This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Doesn't look like it solves the main issues with showers, tricky for different height partners to fuck in

This is the primary barrier to technological and social progress. We all know shower sex is hotter than bedroom sex, despite the difficulties involved. Any device hoping to pioneer the future of hygiene must resolve this crucial issue humanity faces.

Wanna know how you can tell someone never had sex in any water-centric location like shower, hot tub, pool, etc etc etc? They say its the best without knowing empirically that natural human lubricant secretions are lipid based and do not work well when mixed with water. The water washes away any oral or vaginal secretions leaving you with a feeling of masterbating with a dry rubber glove. Not as bad but it is not the warm american apple pie feeling youre used to. Orrrrrr maybe thats your kink, when fucking feels like a plastic slide on a dry bare skinned ass screeching down the slide like you have built in anti lock breaks🀣🀣🀣 its a fuckin weird feeling and completely unexpected the first time you experience it.

Yeah I was just thinking, that person has never had sex in a watery environment. It is absolutely the "fucking" worst.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

lol for real that drives me nuts. I tried to have pool sex and quickly learned that it was not going to go in and was like oh yeah, water..

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or maybe just keep your pleasure bits out of the direct shower stream during the deed. Works like a charm.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The trick is standing in juuuuuust the right place so the water is flowing down both your backs but you ain't getting waterboarded when you're going down on them.

It's an art, really.

[–] fan0m@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like too much effort. I’m on a schedule here

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah but there’s also beds

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Read it twice hoping they were joking. "Dry rubber glove" indeed.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Cunnilingus like waterboarding and not in a hot way

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 10 points 3 days ago

Plus, I think I'd be vaguely worried about it being a kill-booth in disguise.


(i.e. not really worth the free quarter's worth)

Differing heights are less noticeable during the spin cycle, so I guess that's how they are handling that issue.

How am I supposed to stand there and dissociate in one of these?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You have to sit there and disassociate.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Same way you disassociate driving home from work. With a blank stare and let muscle memory take the wheel. Then, same as the shower, you snap to and give a worrisome ponder as to whether or not you even stopped at stop signs, washed your face or washed your ass or washed your ass then your face but did you use your blinker the whole time?

Where do you work?

auto wash

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

auto. wash.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

I saw this movie, this is an orgasmatron from Sleeper.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Step sisters better stay away from this thing...

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's funny. Just a few days ago I was talking about seeing Princess Mononoke at the Expo in Germany and I wondered whether Expo is still a thing. I hadn't heard anything about an Expo in decades. And now I see that they still do that and it's even in Japan this year. Feels like the circle closes. I find that mildly interesting.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Expo 2000 in Hannover? They showed Princess Mononoke there?

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes. On a huge screen outside. I think it could rotate, for some reason.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Weird way to watch that movie....

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why? They had a projector that worked on that giant screen and it was dark outside. It was completely fine.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It's probably just the whole Expo 2000 setting that's weird to me

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I suppose this could work for the elderly or people too infirm to stand. Zero-G as well? Sounds like another exhibit covered that angle and that's the one I want to see!

[–] markz@suppo.fi 5 points 3 days ago

Sounds about right for what one would encounter on a trip to japan.

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

I saw a human washing machine before this, I can't recall where? Oh yeah, your mom's house.
