  • What kind of dystopian world are we living in where a machine — a mere machine with some facial recognition technology can tell me when and where and with how much toilet paper I can wipe my bottom! Well, I guess the when and where was always obvious (after I poop and in the bathroom, duh!), but the how much is something Chinese public restrooms are trying to limit — and thus enters the toilet paper robot at Beijing’s “Temple of Heaven”.

    The tech is simple — basically you put your face in front of the machine, it reads it, gives you toilet paper — and if you show it your face again within 9 minutes, no toilet paper for you buddy! You just get 60 cm! But what if I have to take a really really big poop!? Guys! Toilet paper machine! What are you doing!? Toilet paper machine! Come on!

    Still some poops and kinks to work out.

    What do you think of the machine? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter at @WhatsTrending.
