Flushing your toilet already has a subscription fee - it's called a 'water bill'
"Jarvis, analyze this shit." "Right away sir. That will be 70 dollars."
literally the last place i would want a camera to be in
As a kid I used to fear little people were in the toilet rating my piss and shit. As an adult I fear once more.
You try to flush but it gets clogged and the toilet says "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
The Lorax prediction where we will eventually have to pay a subscription for air gets ever more likely by the day...
"It only looks down." Disregard that water is reflective...
That headline is crazy cause it makes it sound like, "I just wanna take a lil peek. Whatcha got goin on in there?"
Our parents used to jailbreak consoles, we are gonna jailbreak cameras that analyze our crap
"toilet camera shit analysis subscription" being a legitimate thing you can have and not nonsense word salad is outrageous
