It’s not a joke, they do exist. I asked Perplexity:
Smart toilets are technologically advanced bathroom fixtures that combine traditional toilet functions with electronic bidet cleansing and smart home features such as automatic flushing, heated seats, self-cleaning nozzles, and remote or voice control. Their core purpose remains flushing away waste, but they enhance hygiene, comfort, and convenience through integrated technologies.
Key features commonly found in smart toilets include a built-in bidet with adjustable water temperature, pressure, and spray position; seat-warming with customizable temperature; automatic or touchless flushing activated by sensors; self-cleaning nozzles that rinse after each use; deodorizing systems; warm-air drying to reduce toilet paper use; night-light illumination; and remote, app, or voice?command controls that can integrate with smart home ecosystems. Many models also offer water-saving flush modes (as low as 0.6 gpf), overflow protection, and even builtin speakers or LED lighting.
Benefits of smart toilets center on improved hygiene (bidet cleansing reduces reliance on toilet paper and provides a more thorough clean), increased comfort (heated seats, warm water, and adjustable settings), greater convenience (hands-free flushing, lid opening/closing, and self-cleaning), and environmental friendliness (efficient flush systems and reduced paper waste lower water usage and utility bills). These features make smart toilets a popular upgrade for modern bathrooms seeking luxury, sustainability, and accessibility.
What could possibly go wrong?
(They do need electricity, but not all need Wi-Fi.)

I think I would prefer to stick with a good old fashioned toilet. With all that modern technology added in, I can’t help wondering how often they would need to be replaced due to breaking down or wearing out.
Same here!
I agree with Ann!
So do I!
These smart toilets are popular
I didn’t even know about them.
Hmmmm, I’m not sure about that one!
🙂
I’m fine with a regular toilet.
So are we!
This reminds me of the Ephesus ruins. I’ve a picture of my father on something that resembles “the throne” which our guide called, “The most important room in the house.” (lol)
🙂
The smarter the item – the more there is to break.
Yes!
I will stick with a regular toilet.
Same here.
Same. My toilet does have two flush modes but that’s as smart as it is.
Ours isn’t even that smart. 🙂
