Why on earth is there a gemini watermark on this?

What do you expect a person to go into their own bathroom (of which everyone has) and fake fail to open the toilet (that we all have) with the camera (that we all have on our phones)?!
Unreasonable!

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.Philip K. Dick, Ubik

I wouldn’t consider a toiled a utility service that is delivered to your home, and sewage utility bills are not a thing anywhere I’m aware of.
Kaligalis@lemmy.world 4 days ago
The subscriptions which are actually still hard to avoid are: for a lot of people rent, for Muricans healthcare, power, water, trash, Internet. Parents get a few more and personal liability insurance is also a good idea (but also relatively cheap for most people). The other subscriptions are luxury and easy to just not have.
YawningNostalgia@thelemmy.club 4 days ago
Even your house is a subscription in the US. My mom has to pay over $10,000 yearly in property taxes of her house that’s been paid off for over a decade. If she dies (she’s healthy so not soon, but as a hypothetical) I inherit a house I can’t afford the maintenance and taxes on. What are the luxuries? Netflix? That’s passé. We can all cancel Prime, that’s not the point.
Any new tech is a subscription unless you do all you can to research it and make sure it only connects to your network.There is very little that people want and is easy to not have, unless you want to live a very bare-bones life. Cue Karl Marx quote about going to the pub.
teslekova@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
That’s an interesting situation, isn’t it? You own a house, but because you need to generate income to keep it, you have to either become a landlord and live somewhere else - perhaps using part of your income to pay the mortgage on another house - or sell it and draw down your new wealth by paying rent.

The lit won’t lock. It just won’t flush.
LordOfLocksley@lemmy.world 5 days ago
You can flush a toilet without a working mechanism. Just get a big bucket of water and dump it down the toilet, and that does the same as flushing.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 5 days ago
The algorithm knows this and calculates exactly how much you’re willing to pay for the convenience of a button. As soon as you get a date, they know and you get a notification: “you wouldn’t want to explain the bucket to her*, would you?”

Or San Francisco a decade ago.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days ago
San Francisco since the 21st century has had four or five public restrooms that are automated and self cleaning, and free! Why? Because even then poop from the homeless and impoverished was a problem.
Not allowing people to use your business restroom is just a good way to end up with occasionally cleaning up poop on your grounds, and your back alleys perpetually smelling like urine. In the meantime, if you do let people use your restroom for free, they’re more inclined to return to your establishment to patronize it.
Small businesses in the US like restaurants and cafes will lock their bathrooms anyway more out of habitual miserliness: Laws in the US immensely favor large chains and franchises, so small business owners and managers get used to doing everything they can to raise revenues and lower costs (including stealing tips and underpaying staff) so the petit bourgeoisie for a while seemed crueler than big corporations. (As workplace regulation violations are not being investigated, big businesses are catching up, as per Amazon and Facebook). In 2026, small resellers rarely open their restrooms up to the public, and some restaurants and cafes don’t feature restrooms at all.
And so major cities all have poop problems, either managed by municipal cleaners or by ordinance requiring property owners keep their grounds clean.

Sorry to share the bad news
https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2025/10/30/kohler-dekoda/
The device Kohler Dekoda is priced at $599 on the company’s website. In addition to the one-off hardware cost, there is a subscription required for the companion Kohler Health app: the single‑user plan is US $6.99 per month, or US $70 per year.
Just a random website from search results.

Competitive shitting. Had this idea 5 years ago when we were debating toilet upgrades for some reason.

But what about second subscription. Don’t you care about the share holders?
L7HM77@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
I already have second subscription, it’s the sewer bill. Should I consider getting third subscription?
Thorry@feddit.org 5 days ago
I also pay specific sewage tax, which is legally required for anyone with a sewage connection to their home. And for people who don’t, they probably have some kind of septic system where they pay for the materials and personnel to upkeep that.
Lexam@lemmy.world 5 days ago
We have a sewer bill and it’s higher than the water bill.
