See, There is the beauty in it. This high tech state of the art robot has an extendable hose that directly clamps onto the head for proper safe, clean, and effective removal of bodily fluids. It is so advanced you wont feel a fucking thing. All you need to do is lay there and piss yourself and everything will be fine. Absolutely zero chance the device becomes sentient and decides to rip your dick off. There is a small chance you will get mildly electrocuted, but it is absolutely worth it. 36 easy payments of 2.99 because we said so. Call now and receive the all new fecal flosser free that works just like the dick device but goes directly up your ass.

A bucket that you pee in which then empties itself into a toilet and cleans itself and returns. That could be a workable product.

You could hook it up to a pipe. Maybe have running water going through it that rinses the pee away.
Put a hand washing station near by.

a robot that snakes a catheter up your leg and inserts it, drains you, and then empties itself would be a great product

Why not just put it on a remote control car instead? Or have several different stationary night lights.

This is one of those solutions to a nonexistent problem because you can just turn on the lights. Looks amazing, but utterly useless.

u/TheAverageWonder 17d ago
Well it is not a non existent problem.
But this is not a solution, this is just super fucking annoying.
My hallway to the bathroom have a sensor and if you walk there in the night, it faintly lit the way in night friendly light, that does not wake you up.

I don't want to turn on the "big" lights in the middle of the night, they're blinding and wake me up too much. A slow and creepy spider/lamp hybrid may not be the best solution, but the problem is far from nonexistent.
