Wonder if there’s a spin cycle. Ha.
Seriously though. This should really help the elderly or those with a physical limitation.
Please step into the Science to be cleansed, human

Wcgw?
Looks like those assisted suicide pods. I can imagine a mixup during a sitcom leading to shenanigans.
Heyyyy! Who switched the labels on the pods?

Now who’s going to clean up Gene?
laugh track
And explain it to his family?
laugh track intensifies
Rob, can you show up to Gene’s wedding pretending to be him while we figure this out?
Weekend at Gene’s
I Dream Of Geney
Gene Gene Death Machine
Just put Gene in the washing pod right next door.
All I wanted was a slow painful death.
Saw the YT video for this a while back (~15 mins) and thought it mostly a nostalgic throwback to the stuff we saw or hoped for in the 80s and 90s. If “how can we charge rent for this?” hadn’t come along and destroyed innovation, anyway.
It seems more like a proof of concept, as it just fills soapy water up past the seal line, shows progress and wildlife scenes on screen (which will definitely be used to advertise at you eventually), sprays your face and other bits above the water line, drains, and then blow dries you. You’d still need to scrub, and wash your back, butt, etc.
I was kind of hoping for one of those sonic/pulsing water/jet-wash/scrubbing shower things you see in SF. This isn’t it.
But it is great that some companies are still innovating. It’s been a while.
I mean judo is the art of folding clothes while people are still wearing them, why not wash them first.
Judo is more focussed on throwing and grappling than it is on joint locks and holds, or “folding”.
The more you know.
I see that you know your judo well.
The idea of just relaxing in a pod while listening to music and getting a full body clean without any effort does sound pretty great to me. It even dries you off which is even more awesome.

You ever seen those videos where the car washing machine accidentally rips off a door or windshield wiper. Imagine that’s your dick being ripped off. I’ll pass on machine washing my bits. I’m not lazy or brave enough for electric washing.
It can work like jakuzi. Water pressure and rotation. Perhaps with suction. Perhaps with slow brushing.
All kinds of machine-assisted things do much more than you can with your own effort, without getting extreme. Constant slow brushing with no danger of ripping anything out, with constant pressure and suction interchanged, for like 20 minutes without stopping (you wouldn’t clean yourself well enough for 20 minutes without stopping) and with all the expected gels and such - and you’re clean enough without much effort. Would also be economy of water, I’d expect.
Not economy of energy, of course. But energy seems to undergo inflation in our world, while water - the opposite. So.
EDIT: Also when I’m thinking about it, such a machine can even be made work with purely muscular effort. Like a mechanical lawn mower. Still more convenient than having to reach for every place on your back after sitting 10 hours straight behind your desk and with having a migraine.

This isn’t the first machine from Japan to promise these things.
They’re not human washing machines though.
I’m honestly shocked Japan didn’t make something like this way back in the 1980s.

modern revival of a similar invention featured at the 1970 Osaka Expo
This actually seems like the kind of nonsense that gets “invented” once a decade or so. There’s just no way this is humanity’s very first crack at “washing machine but it does people” lol
I have been looking for a bathhouse with an old lady with big fat arms that can rub me down and clean me with a brush and sponge for ages. I am willing to pay top dollar to get cleaned. Just put me in a bucket of water and clean me, woman.
I’ve always wanted a car wash style blow-dry
“The user lies down…”
How does it wash your back?
They actually sit down, so they’d probably just lean forward.
OK. How does it wash your ass?
Just seems like a lot of downside for a $350,000 device that can barely do the job of a shower.
Japan? Like, the country of Japan made this?
Honestly wild. Like did they all turn a screw once? Big git repo?
This sounds fun tbh.
Produce more units and bring down the price.
Edit: 1218 Monero is a lot
If they’re billing in Monero, then I have to wonder if this machine does funner things than just cleaning you.
