For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Have you tried not shitting with the door open?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 78 points 10 months ago (5 children)

That’s funny. Every time somebody says “If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about,” I reply, “Do you shit with the door open?”

But now the door isn’t just open. It feels like Uncle Sam is pissing between your legs.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Yes we all have an uncle like that. Mine was Jimmy Savile

[–] axefaire@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not just Uncle Sam, but every tech company too

Yeah anyone thinking it's only the government spying is revealing their age and/or their biases.

Uncle Sam doesn't even need to spy. They just get the data from the corporation that spies on us now for their own reasons.

Both are a problem.

I'm more concerned with privacy than most, but I do in fact shit with the door open. When I'm at home I mean.

Well. Now we know what kind of porn Uncle Sam is into.

Isn’t that why American stalls have those big gaps?

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

My cat does not allow it.

[–] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago

But if I close the door how will people know the bathroom is occupied?
