This is not a joke. It’s a look at the future.

#Capitalism #Enshittification

@breadandcircuses Present day: LED lights. Donwload the app to control the colors.
@breadandcircuses Subscription account. First day free, then only $1 per flush…

@jCarttarBrooke @breadandcircuses

Like the early cell phones, $49.99/mo gets you 30 flushes and each additional flush is on 3.99 more

@jCarttarBrooke @breadandcircuses it's not a problem, poorer people can flush once a week
@pjakobs @jCarttarBrooke @breadandcircuses You can omit flushing after peeing, but multiple shits without flushing will get you a clogged toilet.

@1000millimeter

don't you worry, the FlushMe App will be updated, and a state of the art cloud AI will make sure that the toilet is flushed in just the right moment.

Flush-AI in the Sewer-Cloud. Your smart loo!

@jCarttarBrooke @breadandcircuses

@breadandcircuses And yet the future is already here. Can we just admit that auto flushing toilets, sinks, etc.are the definition of abject failure? I'm not a fuckin' vampire!!!! Do something!
@breadandcircuses right out of Philip K Dick's Ubik.
@breadandcircuses I bet the subscription is very reasonable!
@breadandcircuses Looking at the future, you guessed it, get our app.
@breadandcircuses I thought there would be three shells where the toilet paper used to be. 😉
@breadandcircuses "We've had a great time with flushing via the flushme app, but now we are going to pivot to prunejuiceme, your flushme app will stop working tomorrow."
@jfrench @breadandcircuses Unfortunately, legacy toilets are unsupported. Please talk to your reseller about your hardware upgrade options...
@breadandcircuses
Or shit in a bucket of sawdust, compost as humanure.
@breadandcircuses They can't advertise on a handle!
@breadandcircuses Ah but there is ALWAYS a flush pedal ( not kidding check the pic)... when there is a will there is a way !
@breadandcircuses Throw a bucket of water into it and refuse to install the app 😎
@breadandcircuses Wasn't it AI which will be controling our toilets?
Obviously including shooting toilet paper against our butts to wipe us clean...
@breadandcircuses it will also analyse your poo and send the appropriate reports to the appropriate enforcement agencies and assign credits or demerits to your social credit account.

@breadandcircuses

Looking forward to the next AWS outage and all the toilets back up and bidets start shooting water into the bathroom...

@breadandcircuses digging up latrines sounds like a fun activity
@breadandcircuses "imperial plumbing" on his back is double fitting (can be a reference both to the USA and to an evil empire)

@breadandcircuses

It's free... for now. But once we have enough users, we will charge $5 a month and you can bet that will be going up every year.

@breadandcircuses "please subscribe now for more premium features like our new flush.AI! Comes with 20 AI-flushes per month inclusive."
@breadandcircuses never mind the future, it's the now. 'smart' toilets already exist. I'm sure I read a thread where an entire product line stopped flushing due to a server failure.
@breadandcircuses we literally need an app to install air conditioners now
Is that really going to flush out the things with the help of an app.. ! 🤔😀😀
@breadandcircuses Future? Can you not already get these in Japan?
@breadandcircuses I hesitate to look if there are already toilets that can be flushed via app because I fear that I might find some.
@Habrok42 @breadandcircuses
Some of the Geberit Aquaclean toilet/bidet have an automatic flush and can controlled by an app. Dont know if the flush can be controlled by the app.
@breadandcircuses and the option to have a small flush is an in app purchase
@breadandcircuses Upgrade to FlushMe Pro© for just $15/month and you can flush up to 3 times per day!!!
@breadandcircuses I don't call the shots in my house and my kid railroaded us into a digital toaster. It's driving me nuts, especially as I'm the only who makes toast in the household. It requires multiple button pushes to wake it up and select the toast option and does a poor job of toasting. I wake up every morning thinking of e-waste.

@breadandcircuses

This is the graphic I made the last time FlushMe app was trending.

@breadandcircuses I guess @geerlingguy sees himself in this picture and doesn't like it!

Seriously the day I need an app to take a shit I'll go full apeshit!

I won't connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud

@breadandcircuses
Yes, that is where we are going.
@breadandcircuses
Talk at a prison cell at Alcatraz:
- for what you got here, dude?
- For hacking.
- Computers?
- No, my toilet.
- TOILET? Why?!
- Just wanted to flush it in an old-fashioned way. Without a fucking app.
- Respect.
@breadandcircuses sorry but FlushMe recently went out of business so your toilet is bricked. And it’s illegal to unlock it.
@breadandcircuses the customer looks like Bill Gates so I don’t feel so bad about this

@breadandcircuses

Walked by a McDonald's today where the sign says you have to use their app to get a drink at a reduced price.

Companies that desperate to decline your money, deserve to go out of business.

McDonald's shuts down its spin-off CosMc's as sales lag

McDonald's is closing its line of CosMc's drink shops after less than three years. McDonald's reported lagging sales earlier this month.

Duravit BT app. On compatible toilets, there are soft buttons for Big and Small Flush.

@ysegrim @breadandcircuses Well that's a toilet that can do a bit more than just flush...
@breadandcircuses My toilet doesn't have an app, but it does have a remote.
@breadandcircuses The future is already here. I bought a 2024 Toyota. It has remote start, but the remote doesn't have a button to start the car. You have to install an app and pay a subscription fee of $15 monthly. I'm pissed, but I don't need remote start bad enough to pay $180 a year.
@tzudad @breadandcircuses Sorry, what is remote start needed for? Preheat/Cool?
@1000millimeter @breadandcircuses Yes, that's all it does. I don't let my car run for the fun of it, but I do like to start it when temps are really high or low. I give my car 30 seconds to warm up while I walk across the parking lot. It's starting to cool off or warm up but not wastefully idling for more than a minute.
@tzudad @breadandcircuses When it's hot, what I do is open all windows at first, also for like the first 500m of driving or so, to get the heated up inside temperatur down to outside temperatur. Faster than letting AC do this. After that AC takes over.
@1000millimeter @breadandcircuses Remote start isn't evil. The weather can be perfect, but I still give my car 30 seconds to settle down after starting. I also leave my front windows open about an inch to help keep temps down while parked.
