I haven’t been this excited about any product in quite some time. Combining your RSS addiction with your daily trip to the can has never been easier, with the RSStroom Reader, from Yi Tien Electronics. It’s this crazy machine that hooks up to your computer wirelessly, and prints random RSS posts right to your toilet paper, for you to read before you, eh, use it.

The best part of it is, it integrates “biometrically” with your toilet bowl. When you sit, it’ll weigh you, and according to the result, deliver your customized feed. So, it’ll be tabloids for 95lbs Sandy and OhGizmo news for 195lbs George. And then, of course, the rest goes back to nature.

The thing looks like it might be a Taiwan only offering, but who knows how long it’ll take to make its way here.

Update: Oh, yeah… did I forget to mention this is most likely a hoax? How sad. Or is it? I would have bought such a machine.

  2. […] La verdad no me crean mucho con respecto a este artilugio, y es que a mi me parece un “fake”. Via ohgizmo leo acerca de este gadget que además de parecerme un fake, me parece una de las cosas mas estupidas que he visto en mi vida, su nombre: “RSStroom reader by Yi Tien Electronics”, con este artilugio podrás imprimir tus RSS directamente en un rollo de papel higienico. Viene con soporte Wi-Fi , USB 2.0 y RSS 2.0/Atom. Pero no termina aqui resulta que este “lector” interactua biometricamente con la taza del inodoro pesando a quien esté sentado, dependiendo del peso entonces los feeds son personalizados. Segun ohgizmo lo venden en Taiwan. […]

  3. many women (caucasian, and particularly asian) don’t actually sit on the toilet in public facilities, they simply squat so the don’t expose themselves to germs… so how do squatters get some TP?

  6. Stuhlgang 2.0.

    Hierzulande redet sich die Wirtschaft gerne einen ewig währenden Vorsprung vor den aufstrebenden Industrienationen Asiens ein. Die tigerhaften, fernöstlichen Volkswirtschaften könnten zwar westliche Technologien kopieren und billiger produzieren, an…

  11. Es wächst zusammen, was auf keinen Fall zusammen gehört

    Dass viele Netz-Quellen, aus denen wir Tag für Tag online Weisheit und Kraft schöpfen, bei Lichte besehen doch hauptsächlich Scheiße sind, fällt leicht einzusehen. Die Idee, konsequent das Studium von News dann aufs Örtchen zzu verlegen, ist abe…

  15. A few extras

    Damn… I forgot that I’m supposed to whore this link and insist that you vote for me. Here, have those extras I promised: Bush’s Tookie – Remembering Bush’s worst public moment (via) Well said, CuriousHamster. Nifty tool for colourising images…

  18. […] I think we all deserve an apology for whoever thought that this was a reasonable idea. Look, I like the web as much as the next guy, but I do not feel the need to physically wipe my ass with news from the internet. Actually, come to think of it, maybe this guy doesn’t like the web at all. Maybe it’s some grand statement about how, in this information-saturated society, we might as well use the millions of pages of junk floating around out there to wipe our asses, because none of it can be trusted anyway. Sadly, I suspect there’s no such cleverness behind this. I hate this thing even more because it’s kown as the “RSStroom”. Jesus, even people like me know that those sort of puns are best left in your own home, behind closed doors. Also, the article is written by someone named “ponce”, which must be one of those name’s that’s tough to have. […]

  30. […] The second (and coolest) item is the “rsstroom reader“. This amazing device biometrically decides who is sitting on the pot, then prints out personalized rss feed content straight onto your toilette paper for easy reading, cleaning, and disposal. (The biometrics it uses would probably be user weight and not my prefferred method of assprints). What better time is there to catch up on the latest dohblog? This might not be real(I haven’t yet found a link to actually buy this amazing machine), but I would seriously consider getting one. […]

  35. “jimbo jones” and “Blah!”, the non-English messages are automatic comments/articles taken from websites linking to this article (pingback/trackback features) :p

  37. Who reads their toilet paper? THINK PEOPLE! THINK. Why not have it print pictures of your choice, ex-girl friends, your boss, co-workers, in-laws, G.W.Bush and staff…….Now that is something people would use. You know you would feel better seeing your boss in the morning, remembering the last time you saw him he had doo-doo on his face.

  40. […] E d’accordo che la corsa ai gadget si fa sempre pi? pesante, acconsento al fatto che molti testi tecnici si leggono bene in quel luogo intimo (:->), ma questo non lo avrei mai immaginato… la stampante di rss per … vabb?, guardate voi!! Gufo, che dici, la regaliamo al casatiello che ultimamente sta troppo a casa?!?! […]

  41. […] OhGizmo a popular gadget blog has a short entry about a remarkable new product.? This toilet paper dispenser actually prints rss feeds directly onto the TP to give you something fresh to read each time.? Not only does it print but the thing weighs each visitor and gives them their own custom feed. • • • […]
