This sounds like is a terrible product. Washes off every time you go pee.

So now we will know, everyone who has a working nano thingy, also doesn’t wash their hands after the bathroom!

Don't need to wash your hands if you don't piss on them gif

Exactly, i shower in the morning and dont piss on my hands so why would i need to wash my hands after peeing? Its already super clean, so its not making my hands dirty at all 🤷🏻‍♂️

your dick has special dick oil on it with a unique scent. does it matter? probably not. but that oil is probably only gonna be thin enough to be negligible if you actually shower in the same day.

The real question to those comfortable not washing their own hands, are you ok with people preparing and serving your food with unwashed, ungloved hands? After all, they took a shower this morning.

Pyro_Light t1_j2fr7rq wrote

Preparing food in a professional setting is very different from a hand shake, and honestly I’m more concerned about all the shit chefs touch inside the kitchen that in the bathroom having worked in a kitchen.

For a second I thought he was saying that people had soap in their piss and were peeing on themselves

You know, at a cursory glance I also thought it was something tangentially golden shower related.

skankhunt402 t1_j2eafml wrote

Idk if it says something about you guys or not but that ur first thought about a regular practice after using the restroom (washing your hands) came after the thought of people pissing on themselves seems a bit off to me

Something like this would eventually be embedded in the skin for long term application. I am reminded of the Organic Circuitry Tattoos from the Commonwealth Saga

Or take a shower. It also sounds immensely expensive.

One of the things it should do is aim for you without touching. Problem solved

Better apply it to your hands. The most commonly rubbed place with soap and water.

I am just in awe of this... i have major nerve damage in my spinal cord and although I'm incredibly, like, incredibly lucky to be alive and mobile, I can't control my left hands fingers, i wonder is this would be something that would someday be appropriate for people like me...

They just kinda sit there. They can't control them.

Reward_Antique t1_j2ee96r wrote

They lack strength and i can't control specifically my ring and pinkie on my left hand- they move, when i make a fist, etc, but just as an example, I took pottery lessons a few years ago hoping it would be a good and satisfying therapy, and it was! But, every time I was at the pottery wheel, trying to hollow out a form, you use one hand (dominant hand, my right) to push down and your other hand to push in at the side. Well, my two non-cooperative fingers on the left hand would flip right into and under the centered clay and splat the whole situation at speed into the workroom mirror haha

"and stays on unless rubbed in soap & water."

So until the first time you take a leak & wash your hands. Unless you're a disgusting savage.

Wouldn’t the plan be to eventually embed this into or under the skin such that washing your body doesn’t create issues?

To me, this seems like a game changer. The multitude of applications for this type of technology and the impact it will have on our daily lives will be interesting to see as the research continues. I think the application of this to robots will be inevitable and unlock even more advanced & precise abilities and skills.

I wonder if it it’s even possible for our skin to be replaced by something like this in the future?

Ehh I like my skin. It's one of the few things I want to keep when I go full cyborg. Fuck my legs, useless shits always hurting. Let me get some thunder stompers that I can set to autopilot and take a nap while my ass walks itself to the store.

I wonder if this could potentially be able to drastically enable or at least improve upon joint and muscle related inflictions like arthritis or weaking grip strength and things of the like..

What if they used it to make digital records of musicians hands while in performance, - a unique representation of exact movements of say, Eric Clapton, or Elton John's fingers, maybe to teach technique, or feel. Available to future generations for all time. Amazing.

"biocompatible" is such a buzzword in the biomedical industry. For how long? In what parts of the body? For what purpose? So many companies come with these new materials and devices that are "completely biocompatible!" but they only checked by putting it on an in vitro cell culture for 8 hours

Great concept, would make more sense to make it something that sinks under the skins surface so it doesn’t wash off

I buy a new phone every 2-3 years. This one would need to be replaced after every time I wash my hands.
