    Not just download the app, but sign up for an account (and the newsletter in the process).

    Then grant permissions to your phone:

    • camera (so it can watch you poop and train + analyze the footage with AI)
    • microphone (so it can hear and analyze if your plops are optimal)
    • contacts (to send out an invitation to all your contacts, along with a clip of your last poop sesh)
    • photos and videos (to upload, store, and analyze your life since birth, along with everyone else who’s in your pictures)
    • sensors (to see how you’re holding the phone, when, how much, how hard, etc.)
    • notifications (to sell you the premium plan)
    • location (for pinpoint accuracy of your 💩 locations)
    • call logs (to see who you’re communicating with before, during, and after you drop your log)
    • nearby devices (for accuracy and to silently communicate with nearby devices)
    • calendar (for full history and to schedule your next mondo duke)

    Funny how this is supposed to be absurd - upside down duck, cake, “bizarro” and all - but it’s actually pretty accurate. So many products out there that require you to download their shitty spyware in order to do the things they are supposed to do.

        Yep. Until you can’t find non-garbage products anymore because 95% of everyone else is dumb enough to fall for it.

        I think there’s a reasonable case to be made against buyer beware here, we need to ban this shit.

        And it goes down mid-use, and the toilet has tamper-proofing that stops you from emptying it any other way “for security”.
