It’s a bathroom, you can produce your own glue.

That’s the one I meant.

be a shame if people constantly smeared shit on the screen.
Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 16 hours ago
I don’t think that’ll happen in Japan.

Nobody from there for sure. Peak tourism season though?😬

Just hang some toilet paper over it

You have never seen Japanese porn in this case…

These will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.
Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.

In Japan, though? In the states, oh they’re already destroyed. But Japan?

Do you think crime, hooliganism, or protesting doesn’t exist in Japan?

Saw this in a bar once. You could see the SD card storing ads hidden in a vent. People mistook it for a camera and got the place full of police officers. Not a good move

Look if I see a screen in a bathroom I’m NOT trusting that there isn’t also a camera
meco03211@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
And if there’s not a camera, that screen was broke when I got here.

If there’s a camera in the bathroom then you definitely have a home run lawsuit, at least in America.

The computers in the restroom are literally free, you can just take them. It’s a free computer with a screen!

Yes, put screens in a restroom where I can put a knife through them while shitting and nobody is gonna know.

I’ve been finding more restaurants restrooms have TV screens but usually they are playing cartoons or somehow NickAtNite reruns which I had no idea still existed.

For sports bars with event nights it is kind if useful, so you don’t feel like you’ve missed the entertainment. I’ve only seen TVs like that on the waiting area of a casino bathroom once though.

returns to the table after an hour
“Sorry, hat to finish some episodes”
BassTurd@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
It was like that when I got here. Also that crunching noise you heard and sparks you saw were a typical poop for me.

If only there was something regularly produced in toilet stalls to use for giving feedback…
FireWire400@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.
Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…
setsubyou@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
If we could get public restrooms like the ones in Japan just for watching a few ads, I’d be all for it…
cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours ago
Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.
Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.

Before that people used to write phone numbers on the stall walls advertising things.

How I met my wife.

The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.
If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.
Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 15 hours ago
I don’t think the videos would turn out. They’d be overexposed.
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
at least that wont be a pile of e waste in a few years.

Pretty sure I saw advertisements on screens in bathrooms in American nightclubs and bars over twenty years ago. I think they didn’t have one per cubicle, though.
the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Oops the screen got smashed in, I wonder how that happened?
Grimy@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves is this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 hours ago
Ads to go along with some entertainment while I poop, right? Right?

betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
I’ll take the ads but only because the next step up this escalation ladder is adding cameras and almost nobody wants that.
sfxrlz@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Well now you’re gonna have ads + cams to track if you’re watching

Is it still illegal to have cameras in the bathroom? Because hammers and spray paint are cheap and easily concealable.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
And there is a market for cheap monitors.
