New Mexico has ordered 500 “Talking Urinal Cakes” that are activated by motion sensors. HeadlineAlley
To quote from the article:
Some thoughts:
1.) If I were drunk and using the urinal, this would scare the heck out of me. So maybe it’s effective.
2.) I suspect a lot of guys, drunk or not, once they figure out where the voice is coming from will use the closest item at hand and say “Take that, bitch!”
3.) Considering which, this might be sexist along the lines of those “Kisses” urinals. File:Urinal mouth.jpg - Wikipedia
4.) On the other hand, a Talking Urinal Cake with a female voice might be the appropriate thing to put into a “Kisses” urinal.
5.) If you could program the talking urinal cake in a Kisses urinal, whjat would it say?
Which is funnier?
That the recording ends with “Remember, your future is in your hand.”
Or that some of them have been stolen from the urinals at the Turtle Mountain Brewing Co. bar and restaurant.
I don’t recall any urinal scenes from Red Dwarf, but if there were, I’m pretty sure that talking urinal cakes would fit right in.
As a female, I’m a bit jealous. I want a sci fi peeing experience too. Maybe a toilet with an iris style opening that only works when you apply weight to the seat.
I haven’t seen Red Dwarf, but I think when artificial gravity is perfected you’ll be able to have a local effect urinal that let’s you pee standing up.
