Human 'washing machine' uses AI to hose down your filthy body -- because people are now too lazy to shower

Thought the Japanese toilet was advanced?
Japanese showerhead firm Science Co. has put the "pod" in "Tide pod" after inventing an AI-powered "washing machine of the future" that is purported to give people the ultimate bath.
"We're about 70% there," said company Chairman Yasuaki Aoyama while discussing when the device will be available at a lecture at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion in late October, Japanese publication Ashahi Shimbun reported.
Dubbed the "Mirai Ningen Sentakuki," the cutting-edge shower capsule is completely enclosed like a hygiene-based cryogenic chamber and takes just 15 minutes to wash and dry the user.
"It made me excited, thinking about what kind of future there would be," declared Science Co. Chairman Yasuaki Aoyama while discussing the invention (pictured).
After the user steps into the center seat, the transparent cockpit-like contraption fills partway with water, as demonstrated in a viral YouTube video.

Sensors embedded in the seat then measure the person's pulse and other biological metrics to make sure the user is bathed at the ideal temperature.
They're then blasted by highspeed water jets harboring 3-micrometer-wide air bubbles, the Daily Mail reported.
When those pop, they produce a small but powerful pressure wave that scours grime from the skin -- the same process used to clean electrical components that can't be washed with chemicals.
Just like so many things nowadays from smartphones to restaurants, the wash pod offers far more than its primary function.
In this case, an innovative artificial intelligence system AI analyzes the aforementioned biomarkers to see if the customer is calm or excited and then projects a specially chosen video onto the plastic pod's interior to calm their nerves.
"Some people are simply too obese and weak to stand in a conventional shower and need mechanical assistance to maintain basic hygiene," said Jonah Goldberg's doctor.

I may have added a line to that article.

A New Yorker taken hostage by Hamas is admitted to be a murder victim.

A New Yorker who was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 was confirmed dead on Monday, according to the Israeli military.
Omer Neutra, 21, had long been assumed to be alive, but was actually killed during the terrorist attack, with his body taken to the Gaza Strip by Hamas, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Neutra, of Plainview, Long Island, had been serving as an IDF tank commander.

Flooding struck the English county where Ellen DeGeneres fled after the Trump election. Unfortunately, early reports that her mansion was flooded are being denied by the abusive former talk-show host.

Ellen DeGeneres is setting the record straight about the status of her new U.K. home amid severe storms that devastated parts of the U.K.
After reports circulated over the weekend that the former talk show host's farmhouse in England's idyllic Cotswolds region had been flooded, DeGeneres, 66, spoke out on Instagram. At the end of a post toasting her wife, retired actress Portia de Rossi, 51, on their 20th anniversary, DeGeneres added a postscript: "P.S. for those of you concerned, our UK farmhouse did NOT flood," she wrote.
Others in the area were not so lucky. Multiple days of heavy rainfall and strong winds led to at least five deaths, as well as severe damage to homes, roads and rail networks in the U.K., the BBC reports.

Ho-hum: Angry femcel writing for the New York Times blames Trump's huge victory on the "manosphere" and incels who are just angry that they can't date all of these strong and empowered gross unfuckable women.

A New York Times op-ed attributed President-elect Donald Trump's success in the 2024 election to resentful young men and their creation of a "manosphere," which, according to the writer, "reinforces the male breadwinner norm."
The piece, written by playwright Sarah Bernstein, argued that "our cultural narratives still reflect the idea that a woman's status can be elevated by marrying a more successful man -- and a man's diminished by pairing with a more successful woman."
The op-ed, titled, "How Our Messed-Up Dating Culture Leads to Loneliness, Anger and Donald Trump," noted that men's and women's fortunes were trending in opposite directions. After Trump was declared the winner over Vice President Kamala Harris, many have blamed his victory on sexism, misogyny and racism.
"Now that women are pulling ahead, the fairy tale has become increasingly unattainable. This development is causing both men and women to backslide to old gender stereotypes and creating a hostile division between them that provides fuel for the exploding manosphere. With so much turmoil in our collective love lives, it's little wonder Americans are experiencing surging loneliness, declining birthrates and -- as evidenced by Donald Trump's popularity with young men -- a cascade of resentment that threatens to reshape our democracy," Bernstein argued.
After Trump was declared the winner over Harris, many have blamed his victory on sexism, misogyny and racism.
Bernstein argued that modern romantic comedies promote the idea that women should have a successful career "and also a husband who is doing just a little better than she is."

