Is this in China? At least this time, providing loo roll in a public bathroom is an improvement…
This is too dystopian for even Black Mirror. I propose we refer to this as, Brown Mirror.
I’d shit on the floor and break the screen.

Fable’s morality system was actually realistic if you assume it’s depicting what it’s like to be rich and privileged.
The -1 score made me think of how it wouldn’t matter if you could just donate money to get it back.
better idea, bring a small pry bar in your purse
Never go anywhere without the means to disassemble and break things.
Get schwifty!
Get Schwifty is back! Too good for a Grammy!
Just the screen? I’d have that entire thing in pieces before I left.
But someone, totally not me, shat on the floor. You’d have to smell that for a while.
It’s extreme but so is the situation
I’ll allow it
The expanded form of this sentence:
Toilet won’t give you loo roll unless you visit an arbitrary web page on your personal device and allow people to possibly extract personal information about you, along with implicit knowledge of when and where you might have used a toilet.
We, as a civilisation, have finally made the FlushMe app real. Well done.
Apparently it’s unwise to forget your handy 12" pry bar when shitting in China? Those TP dispensers aren’t exactly Fort Knox to begin with, just try withholding it from me after I take a massive dump.
In China people carry about their own toilet paper. Many public toilets don’t provide it at all.
Pocket Dremel.
Too loud, it should make no noise whatsoever. Bathroom noises are pissing and farts, the Dremel is too conspicuous.
Time to get creative
The p***?
How’s this news? Are paid toilets a novel concept to people?
Well I feel like public toilets should be free anyway. But in this one you might not even notice the issue before you sit down and poop and need to wipe already. Normal paid toilets have you pay first. And you can use coins or sometimes card which means your phone being empty is no issue
Paid toilets not, but this is
That sounds awfully capitalistic
They’re illegal in the US.
Actually I understand the point of this, and it’s not just to make money. I have read in several places that many public toilets in China have a problem of people stealing all the toilet paper to use at home. That means you basically have to bring your own toilet paper because there won’t be any in the stall. This is a way of fixing that.
Most toilets I find there just don’t provide it at all.
…and it’s not to make money.
Then why have adverts? Why not just a button on a timer? Don’t delude yourself.
I’m not saying it’s totally altruistic. I’m saying it is not just about money.
Yeah, no, this is purely about money
what a take
Easy words for somebody who has never experienced a stall without any toilet paper
i was homeless for two years. asshole.
if you’re this disturbed by the thought of not having access to toilet paper, carry your own wet wipes.
I am guessing you are from the US. Probably have never traveled abroad. Different countries sometimes have different cultures.
If you had money and could afford toilet paper, you wouldn’t go down to the public bathroom and empty the stalls to save $2. In other cultures some people would go and steal every roll from every stall, not because they don’t have $2, but because they can and it doesn’t bother them that people who use the bathroom won’t have toilet paper.
Go to a country like Norway or Japan and look at the infrastructure. Things are immaculate because the overall population puts effort into keeping things nice. There is very little litter for example. When it comes to litter, US isn’t nearly as good. We have signs on the highway reminding people not to litter. And it’s well understood that in most public places if there aren’t garbage cans everywhere that litter will be the result, people won’t hang on to their garbage to avoid littering. Make it inconvenient not to litter and the trash goes on the ground. Go to New York City and read the paper, every other week there is a fire on the subway tracks caused by garbage people throw off the platform hitting the electric rail and causing sparks.
Point is simple, don’t assume that every other country is exactly like the experience you have had in your country.
motherfucker? how dare you assume i have not travelled while also admonishing me for unwarranted assumptions?! fuck all the way off hypocrite.
Society creates a situation where something as basic as toilet paper becomes an expense someone can’t afford so they steal it and you understand the point of them doing this… I don’t think you do.
Possibly older folks with famine trauma. In China you get older folks pushing in crowds and such. Even when it’s logically pointless.
I can understand that. Doesn’t make it okay to steal from the public stall though. That’s not stealing from some big faceless business, that’s stealing from your fellow human who will then come to the stall and have no toilet paper.
