This makes we want to buy a bunch of Bluetooth stickers and stick them in random objects
Can somebody explain to me why this needs Bluetooth?

Be the change you want to pee.

Thanks I hate it (or like it).

Serious answer: it’s a “smart” urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.
If you’re in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.
tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Unserious Answer: it counts the fluid as it passes, because the last counting guy kept getting the count wrong and so people would grossly overpay/underpay when they used the urinal

To alert staff when customers have eaten the cake and it needs to be replenished
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cheaper than running plumbing
chetradley@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just be careful you don’t accidentally connect your earbuds to it.
WagnasT@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Because USB would be gross

Wrong community, this should be in pissposting

You would be surprised what some are capable of

How else are you gonna get the pictures off it?
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If they wanted pictures of a bunch of cocks why not just put the camera in your moms mouth?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean…they could just go on omegle.
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For many things. For IR or heat activated urinals you can set the sensitivity when they actuate, the flush volume, schedule regular cleaning cycles, and probably a half dozen other things.

Where is this? Rimworld?

A stadium large theater could have more than just a few.

For pee counters and penis size statistics. Both very important in the world of science about the penis and the pee.

You mean PeeTube? PeeTube is also the name of the astronaut pee device based pee device that doesn’t need video to measure your penis length. Simply insert your penis into the spring loaded tube (it’s just a tube with lots of springs in it). As your penis skin touches the springs, the penis length is measured. The current model is a 256SpT (Springs per Tube), which allows for a penis length resolution in 12"/256 increments.

It’s how we know pee is stored in the balls.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Jokes on them dicks too small for sensors
BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It needs to sell the pee data to advertisers.
MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
So it knows if you’re subscribed to urinal services.
ChadCMulligan@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s got a built in speaker you can pair your phone to if you have an official pee song, mine is CombatCircus, by Talco
Sounds dumb but once you’re synced up it’s hands free and the experience is really relaxing
EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is the most realistic sounding explanation and I’m really gullible
wabafee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Bluetooth Device is ready to pair!
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 1 year ago
hands-free? explain.
Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The difference in usage that badboy would get during a football game versus a gig at the same stadium would be enormous. Things like flush cycle frequency and when to turn the system on/off to conserve water. Nothing massively sinister - boring facility management stuff mostly.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
i’m gonna hack the urinal to make it flush in people’s faces
niktemadur@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For the blockchain.
Now can somebody explain to me why this needs the blockchain?
Pee-powered shitcoin mining!
Or would that rather be… pisscoin?werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 year ago
30 years later… Today is a day that will leave in yellow infamy! As pisscoin collapses, many drunkards and even regular people are finding creative ways of pissing outside the American standard urinal!
TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Did you ever think about how there is an average penis size measurement?
EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
So the penis inspectior that shows up at my house two times a month is a fraud?
tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Maybe finally someone will take into account Yaw
over_clox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a subscription based water cooler, obviously.
atro_city@fedia.io 1 year ago
There's no tap anywhere to fill the glass.
over_clox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The valve is underneath silly.
nifty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s so you can connect to the pee cam in the urinal and broadcast it as you pee
oo1@lemmings.world 1 year ago
it’s called taking a “selfpee”
sexy_peach@feddit.org 1 year ago
Wireless pee
dutchkimble@lemy.lol 1 year ago
It’s so they can collect big data on the quality of pee of everyone
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
You ever play Death Stranding? It’s so they can turn your pee into grenades that harm ghosts.
Venator@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
That’s how they make the water cool 😎
cheddar@programming.dev 1 year ago
To transfer your pee via bluetooth, obviously.
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We call it “streaming”.
FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 1 year ago
It sells better
shneancy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
oh god, how long until we see AI powered urinals?
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Wireless pissing
fubarx@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
So you can play your favorite, relaxing playlist.
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My guess is tagging employees when they service the bathrooms.
WereCat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
To stream piss from you into the devive
MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I knew the sink used Bluetooth, but the urinal is new.
Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Everything is better with Bluetooth, obviously
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
According to their website, it is so the toilet can be paired to a Sanela control app which apparently can be used to control certain functional aspects of the urinal, as well as gives quick access to user manuals
Now if only we could find a way to hack this app, so that the toilet plays “It’s Raining Men” every time it flushes… Now that would be something
plactagonic@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah you’re right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.
Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Wait till they load it with ‘AI.’
Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
unreachable@lemmy.world 1 year ago
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
One very cool thing would be a urinal that does internal health checks on your piss and allows you to access that on your phone. But yeah bluetooth is a shit choice for that too.
Zier@fedia.io 1 year ago
BT can be used to track people. Maybe they need to know how many people are using it? Or they are stalking men who pee.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Was it necessary to take the picture while looking the person in the eye at the urinal next to you while they were attempting to have a non anxiety ridden moment forcing them to not be able to pee?
MTK@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Finally! It’s always disgusting to touch those public urinal manuals 🤢

this’s like that fancy japanese toilet South Park episode, and my peasant ass will never know what it’s like to piss like a Kennedy
