QuilotoaPublic restrooms in Osaka to get in-stall video screens with ads
CerebralHawksPlaces have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.
Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.
How I met my wife.
The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.
If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.
at least that wont be a pile of e waste in a few years.
TheFeatureCreatureThese will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.
Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.
In Japan, though? In the states, oh they’re already destroyed. But Japan?
Do you think crime, hooliganism, or protesting doesn’t exist in Japan?
Go to a random place in Osaka in google street view right now and see how long it takes you to find ANY graffiti.
Shove your strawman up your ass, it’s a different culture.
Diffefent from which one? Do you think that there are only two cultures in the world? 🙃
I don’t use google, and don’t know how relevanf graffiti is to discussion about displays in toilets.
The comment you were strawmanning literally has two countries in it. Maybe if you try really hard you can figure it out from context.
Maybe if you set aside another 20 minutes you might figure out how one type of vandalism might correlate to another type of vandalism.

You are dumb as hell, I’m blocking you.
SailorFuzzYou see their username, right? The most weaboo of weaboo shit? Of course they have completely misguided opinions on their anime paradise.
I’ll take the ads but only because the next step up this escalation ladder is adding cameras and almost nobody wants that.

be a shame if people constantly smeared shit on the screen.
SwifferWetjetNobody from there for sure. Peak tourism season though?😬
Just hang some toilet paper over it
whyNotSquirrelis there TP in Japan?
inariYou have never seen Japanese porn in this case…
Pretty sure I saw advertisements on screens in bathrooms in American nightclubs and bars over twenty years ago. I think they didn’t have one per cubicle, though.
FireWire400Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.
Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…

MubelotixOops the screen got smashed in, I wonder how that happened?
The computers in the restroom are literally free, you can just take them. It’s a free computer with a screen!
krispyavuzToo good to be true 🤩
Luminous5481 "Lawless Heathen" [they/them]Yes, put screens in a restroom where I can put a knife through them while shitting and nobody is gonna know.
I’ve been finding more restaurants restrooms have TV screens but usually they are playing cartoons or somehow NickAtNite reruns which I had no idea still existed.
For sports bars with event nights it is kind if useful, so you don’t feel like you’ve missed the entertainment. I’ve only seen TVs like that on the waiting area of a casino bathroom once though.
Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves is this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.

🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 Ads to go along with some entertainment while I poop, right? Right?
The paper is already there, the glue will arrive soon…
That’s the one I meant.
Is it still illegal to have cameras in the bathroom? Because hammers and spray paint are cheap and easily concealable.
I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.
The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won’t be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.