Disgusting:

She's Chief Resident of Yale's Child Psychiatry Program. She Also Says Her Husband Can't Have White Friends 'Unless They Meet Me First.'

Dr. Amanda Calhoun says psychiatry 'is rooted in anti-Black racism'

Ahead of the holiday season, Amanda Calhoun appeared on MSNBC's The ReidOut to deliver a message to its liberal viewers: It's okay to cut off your conservative relatives.
"So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you," Calhoun told Joy Reid earlier this month, "it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. I think you should very much be entitled to do so, and I think it may be essential for your mental health."
While such sentiments may be common enough among the resistance left, Calhoun is no average liberal activist. She's a psychiatrist who serves as chief resident of Yale's prestigious Albert J. Solnit Integrated Adult/Child Psychiatry program--and she's not shy about her far-left activism and racial biases.
A Saint Louis University graduate, Calhoun began her Yale residency in June 2019, according to her LinkedIn page. One year later, she was the keynote speaker at Yale Medical School's "White Coats for Black Lives," a demonstration held in the wake of George Floyd's death in which "around 300 doctors took a knee in front of the Yale School of Medicine to demonstrate their solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement."
"Before I was a doctor, I was a black person in America, and this white coat does not protect me," Calhoun told attendees. Her website touts similar rhetoric, including Calhoun's belief that "all doctors should be activists."
On X, meanwhile, Calhoun routinely laments what she views as systemic racism in psychiatry, arguing that the field as a whole "is rooted in anti-Black racism." Black children, according to Calhoun, are less likely to go to therapy not because of "access" issues, but rather because of "racist therapists."
The "racial gap in breastfeeding," she argued in a June 2022 Washington Post op-ed, "reflects white supremacy." And black men "don't get to enjoy old age" because "racism affects our longevity, literally shortens our lives," Calhoun wrote last year.
Calhoun's most controversial statements, however, involve her white colleagues, friends, and acquaintances.
Though Calhoun is married to a white man, she is openly hesitant toward Caucasians and gatekeeps her husband's white acquaintances. In a 2022 X thread, she said she and her husband "left our hometown" because "white neighbors would meet my husband and I together, and then straight up ignore me when I greeted them if I was alone." As a result, Calhoun wrote, she requires her husband's white acquaintances to meet her first before befriending them.
"My husband dropped a lot of white friends and acquaintances. He doesn't befriend white folks now unless they meet me first and respect me."
...
Reached for comment, Calhoun said she would "LOVE" to speak to the Free Beacon but "unfortunately, because of how viral my MSNBC interview went, my department at Yale is barring me from speaking with the media or press in any way."
"I do NOT agree with their decision at all," Calhoun wrote in an email, "but as I am a child psychiatry fellow, as you know, completing my final year of training, I have to comply with their rules, no matter how much I disagree.

I mentioned this disgusting story on Friday -- a son asking if he should disown his mother, who moved close to him so that she could see him and raise his kids for him -- because she won't say if she did or didn't vote for Trump in November.

