  • Yes not every user is the same, but they generally fit into 2 categories with a few outliers that cannot use the toilet or use the toilet eccentrically, and of those 2 main categories, 1 is weighted higher than the other.

    On one end, 100% of users sit, on the other end, approximately 50% of users sit. This assumes that the other users never sit, which is improbable. Realistically, 60-75% of users will sit when using the toilet, depending on their use case.

    Therefore, by normalizing the seat so that the majority of the time it doesnt have to be moved, it is most efficient for most situations. However, there will be a point where adjusting the seat based on usage choice is more efficient than leaving the seat normalized.

    Edit:

    Once standing requires lifting and lowering the seat, normalization always incurs the maximum possible movement cost per stander, while leaving the seat as-is incurs at most that cost and often less. Therefore, for any population with at least one stander, leaving the seat as-is is movement-optimal.

    Statistics prove your original comment was correct.












  • When life is void of dopamine, any little bit helps. Hugging a cat, complementing a coworker, or a friendly chat with a stranger.

    I didnt understand having a virtual partner or a sex doll until recently. It fills a void. Even though they are fake, humans are good at role-playing and pretending that they are real. The reward for doing so is a bit of dopamine.

    However, becoming reliant on these is the problem. They should be taken in small doses, to fulfill a basic need, until that need can be filled elsewhere.



  • Plausibly feasible, but there would be more people using the service than letting the service borrow their hardware for processing or memory. I imagine it would work like a botnet, where if a user generates a prompt, their machine would borrow other nearby machines to process the command efficiently. So, in order to make it a fair service, perhaps the software does a POST and only operates if you meet a minimum hardware specification, and a stable internet connection.
