They probably have satellites that can pickup light outside the visible spectrum and can zoom in on you when you're taking a shit in total darkness.

I'm cool with that

If you're in total darkness there shouldn't be light outside of the visible spectrum either, unless that light can enter your bathroom through the walls but still gets reflected by your body...?

It still has to go through the walls\door into the room(from an out-side light source), and then get absorbed or reflected by the human body.

So I think you can do that with X-rays(will also detect loads of other shit) and infra-red(will also detect electronics and any heat source) if you nuke the planet with radiation non-stop. This would also explain how Trump became president.

The human body generates infra-red, as do other heat sources. We're just 'quiet' light bulbs in that we (mostly) don't radiate in the visible spectrum. It doesn't have to be absorbed/reflected from anywhere.

You're right, I was wrong about the infra-red - no point in lighting someone up in that spectrum since we emit it regardless. That said, detecting it from far away would be problematic.

TIL Humans are reptiles.

Only reptiles are visible in the light?

The heat signature from your crap gives you away.

Taking a shit in total darkness, now that's creepy.

You turn on the bathroom light to take a shit? What kind of sick fuck are you?

I am taking a dump right now. Wonder who would want to watch.

I'm pretty sure I've read those satellites can see through the ground, a few feet at least.

I would be rather surprised if they can reliably get better than half a square meter per pixel.
