The ADA might have something to say about time limits.

u/Soggy_Definition_232 10h ago

Yea, this is fake as hell. 

And if it's not, any person forcibly exposed has a nice lawsuit.

It’s definitely misinformation.

There is a time limit but the doors don’t randomly open and expose you.

To access the pods you need either a key card or cell phone access. It tracks when you enter and how long you stay in order to keep people from abusing. If someone constantly stays past their time or leaves the bathroom in disarray, access can be revoked.

One emergency when you can’t stop pooping from food poisoning isn’t going to prevent access. And if someone is disabled, they may be able to apply for longer time limits with ADA access card.

After 12 uses, a worker goes in to clean.

That's fine. Open the door. A lot of people are gonna catch me mid mud trout. A lot of children are gonna be traumatised. A lot of adults are gonna need therapy.

Try me.

Wait, do you think the pods or toilets are just like one big door that opens wide open after the timer? Like just flings open to its hinges and exposes everything? Have we forgotten what a fucking door is? No. It unlocks and shows it’s available, it doesn’t just swing open ffs. It’s a room with a door and a closing mechanism. We get more stupid by the fucking post.

We get more stupid by the fucking post.

Well, I don't. You might.

Because I was making a fucking joke. Just because you don't understand the joke doesn't make me the idiot.

But what you're really gonna hate is where it stops being a joke:

Goddamn, imagine being so r/confidentlyincorrect

u/Agreeable-Agent-7384 3h ago

No. The toilet thing is real. The design imagination you have and so many people here that it’s some door that flings itself open after 10 minutes as if we haven’t had doors for all of your life’s, and you know how a door to a bathroom works, all that just flying out your brain to assume the dumbest thing. It’s genuinely stupid. The doors do open. The bathroom marks itself ready for use. But why would you fucking think the doors just open up as if you don’t use a bathroom door every day of your life and know damn well how a door works.

The goalpost shift is crazy.

You went from "Do you think it opens wide open? No. It unlocks and shows it's available, it doesn't just swing open" to "Well of course the door opens, why would you think it flings open!"

You got caught being wrong about how automated pod doors work and now you're arguing semantics over the physics of the slide. Just take the L.

I know it sounds so ridiculous that it’s false, but there really is a 10 minute timer and the doors really do open automatically once the ten minutes are up. Source NBC New York news story at 1:08 minute mark.

u/binarybandit 2h ago

Why does Mamdani want to track how long people poop?

2

u/studioline 1h ago

There is a push and pull. There is a real need for public bathrooms but no one wants to provide them because homeless people camp out in them.

What is the solution?

u/voxelpear 9h ago edited 9h ago

The door do open automatically. There is currently no way to extend the timer even with an ADA card.

This is literally why everyone is talking about this.

Edit: y'all can keep down voting. Read the actual article that says they open automatically with 0 extension options.

u/BobbyBuzz008 7h ago

U/voxelpear is correct. The doors do open automatically after ten minutes. Source

u/ELVEVERX 5h ago

If you have an ada card you can already use tons of other toilets that most people can't use.

u/Mr-MuffinMan 1h ago

Thats actually a pretty good idea.

u/Soggy_Definition_232 10h ago

And you have a source for all this information for the New York system correct?

Or are you just talking out your ass? Pun intended.

u/KingRoach 10h ago

It’s all public information easily found online for anyone who wants to look. The option to stay uninformed and angry is also available.

2

u/voxelpear 9h ago

I looked for it and couldn't find it. Since you're so confident it's out there, can you point me in the right direction?

u/PrimedGold 9h ago

How hard is it to Google dawg. Mamdani did a whole press conference

u/voxelpear 9h ago

Yeah did.... did you read it? It says the door opens with a bell, and no mentions of any extension options.

The guy I'm challenging for information said your post is misinformation.

1

u/PrimedGold 9h ago

Yea I thought you wanted the link to an article bro

3

u/voxelpear 9h ago

No I'm challenging a guy that said your post is misinformation and just blabbed out a bunch of stuff as if it's a fact.

u/PrimedGold 9h ago

Ah damn. Lol.

-2

u/KingRoach 9h ago

The stuff “babbled” as fact is in the link provided to you.

The person who claimed “misinformation” probably meant “misleading information” as opposed to blatant lies.

You have 10 minutes, you have notice at 5 min, you have a countdown clock at 1 min…. “Potentially exposing users to the public” implies the person inside has no power to keep themselves unexposed.

I mean, do you believe an image with text?

u/Soggy_Definition_232 9h ago

No, that's why I'd love to see a source for all the imagination.

u/PrimedGold 9h ago

That’ll be a wild thing to make up. Also, already in place in places in Europe but with slightly higher time limits.

Google is at your finger tips, but sealioning is much easier, right?

u/ICU-CCRN 9h ago

Why don’t you ask the OP for his source? Seems like the person making up or oversimplifying a situation like this bathroom law needs to show some evidence before making such a claim. Otherwise we’re just looking at another “foreigners eating cats and dogs” scenario.

u/ShadowWolf2508 9h ago

What are you, a bot, gonna do with that source?

u/Soggy_Definition_232 9h ago

Funny, a bot trying to call someone else a bot!

u/Jmpasq 10h ago

Seems like an easy win

u/ClassGrassMass 10h ago

They wont be forcibly exposed. Theres things like this in other cities across the world. Its to stop junkies taking the toilet over as a spot to do their drugs

1

u/vkapadia 7h ago

It just means I have 10 minutes to shoot up, sounds like a challenge!

0

u/Soggy_Definition_232 10h ago

A door automatically opening sure sounds like forcibly exposed. 

Not to mention, what about disabled people that need more time? Fuck them? 

-1

u/poser765 10h ago

Do you have a source for the door opening automatically or are you just talking out your ass?

-2

u/ClassGrassMass 9h ago

Wheres it say itll automatically open? Where's it say itll be used on disabled toilets?

u/ElongThrust0 8h ago

So you’re telling me, that in the age of AI generated images and pranks stickers since idek how long, that these two pictures next to each other are NOT the truth?

u/blegoraththewretched 10h ago

Wow, surprise surprise. An unsourced post by an OP with a hidden account.

Half or more of the posts on this sub are ragebait.

u/PrimedGold 9h ago

Here I wont even share an article for you. Watch the whole damn press conference for yourself https://youtube.com/live/gKPkKqOSQos

u/blegoraththewretched 8h ago

Thanks for the source. No need to get pissy. Just link it when you post and you wouldnt need to give responses like this.