But in case you missed it:

This is vile. This son admits his mother gave up her home and her life to be nearby to help with the raising of her grandchildren. He admits she is kind & sweet & very helpful. This is how this selfish grown man repays her love & sacrifice just because of political differences? https://t.co/yivsxoq78b

Lefties are fighting over wokeness:

Bill Maher's season finale ends with him and Neil Degrasse Tyson getting into a fight over vaccines.
Bill Maher calls out NDT 'You're not a doctor':
NDT: "We're incapable of truly understanding risk. This goes to vaccines. Not to poke the bear here."
Maher: "Just being skeptical� pic.twitter.com/uGHHg43Viy
— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) November 23, 2024

Maher also sparred with the demented lunatic Jane Fonda. Fonda denied that California was overtaxed or overregulated, denied the far left had gone too far, and, when asked if she agrees with the far left that men can become pregnant, claimed she'd never heard a single person making that claim so it must be a "minuscule" position."

She is extremely stupid and always has been, so it's possible she's telling the truth about never having read about this extremely common claim. I know an older woman who watches nothing but CNN and is always claiming that the left is not pushing transgenderism on kids or fake pronouns. "Those are Fox News stories," she sniffs, dismissing them as false. As Maher says, CNN makes sure that its older, Boomer partisan Democrats never hear about what the real Democrat Party is up to.

This sounds unironically reasonable.
Question is: do we blame men, do we go back to THE PATRIARCHY, or do we rewrite 20 million years of hominid evolution (or, if you like, the will of Allah)? It's easiest to blame men and Bernstein seems halfway still there, but at least she's looking roughly in the right direction.

37 I think Washington State did just that in their recent election. One of their new resolutions passed will put an estate tax on family farms. They tied it to funding for education so that anyone who votes against it hates kids. And of course the tax will one day expand from just farmers to everyone.

Oregon is attacking small farmers over water rights and shutting them down with lawsuits and huge fines.

Local place must be better, they make sure you get washed down at least once a week if not sooner, especially if you cannot get up to use the bathroom normally. My half-week stay was actually very pleasant, the staff was professional and kind.

57 One of the odder parts of living in our stupid times is that men and women have never known less about each other.

Spend a little time reading incel forum postings and they plainly do not understand women, and head over to feminist forums and you see the same ignorance of men.

This would have shocked the hell out of our great grandparents.

I think part of it is that with fewer siblings and extended family members around young people really do know less about the opposite sex. But the bigger problem is the FNM pushes endless falsehood, more to the feminist side, but yet to the incel side as well

Nah, that's what men want. I never minded making more money than my spouse when I worked...but he did. He was so much happier when I quit to stay home and raise the kids. He felt like a man, then.

That said, I never wanted to marry a guy with zero ambition or desire to work. I dumped one of those, even those he was the nicest guy on the planet (and my mom adored him). You have to want something out of life and try to achieve it if you wanna marry a girl you'd actually want to marry.

68 I have a feeling the human washing machine is mostly about helping all the old people in Japan wash themselves, instead of requiring a home health aide to help.

I think I'd have a hard time justifying this huge machine in my house plus the hookups, over just having someone come by and do home care. Expense alone would be pretty heavily weighted on the side of the home care being cheaper, plus you get some housework done.

Sounds like a classic post for "Am I the Asshole" on Reddit.

I have my own AITA situation, maybe the Horde can help. My mom is upset that I don't have a family photo of my husband and stepkids for her to put on her Christmas card. (Which she just started last year, this is not an old tradition. I'm pretty recently married, so all of this sending cards stuff is still new to me.) She admitted that it's to show off and brag about her grandkids and family to her friends -- to friends I don't even know. It's clearly a vanity thing. But she got upset when I said I'm uncomfortable with this being a thing I have to now do each year. She has this desire to keep up with the Joneses, and finally has her own cute kid pics to pass out now she has some grandkids.

AITA for not leaping to her request? Of not wanting pics of my stepkids sent to people I don't know? I'm trying to figure out healthy, loving boundaries.

107 Turns out that Britain may start having problems recruiting people for SAS.

The problem? Kill a terrorist anywhere, and you can assume that leftist UK lawyers will pursue you for the rest of your life, using the European Convention on Human Rights.

They are still going after SAS soldiers for an action in 1992.

