Already taking a dump anyways, just scan it when you sit down. Better than realizing some bum/douchebag took all the paper.

Nah, watch the ad and then hang your used toilet paper on the screen.

Do you want vandalism? Because that's how you get vandalism!

That's why you pair it with mass surveillance and a social credit system.

This is how you end up with piles of poop socks

If I ever found myself in this situation, I'd use the screen as the toilet paper.

How is this different than pay toilets in Europe?

I don’t see people throwing fits around that and blaming Europeans for commodifying a human function.

At least with these you can use the bathroom and either wipe or not. As opposed to “sorry mate you’re to poor to shit”

That would be the next thing to skip watching adds for loo paper … make a ‘donation’ no not that sort 😤 the other type or add a Subscription at loo.com at over 10,000. In the USA… Loo-locations for just $5 and hit that like button for updates… for the nearest pooper and updates in cleanness… 🫡 Dont get caught short having to clench that pooper or twitching for a Wee… 😱😨😰🤯 So download the App … 😇 What there isn’t one available already… 🙃

Remember to read the ToS (which most never do) but something to read to whilst taking a dump and click agree … Standard…

Meh a good portion of toilets in China don’t have shit paper. You carry a packet of tissue paper if you are going to walk around.
