At the perfect height to be peed on
instead of a black dot they put an ad, its the perfect strategy
Was thinking the same thing. You know ppl are absolutely destroy those things.
I think it's designed for that as it's curved to deposit in the toilet.
Pee on the floor next to it.
Or the wall above it
or smear shit over the screen to block the ad 🧐
man if you feel like smearing your own shit for the employees to clean up I am not going to stop you
One of the gas stations near me started putting ads on their pumps, so I started carrying around blank paper and painters' tape to make a little cover for it, that way you can flip it up to pay, and then flip it back down to fill in peace. This screen, though, is exclusively for ads, so, theoretically, one could just smash the screen, and it will only be improved. Theoretically, that is.
If it's the standard one with four rectangular buttons on each side of the screen, the second button from the top on the right side should mute the audio. Ad will still play but at least you don't have to listen to it.
Where I live, that used to be a reliable way to mute the ads, but they've started disabling it as word gets out.
I accidentally invoked the admin menu once while screwing around with all of the buttons on one. It was kind of a thrill at first, but then I was worried I'd get caught on CCTV committing a "hacker crime" or some other fascist bullshit, so I just exited out of it.
I don't remember the exact sequence but it was something like I pressed all 4 of the outer buttons at the same time then pressed all 4 of the inner ones at the same time.
Oh nice! I will check next time. I try to avoid that gas station for obvious reasons. If that does actually work, I'll start writing instructions for muting on my flap of paper.
I won VIP thickets to Rock In Rio a couple years ago, and they had this in the urinals of the VIP area. It was supposed to show a stream of the shows but it just said server connection lost and a random local IP network (10.something) and there was an IT guy in the bathroom with a laptop connected to one of the urinals trying to fix the connection. I think it was the acid I took that day, cause I couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of the scene.
If you see an ad in the bathroom, you have a moral obligation to shit and piss on the walls.
The poor cleaning staff isn't responsible for the dystopian ads, neither are other people who just need to use this bathroom.
Vandalizing the ads themselves, and only the ads, is something I could get behind though.
A can of spray paint will do
So that’s why they check my id whenever I buy a can.
You know where to aim
You just have to aim a little higher.
I prefer the Sega urinal, that is also an arcade game.
Advertisements with piss on them
Why does that look like a camera under the screen?
Sensor because people don't flush
Oh so Testicle Biometrics Scanner why didn’t you just say that?
It identifies a correct flushing profile to use by using a biometric scan of your balls to retrieve your user data from the cloud.
It should be running the trashiest, goriest, sleaziest, slimiest & far out movies ever made 24/7.
Just for the Aesthetics.
shit on the floor
That's just rude to the wage slave that has to clean it.
Just shoot it.
Drop an upper-decker right on it.
Honestly if I had to choose a place or time to be subjected to an ad this ain't bad. That being said I can imagine how nasty it would get if not washed. Imagine how the color would shift over time
my friend saw one that said "Android is starting"
Taking the piss
I could not possibly care less about this as long as there's no audio. I'm fine with a restaurant making a bit of extra money this way
That's nice, I care though and would smash it.
It only starts this way. Then, they add audio and then, you can only pee after watching the ad.
Oh my god, I fear you are on to something here. It's only a matter of time before some venue decides to make an ad-supported restroom that forces you to watch a 30-second video ad before you can enter the stall.
Bonus dystopia points if it has a camera for view tracking that pauses the ad if you close your eyes or look away.
If that starts happening, I literally break down the stall door, get that shit out of me, and burn down the place. I will not put up with THIS when I am about to soil myself.
That's different and would change my opinions. But once I get my drangus aimed, I'm looking straight ahead at a urinal anyway so a silent ad below my sight is whatever to me
