looks like a Prison, there are Bars on the window. Maybe its so that a guard can see if you pull a Knife out of your ass
I’ve gotten to the point where the sentence “We care about your privacy” is read in my head with the same inflection as a toddler saying “Just so you know, I didn’t eat the cookies you left sitting on the counter. *wiping crumbs*”
i think these are the kind of glass that frosts up when the door is locked but i’m just doing that thing where i autistically ruin jokes sorry
We can always rely on malfunctioning frost ups or malware controlling the frost up. Lots of possible new jokes there.
please pay $1 for 1 more minute of privacy
Hey, that’s brilliant! Would you like a job in our C-Suite?
I feel like the magic frosted glass usually turns frosted when the current is removed so hopefully it fails open.
It doesn’t have to be high tech. Sometimes plain glass is installed and later applications, etchings, or abrasions are added for privacy.
why would they do that rather than just ordering frosted glass?
Looks like an AI slop image to me.
hmm, hard to tell for sure, but i don’t think so:
- 5 toilets, 5 doors, 5 handles, 5 locks, 5 pairs of hinges
- each door is consistently flanked by a pair of brackets
details like that are often fucked up by generative models. there is a bit of weirdness especially around the floor pattern but the image is very jpeg compressed and has some visible artifacting
Nah the fuckery in the floor can be explained away by fisheye lens + pattern + compression (and scaling).
I concur, this is likely not AI. I can tell by the pixels, and by having seen a great number of AI in my time.
The electronic walls that show up fogged when closed make sense. Those things are freaky tho. Like, what is the failure mode if power is lost?
It depends on the type of smart glass.
- Electrochromic: stays whatever it was
- Polymer dispersed liquid crystals: goes opaque
- Suspended particles: half way opaque
- Micro-blinds: transparent
For this application polymer dispersed liquid crystals seems wise, lol.
If power is lost: hurry up and wipe.
It’s not. That one has been bouncing around the intertubes for a while. Since 2018, according to Tineye.

You just know the owners and higher management have private bathrooms.
BUT my flexibility will finally be appreciated.
Really, it’s the sounds and odors I dislike the most. Bathroom stalls do nothing to alleviate those, no matter what they’re made of. If they aren’t completely walled-in, individual rooms with a fan, then they might as well be made of glass.
It occurs to me now, that the perfect public restroom is an airplane restroom. They’re compact which reduces shenanigans--no one wants to spend any more time in there than necessary, made of stainless steel, include everything you need and nothing more, the door locks with an “occupied sign”, the light and fan turn on, you do your business, clean up and get out.
You also just explained a porta-potty with hand sanitizer, sans the stainless steel.
You’d love the bathrooms at a pub I went to in Vancouver. The bathrooms were all unisex, individual small rooms, with solid doors. With a toilet, mirror, and tiny sink. Ideal!! And there were like 10 of em!
You guys clean up? (/s 😜)
They’re compact which reduces shenanigans
What are examples of toilet shenanigans? 🤔
Stealing other people’s poop, I assume.
Hate it when that happens. You wipe, get up, want to flush and - aw shit - see the poop is gone.
Pray that we do not update it further.
Oh my, I’m getting an audience for my lunch break tug 'n dump session.

A privacy policy is a surveillance policy.
Next one is giving a bigger more visible handle top open and close the door while the door remains transparent.
