@alice At best.
@lukeharby yeah, it would need a "take 20 years off" to make me look like that.

- boob wash
- water-park ride
- options menu
- multiplayer select- volume control
- channel selector
- smoking instructions?I tried the boob wash and was not disappointed, but it took me like two minutes to figure out the little square LED on the left was the off-button.
@alice some of these toilets actually have volume controls and a selector for the OST. I like the nature sounds OST, it's very calming

every time i've been to japan, i come back very disappointed at US toilets.
@paul_ipv6 @alice funny story. I got to travel to Japan in the late 1980s with my dad. He was doing something with Matsushita, and I was sort of on my own.
We had a bidet in our hotel room. But as a kid from Texas I didn’t even know the word bidet. And all the buttons (and there were many many buttons) were labeled only in Kanji. No iconography.
Discovery was a string (stream?) of surprises!
Also I will never understand Americans aversion to washing their privates.

@nina_kali_nina my rice cooker plays "Mary Had a Little Lamb", when it's done, and now I want a bidet that plays "Surfin' USA".

@alice Oh no, I meant all the detritus from the toilet! Oh heck!

@alice boob wash is the best

@alice You wouldn't happen to be in Japan by chance?

@alice do you have access to the control panel? If yes, you're in luck, there should be an SD card slot and it can load mp3s from there: https://qa.toto.jp/togo/qa/qadoc/016/Q0965_20180312_113617_A001.pdf
(Assuming this model supports playing audio)

@lukeharby oh, bidets use a fresh water spout, so they're not blowing used toilet water at you—that would be just begging for a UTI

@alice @alexadeswift That’s the neat part! You don’t have to! Gale-force winds blow up from the bowl.

@grumpydad nope, rural Washington.

@petrillic @paul_ipv6 @alice Just got back from a two week vacation in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka, mostly). Bidets are great. The problem with Japanese toilets is they're heated. Great in winter, awful in the Summer. If there's a way to turn that off, I never found it.

@alice Well, colour me surprised! That's just what I expect to find in Japan.

@paul_ipv6 @alice but this was also when I discovered Akihabara and all the amazing little stalls selling just one kind of thing.
Now you have to go to Shenzhen for that.

@RinostarGames @petrillic @alice
they seem to have various ways of changing water/seat temp but it's definitely not easy if you don't read japanese. the "boob wash" with cold water is quite a wake up...

akihabara was amazing.
my first business trip to japan, i was doing SE support and managed to get our sales team into a meeting with a large customer and it went very well.
when they asked if there was anything they could do or someplace they could take me as reward, i asked for akihabara. my host engineer laughed out loud and said "wow. you really are a geek.".

@alice Yeah I am looking for the combined bidet/toilet/bathroom console. Thank you.

@alice Whatever you do.. don't set it to max and wear anything white... that you want to keep.

@alice @lukeharby Some of them are an entirely separate showerhead-looking thing on a flexible hose hung on a hook near the wall and likewise simply connected to water mains.