“Soldier M” was part of an SAS squad that killed four members of the IRA’s East Tyrone “brigade” in 1992. The IRA men had just attacked Coalisland police station with a heavy machine gun mounted on the back of a truck. They drove to the car park of a nearby church to change vehicles and dismantle the machine gun, but the SAS was waiting there for them. Soldier M and his comrades are being asked, once again, to account for their actions on that dark February night thirty-two years ago. This time, it’s an inquest, heard before a High Court judge and convened under the ECHR’s Article 2, which protects “everyone’s right to life.”

116 I stayed in the hospital for ~five days after my retroperitoneal lymph node dissection surgery. Nobody washed me during that time. Once I got home, I was under orders not to shower for some amount of time. This was to prevent infection of the surgical scar area.

That was a rough surgery and I had to ease into walking afterwards. I had to have surgery a year later to repair all of the mini hernias in the surgery site.

Despite all that, I successfully entered the 1,000 lb lifting club several days ago.

So to start it takes three times as long at least (maybe 5) to do its job, it decides on the water temperature which you can now set once to what you want. And if you like long showers well it won't do that. Plus it will cost like a billion dollars.

150 AITA for not leaping to her request? Of not wanting pics of my stepkids sent to people I don't know? I'm trying to figure out healthy, loving boundaries.

Family photos are important. Sending them to friends is an important part of life for families, including grandparents. Your children are your family and your responsibility but consider what the real reason is for your “uncomfortable” feeling and how likely that outcome really is. Only you know this. But it is reasonable for your mom to be disappointed at not being able to share her child’s family with the rest of the family and her friends.

Both the SAS and the IRA did some truly awful things during the Troubles. Maybe it was justified. Maybe it wasn't. But I don't think anyone can reasonably argue the SAS had clean hands.

High’s system, developed in the late 1990s, has been credited with predicting significant events like the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and the 9/11 attacks.

His latest prediction claims the invasion will occur 39 days after Donald Trump appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast—pointing directly to December 3, 2024.

I have reasons. I'm overly private about my personal life, partly because my mom will gossip about me and my personal life to others. I put up with it when I was single. But with other kids and my husband now in the mix, it's not just my life, it's their life too.

Also, I just found out from her I'm not inheriting some property, it will go to a blood relative because they will keep it as a "family legacy." Aka blood relatives, vs my kids through marriage. This was confirmed to me by another relative, and when I asked she didn't deny it. So the kids are good enough to splash on a Christmas card, but not good enough to inherit and be considered in a "family legacy"?

There's a lot of emotional manipulation I can't get into. It's messy.

The truth is that John Kerry actually committed a much bigger breach of the Logan Act, than Mike Flynn ever came close to.

I read all the released transcripts of Flynn's calls to Kislyak. Unless you contend that the Obama administration wanted Russia to overreact to Obama's expelling Russian diplomats, everything else was "We should wait for January to discuss this." (Kislyak is so obviously part of the Flynn setup!)

However, Kerry actually was in Iran telling Iran to ignore Trump because he could be out soon.

That's a violation of the Logan Act, if it were ever prosecutable. Not Flynn's "Let's wait until January" to Kislyak's frequent calls.

274 Marshall Brickman, Co-Writer of ‘Annie Hall’ and ‘Jersey Boys,’ Dead at 85
His five-decade career spanned film, television, and Broadway, and included four movies with Woody Allen alongside making movies of his own

He was also a member of the Journeyman beginning in 1964 with John Phillips and Michelle Phillips, where he played banjo. Following Brickman’s departure from the group, the couple partnered with Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty to form the Mamas & the Papas. While he may have appeared to have bad timing for a big breakout in his music career, a few years later, luck was very much on his side. In 1969, Brickman famously turned down an invitation to a party at Sharon Tate’s house. Five people, including Tate, were murdered by the Manson family that night.

Brickman’s first film team-up with Allen was on the script for 1973’s Sleeper. They went on to write the Oscar-winning film Annie Hall for their second project. The 1977 film also topped the Writers Guild of America’s list of 101 Funniest Screenplays of All Time. The rom-com starring Diane Keaton and Allen, took home Oscars for Best Actress (Keaton), Best Director (Allen), and Original Screenplay.

