This is too dystopian for even Black Mirror. I propose we refer to this as, Brown Mirror.
We, as a civilisation, have finally made the FlushMe app real. Well done.
The expanded form of this sentence:
Toilet won’t give you loo roll unless you visit an arbitrary web page on your personal device and allow people to possibly extract personal information about you, along with implicit knowledge of when and where you might have used a toilet.
Apparently it’s unwise to forget your handy 12" pry bar when shitting in China? Those TP dispensers aren’t exactly Fort Knox to begin with, just try withholding it from me after I take a massive dump.
Pocket Dremel.
I’d shit on the floor and break the screen.
-1 social credit score -1 social credit score -1 social credit score -1 social credit score -1 social credit score -1 social credit score -1 social credit score
Fable’s morality system was actually realistic if you assume it’s depicting what it’s like to be rich and privileged.
The -1 score made me think of how it wouldn’t matter if you could just donate money to get it back.
Get schwifty!
Get Schwifty is back! Too good for a Grammy!
Just the screen? I’d have that entire thing in pieces before I left.
But someone, totally not me, shat on the floor. You’d have to smell that for a while.
It’s extreme but so is the situation
I’ll allow it
better idea, bring a small pry bar in your purse
The p***?
Time to get creative
How’s this news? Are paid toilets a novel concept to people?
They’re illegal in the US.
Actually I understand the point of this, and it’s not just to make money. I have read in several places that many public toilets in China have a problem of people stealing all the toilet paper to use at home. That means you basically have to bring your own toilet paper because there won’t be any in the stall. This is a way of fixing that.
…and it’s not to make money.
Then why have adverts? Why not just a button on a timer? Don’t delude yourself.
I’m not saying it’s totally altruistic. I’m saying it is not just about money.
what a take
Easy words for somebody who has never experienced a stall without any toilet paper
Yeah, no, this is purely about money
Society creates a situation where something as basic as toilet paper becomes an expense someone can’t afford so they steal it and you understand the point of them doing this… I don’t think you do.
I can understand that. Doesn’t make it okay to steal from the public stall though. That’s not stealing from some big faceless business, that’s stealing from your fellow human who will then come to the stall and have no toilet paper.
