You see their username, right? The most weaboo of weaboo shit? Of course they have completely misguided opinions on their anime paradise.

I'm fairly often in Japan for work. They won't touch those screens.

Saw this in a bar once. You could see the SD card storing ads hidden in a vent. People mistook it for a camera and got the place full of police officers. Not a good move

Look if I see a screen in a bathroom I'm NOT trusting that there isn't also a camera

meco03211@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 153d (2 replies)

And if there's not a camera, that screen was broke when I got here.

If there's a camera in the bathroom then you definitely have a home run lawsuit, at least in America.

The computers in the restroom are literally free, you can just take them. It's a free computer with a screen!

I've been finding more restaurants restrooms have TV screens but usually they are playing cartoons or somehow Nick At Nite reruns which I had no idea still existed.

For sports bars with event nights it is kind if useful, so you don't feel like you've missed the entertainment. I've only seen TVs like that on the waiting area of a casino bathroom once though.

BassTurd@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 153d

It was like that when I got here. Also that crunching noise you heard and sparks you saw were a typical poop for me.

MrSulu@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 153d

If only there was something regularly produced in toilet stalls to use for giving feedback.......

Is it still illegal to have cameras in the bathroom? Because hammers and spray paint are cheap and easily concealable.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 152d

And there is a market for cheap monitors.

Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.

Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.

graycube@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 153d (1 reply)

Before that people used to write phone numbers on the stall walls advertising things.

The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.

If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.

Quilotoa@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 153d

I don't think the videos would turn out. They'd be overexposed.

Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don't mind.

Something tells me that's just wishful thinking, though...

setsubyou@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 153d

If we could get public restrooms like the ones in Japan just for watching a few ads, I’d be all for it…

BillyClark@piefed.social · 8 pts · 153d

Pretty sure I saw advertisements on screens in bathrooms in American nightclubs and bars over twenty years ago. I think they didn't have one per cubicle, though.

Grimy@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 153d (1 reply)

Everyone is quick to judge but no one has asked themselves if this is for the sexy ads. This could make things a lot easier.

Skv@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 151d

Most ads there are sexy ads. That's a default.

the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 153d

Oops the screen got smashed in, I wonder how that happened?

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 151d (1 reply)

So we get to punch or spray paint the screen, right?

Fuck advertising

Quilotoa@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 151d

This is in Japan. They are respectful of property.

maus@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 152d (1 reply)

I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.

The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won't be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.

Quilotoa@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 152d

Yes. When I was there, I was amazed by the public toilets in Tokyo.

It's a bathroom, you can produce your own glue.
