    But, you don’t understand the toilet. The toilet cannot be monetized if we cannot see you taking a poo. Changing the glass doors will completely kill a trillion dollar industry.

    By using this toilet you “agree” consent to our updated reams of legal mumbo jumbo designed to overwhelm you, and which chips away at your rights and hands them over to us.

    If you click “disagree”, you are free to have your gallbladder feel as if it is going to burst, which may cause internal damage that is NOT our responsibility.

    This restroom service has been brought to you by the techbro suits eyeing that new Learjet for unlimited weekend cocaine-and-hookers trips to Vegas and the Caribbean.

      If you click “disagree”, we will immediately close this app, and issue no refunds. If agreement is optional then we will ask you again every four minutes for eternity, or until you consent, whichever comes first.

      They install cameras and sell the feed access to the highest bidder.

      They force you to watch a 30 second ad for each wad of toilet paper used

      You can pee for free, but pooing requires you to sign up with your email address and credit card.

      You get regular notifications informing which of your friends are pooing nearby.

      Invite 3 friends to get 1 month premium pooing for free.

      Get an ultra yearly subscription and you get a frosted glass cubicle for enhanced privacy (camera feed remains in cubicle)

      So assuming they are… I’m still stuck at “why is this a thing?” Why do we need magicchange glass when particle board is far cheaper? I would have to be in dire straits to use one of these as my bowels would freeze up for fear of the glass switching to clear when someone jiggles the handle

        There’s a lot of things that people do that aren’t for practical reasons. That’s why all our homes aren’t just concrete cubes. Somebody must have decided that this looks cool and futuristic.

        Strictly from practical reasons, I suppose it’s marginally easier and faster to identify a free stall. Whether that is worth the extra cost is subjective.

        Also, the default state for this glass is frosted. In case of a failure it all becomes frosted.

    Oh man there is (or was, I’m too lazy to check) a restaurant in Philly that had walls that were transparent when you were outside the bathroom but when you locked the door became opaque from the outside but were still transparent from the inside and it was WEIRD pissing in there. Paranoia to the max

    This one of those fancy glasses that is no longer see through once you lock the door? That would be a genius way of telling which toilets are empty.

    Nar, I don’t think that’s quite right. I reckon it’s more like nice looking cubicles (with normal walls) but also lots of cameras from all different angles.
