It seems to be the cool lib thing to do. I'm a software dev. What do you want to build?

      I'm truly sorry to have to break this to you, but smart toilets already exist in droves.

          "We're going to be the Uber of smart toilets! The toilet will recognize when you're almost done, and alert one of our gig contractors to show up and hose down your butthole! It's called Wypr."

      The toilet* is free but you pay a monthly subscription for 30* flushes. Get the platinum package to activate the bidet, and get a deep learning vision system to suggest dietary changes based on the texture and color of your feces.

      Run out of flushes? No problem, top up with your phone or buy Flush Cards (TM) at your local Walmart.

      *only compatible with Flush Brand Water

      *extra flushes for as low as $1.25/flush
