The Feds Spend $6.9 Million For Smart Toliets That Take An Anal Prijt

Stanford University researcher Seung-min Park wrote that the notion of an “analprint” was observed by artist Salvador Dali, who found, Park said, that “the anus has 35 or 37 creases, which are as unique as fingerprints.”

Building on that observation, the researcher and his colleagues built their “mountable toilet systems” using funds from a $6.97 million NCI grant to Stanford.

Equipped with artificial intelligence and three cameras, one to identify the user’s “analprint,” the toilet analyzes a user’s urine color and flow rate and classifies the user’s stool to measure their health. The data goes not down the sewer, but up to a secure internet cloud.

Finally, someone has invented a toilet that will back up a database of my poops for analysis and safekeeping but what if some hacker downloads my entire fecal history for the purposes of intimidation and blackmail?

That's an inappropriate question, even for me.

Sounds like those researchers know their shit.

Money well spent.
