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 2 years 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 2 years ago
Cheaper than running plumbing
chetradley@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Just be careful you don’t accidentally connect your earbuds to it.
WagnasT@lemmy.world 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago
I mean…they could just go on omegle.
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 2 years 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 2 years ago
Jokes on them dicks too small for sensors
BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It needs to sell the pee data to advertisers.
MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
So it knows if you’re subscribed to urinal services.
ChadCMulligan@lemm.ee 2 years 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 2 years ago
This is the most realistic sounding explanation and I’m really gullible
wabafee@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The Bluetooth Device is ready to pair!
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 years ago
hands-free? explain.
Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 years 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 2 years ago
i’m gonna hack the urinal to make it flush in people’s faces
niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago
Did you ever think about how there is an average penis size measurement?
EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
So the penis inspectior that shows up at my house two times a month is a fraud?
tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
Maybe finally someone will take into account Yaw
over_clox@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It’s a subscription based water cooler, obviously.
atro_city@fedia.io 2 years ago
There's no tap anywhere to fill the glass.
over_clox@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The valve is underneath silly.
nifty@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It’s so you can connect to the pee cam in the urinal and broadcast it as you pee
oo1@lemmings.world 2 years ago
it’s called taking a “selfpee”
sexy_peach@feddit.org 2 years ago
Wireless pee
dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 years ago
It’s so they can collect big data on the quality of pee of everyone
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 years ago
You ever play Death Stranding? It’s so they can turn your pee into grenades that harm ghosts.
Venator@lemmy.nz 2 years ago
That’s how they make the water cool 😎
cheddar@programming.dev 2 years ago
To transfer your pee via bluetooth, obviously.
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 years ago
We call it “streaming”.
FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 2 years ago
It sells better
shneancy@lemmy.world 2 years ago
oh god, how long until we see AI powered urinals?
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
Wireless pissing
fubarx@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
So you can play your favorite, relaxing playlist.
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 2 years ago
My guess is tagging employees when they service the bathrooms.
WereCat@lemmy.world 2 years ago
To stream piss from you into the devive
MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I knew the sink used Bluetooth, but the urinal is new.
Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
Everything is better with Bluetooth, obviously
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 years 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 2 years ago
Yeah I know, but is it necessary to give bt connections to everything?
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yeah you’re right, they probably could have just used wifi instead.
Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 2 years ago
Wait till they load it with ‘AI.’
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 years ago
unreachable@lemmy.world 2 years ago
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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
