The company's new Dekoda toilet accessory is like a little bathroom detective.

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ Enshitification? More like shit identification!
@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ that has to be a German company, right? Germans are weird about poop, what with the poop shelf in the toilet and all.
@swelljoe @SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ When you reach the age that you have to take samples for cancer detection, that shelf does come in handy. Wish I had one.
@gunchleoc @swelljoe @SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ Sorry, serious question: No cam up your bottoks needed anymore? Just reaching the particular age ;)
@stiller_leser @swelljoe @SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ I this might depend on your particular age or family health history as well, I'm no expert.
@stiller_leser @gunchleoc @swelljoe @SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ depends on your risk tolerance, a colonoscopy will catch polyps sooner and the remove them when they find them while you're still out so with rising colon cancer rates and only limited insight into the individual risk profile the cam is not a bad choice at all

Hahahahaha🀣 πŸ˜‚ 🀣 I struggled reading this out loud because my husband and I were laughing so much.

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_

πŸ˜‚ 🀣 Sure I'm going to trust a toilet manufacturer to keep my daily deposit data secure. 🀣
Oh my...never in my younger wildest dreams had I imagined anything that laughable.

The only possible reply to this is "no shit."

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ The most egregious part of this is that you actually PAY THEM to spy on you shitting!

Seriously! It's a SUBSCRIPTION!!!

I'd say they could get my info by paying me $25k/year. If they agreed, then I'd make it $100k and so on, just to find out how valuable I am.

Fuck this behaviour.

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ Not sure what to call it, but I am sure the EU comission will push for a #shitcontrol law involving client-side scanning to not break end-to-end-enshitification

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_

Oooh I know exactly who will want to buy those:

The Dept. of Work & Pensions (UK), to be mounted in the house of everyone on benefits because they claim to have inflammatory bowel disorders.

(They don't actually have to work, or anything. It's fine.)

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_

The only response to this is "FUCK NO!".

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ Entoiletify? Ok, I'm out.

I'm gonna wait for the ads to start playing.

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ Please hold it in a moment. Your toilet is updating.

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_

I reached out to a buddy who works on... interesting... engineering projects, and I hit jackpot.

It's even funnier than it may seem by the news articles.

@faraiwe @pluralistic @_L1vY_ thanks for dropping that deuce! 🀯 πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

@SRDas @pluralistic @_L1vY_ I couldn't bring more of the exchange, because contained too much identifiable stuff, and they DO have a job that pays their bills and etc.

But the conversation was MUCH funnier.

How's a camera gonna do that?
