keeping all my old cars and repairing them, probably forever, since there will never be a good new car again.
But then they have the audacity to FORCE us all into it by outright destroying anything else
That’s because there’s no competition. Capitalism requires competition. Adam Smith thought it was the job of the state to step in and ensure that monopolies were broken up so that capitalism could work.
You cannot buy a good car anymore
There are only 2 US car manufacturers, 3 if you want to count Tesla.
rolling malware that is unfixable by the user
Because they’re weaponizing section 1201 of the DMCA to prevent people from competing with them.
What you hate isn’t capitalism, it’s that you can’t even get capitalism because the government refuses to regulate businesses. For capitalism to work, the state has to ensure that there’s healthy competition in the marketplace. But, when there’s competition a rich person who owns capital might lose. So, a rich person much prefers feudalism or a corporatocracy to capitalism.
So really its corporatism we should hate and not capitalism?
There are TONS of people who would go buy a non-computerized car in a SECOND. I have money, I am one of them. But they refuse to give us a product ? Its baffling!
It’s not baffling when you realize that there are only 2 remaining car manufacturers in the US, and fewer than 20 worldwide.
Look at the number of car companies established just in 1900:
- Auburn: 1900 to 1937
- California Automobile Company: 1900 to 1902
- Massachusetts Steam Wagon Company: 1900 to 1901
- Dodge: 1900 to 1928
- Friedman Automobile Company: 1900 to 1903
- …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Vehicle_manufacturing_companies_established_in_1900
When there are only 2 manufacturers in a space, it’s no surprise if they ignore certain consumers. If there were a hundred different manufacturers like there were in the early 1900s, then there would almost certainly be someone offering something closer to what you want.
If capitalism will always naturally morph into this late stage that seems similar to feudalism, then that’s part of capitalism.
It’s like saying you like playing monopoly but then after all the properties are bought out you turn around and say it’s no longer monopoly.
Nothing is inevitable. Backsliding is always common. Most forms of government tend to backslide towards a strong-man at the top who is above the law. This is exactly what’s happening with the American democratic republic that was previously a mix of capitalism and socialism. That doesn’t mean that a strong man is a natural element of capitalism or democracy or republics or socialism or capitalism. It’s that a strong man who’s above the law is a common feature of human communities.
Pretty much every form of government that allows for more participation by the people being governed tries to put constraints on the rulers. The US called theirs “checks and balances”. The British started with the Magna Carta.
It’s like saying you like playing monopoly but then after all the properties are bought out you turn around and say it’s no longer monopoly.
You’re talking about monopoly, the board game, previously called “the landlord’s game”, a game designed to teach about the dangers of monopolies?
So just because it’s possible for any system to become corrupt that means they are all the same?
I’m claiming that capitalism in particular is one of the most corruptible systems, it’s basically by design.
It tries to harness the power of greed and turn it into positive sum games, which don’t seem to work in practice after early stage capitalism.
It’s an optimization problem, how can we minimize corruptions by changing what forces drive our society. I think greed driving society maximizes corruption and think we should replace that with something else. Saying all systems can become corrupt doesn’t add anything to the task at hand.
You’re claiming that if capitalism tends to backslide into X, then X is part of capitalism. My point is that every system can backslide into something more primitive where a strong man makes the rules. They’re not all the same, so your idea that X is an inevitable part of capitalism is wrong. Capitalism is what we call it when it has a certain set of characteristics. If it no longer has those characteristics it’s no longer capitalism.
I’m claiming that capitalism in particular is one of the most corruptible systems
And you’re wrong. There’s nothing about capitalism that makes it more corruptible than feudalism or oligarchy. In fact, those systems are much more corrupt in general.
It tries to harness the power of greed and turn it into positive sum games
Whereas feudalism doesn’t even try to do that. It just skips the positive sum games part and accepts greed. At least with capitalism there’s an attempt to make things better.
I think greed driving society maximizes corruption
Maximizes corruption? You think capitalism is more corrupt than a strong man system where everybody is forced to constantly flatter and pay tribute to the strong man? A system where the rules are whatever the strong man says, so bribery is baked into everything?
think we should replace that with something else
Sure, let’s do it, what do you propose? And how do we get there from here?
You’re claiming that if capitalism tends to backslide into X, then X is part of capitalism. My point is that every system can backslide into something more primitive where a strong man makes the rules.
I mean, that’s such a broad take, any system can change, doesn’t mean it’s inevitable. My point was that the core mechanism of capitalism, which is the private ownership of capital and means of production, will always concentrate wealth and power further and further.
We have had systems of feudalism and monarchies that have stayed steady for hundreds of years. In pre history, people lived in communes for thousands of years.
What is unique about capitalism is that it must move as fast as possible, hence why it can’t stay steady, thereby it changing to late stage is part of the design (as in you can’t have capitalism without it), whereas any other system does not, through its own mechanism, move towards some kind of endgame.
Enshittification. Heh.
Same, also why I always buy old and used. Thankfully still a lot of low mileage used cars out there, but they’re getting more expensive because it’s no secret that older stuff works better.
Yeah, makes me extra angry about yhe government destroying millions of great cars for the “cash for clunkers” debacle. Looking at the list of destroyed cars infuriates me. All for the billionaire car mfgs to bail out because they’re products are shit.
I sold my 2015 but I kept my 2004. That things fully manual and just keeps going. It’s growing things inside and out from being street parked but there’s no computers, no fobs, no screens.
I’ll invest thousands keeping that thing going until I can bridge the gap to EV. It still gets 35-45 MPG which is better than what’s out there anyway, even most hybrids
If only they made an all analog EV. Id get one so fast. No GPS, no screens.
Its SO EASY to do. They just refuse.
Guess I can always build my own.
I’ve been wishing for modular EV parts that can be build it yourself for ages. I’ve been TOLD that the problem is street legality: parts don’t come with a VIN, parts don’t assure required safety systems. It would be amazing, but for street driving we’d need a massive shift in the legal system to accommodate them
Yet Karen can drive a 9,000 lb deathmobile f750 with a civilian drivers license. Real safe. Makes sense to me.
Of course. Safety systems to keep Karen and her passengers safe. Good luck, everybody else
