Stanford creates Smart Toilet...

You know how scientists are trying to turn every crazy and fucked up technology to ever fuck up an episode of Black Mirror? This is even worse.
Quote:The future of medicine might start in the bathroom—and Stanford radiologist Sanjiv “Sam” Gambhir and his lab is leading the way. The team has developed and tested a “smart toilet” that analyzes the users’ urine and feces to monitor for abnormalities that could signal certain diseases, infections or even certain cancers, such as colorectal or urologic cancers.
And to match your poo with you, it scans, not your fingerprint, but your “anal print.”
“We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique,” said Gambhir, senior author of a new study published Monday in Nature Biomedical Engineering, in a press release.
How is this worse? Because there was an Adult Swim Informercial about this sort of thing, and it led to the company in question becoming a sex offender (yes, the company itself is given the status of sex offender) for doing that exact thing:

I wouldn't have it in my house, just because of the name. A toilet isn't 'smart' unless it can:
1. Do my taxes.
2. Remind me to buy eggs when that's what I went to get in the first place and came home without.
3. Come up with an answer to the wife's question, 'Which one of my friends do you think is the prettiest?' that won't result in a fight.

The Moties built the best toilet, way back in the '70s.

Point 3 is a trap! Right now in a galaxy far, far away, a fish man is yelling "It's a trap!"
It's right up there with "does this make my arse look fat?"
To which a brave (or suicidal) man replies, "no, your arse makes your arse look fat."

I thought about trying the answer, 'Well...Betty is VERY attractive, but Susan does this thing with her tongue...'
Then I decided that I like my balls where they are, so I opted not to answer.