And then they also buy them for their daughters, and send them out in public wearing them.

What the heck, women?

Well, if more clothing manufacturers would get on with making and selling knee length tunics...

That's probably not too far off the mark. At their core strong and empowered modern women likely consider fashion choices for their daughters to be a binary choice, and it's either yoga pants or burkas.

I thought Moana might steal its thunder, less little girls going to Wicked, but it's holding up strong. People also just want nostalgic escapism. Moana is a sequel with zero woke press, Wicked has been around for decades. They know their audiences and play to them. Lots of reasons they are doing well.

The director of Wicked also did Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights. Guy knows how to direct splashy, glam musicals. I keep wondering if the Joker 2 movie producers had the humility to hire an actual musical director for their musical, if maybe they could have pulled the crazy concept off. Directors are key for these kinds of movies.

I recommend a tankless water heater. Its a bit of an expense up front, but is cheaper than replacing the tank, and you never run out of hot water. The only drawback I've noticed so far is that it takes a bit longer for the water to heat up at first. Like, a minute or so.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 02, 2024 06:12 PM (RsS92)

If you have hard water you need a water softer, or the buildup will prevent the water from heating high enough. Also, if you have long water lines from heater, will take a while to get to faucet/shower. Some models require a min flow rate before the heater kicks in.

378 I am reliably told that telling a woman that she is prettier without makeup is like telling a man that you cannot figure out why he's single. Its evidently taken as an insult?
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

I suspect... you're telling her she wasted however many hours and dollars she spent to achieve the look.

Not that going without makeup gets any better. Then the go-to put-down is that the girl doesn't make any effort to look good.

A great many GIs disagree. Marrying a stripper is very much "a thing."

I had a Sailor in the Navy that married a stripper. It did not work out well in the end. She continued to be a pain in the
a$$ two years after he left her and shacked up with some young hot Yeoman third class babe. The stripper kept calling me and asking me what I was going to do about him shacking up with the YN while he was still married to her.

Burt Reynolds said there at the last that if he had to do it all over again, he'd forget the toupee and go bald as was.

He said it was the The Shat that got into the wigs, and hooked him up with the toupee guys.

Remember the "Shatner Turbo 2000" from Night Court. I've looked for that scene on Youtube, but can't find it.

383 I believe he was wearing a toupee even then. He went bald pretty early.

There is test footage of him for Next Generation wearing a toupee and it looks ridiculous.

Yeah with makeup, angles, and lighting its deceptive enough but with the filters? Oh, she looks like an anime doll! Um those aren't real you know.

But women say guys do the same thing with beards; covering up a weak chin etc. Or hats hiding baldness heh.

390 Yeah, I was in college band, and preseason started in August, and as young people were wont to do, clothes were removed and not a few of the co-eds elected to go with just the sports bra.

Wait, you mean it was some unusual event that corresponded with some external variable and was an opportunity for young people to show themselves off a bit for a short time and in front of very specific people that they wanted to see their bodies?

It's almost like that's how it's supposed to work.

You have nothing to fear from Venusians. Omnec Onec came to this planet from Venus in 1956. She has espoused peace and interplanetary fellowship ever since. Her Venusian Trilogy is a must read for all enlightened scholars.

Tattoo people should remember that most of the viewing of your masterpiece is from a moderate distance where most tats look like youve rubbed yourself with motor oil.

One of the lasses on Mythbusters had three stars on the collarbone area that were simple and looked good from most distances.

I'm told that there are two surges of lawyers - one when the fleet puts out to see and another when it comes home.

They're like the tides and cuts both ways - dude who marries hometown sweetheart gets some rank and sees a wider world and trades up. Conversely, very cute chick with okay guy realizes she can snag and aviator rather than live with a grease monkey.

This is a great point. I'm guessing yoga pants are mainly first world clothing for women who don't have to worry very much about sexual assault.
