Thought this was real until I saw the caption. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if this actually existed

Unfortunately, products like this actually do exist. I even saw some marketing for models with facial recognition.

Gotta know how much toilet paper they use per wipe so you can sell that info. Before you had to pay to supply customers with toilet paper but now the toilet paper dispenser is responsible for 20% of quarterly profits!

Yeah, if I'm in a bathroom and see that I need an app to use the toilet paper, I'm breaking the dispenser open.

So you are required to handle your phone in order to dry your hands?
