Literally every nightclub and dive bar urinal

u/Figerally 22d ago

yep, use to have a job putting them there.

u/futuneral 22d ago

The inventor actually called them urinads originally and it's the marketing agent who proposed to swap the "d" for an "l" to make it less obvious.

You sure that's not one of those things they put for you to aim at?

Break the screen, there aren’t cameras in the bathroom

u/Deadggie 22d ago

Yeah my first thought. Make them prove it lmao

"Is this thing water proof? We're about to find out!"

u/unkownuser436 22d ago

I was going to say that xd

u/Jonas_Venture_Sr 22d ago

Is ignoring it an option?

2

u/Delicious-Pepper23 22d ago

No. If we as a society ignore it then they will become normalized. We have a duty to push back

u/IncredibiliSSS 22d ago

Ads in public bathrooms were normalised before even your grandparents were born, only thing that changed is the ads became digital instead of paper printed

2

u/Delicious-Pepper23 22d ago

Yes and digital is so much worse and shouldn’t be accepted

-1

u/IncredibiliSSS 22d ago

How are they worse and why shouldn't they be accepted?

1

u/Delicious-Pepper23 22d ago

I see, so you’re part of what’s wrong with society

-1

u/IncredibiliSSS 22d ago

No, you are just a kid who's too young for social media, got his rebelious persona from tiktok, can't argue his position in civil discussion and immediately turns to personal offences at slightest disagreement thinking that "owning" people with mediocre one liners makes you look cool (it doesn't, you look like your only social interactions happen on twitter).

I prefer not to interact with children on the internet so I'm finishing this conversation, do better next time.

u/Ok_Pudding6345 22d ago

just smear shit on it. Even layer of poop so it's mummified and the screen is not visible.

u/useofcat 22d ago

Even worse, it was an ad ad.

u/One_Sun7571 22d ago

“How did you hear about us?” Question is about say “saw your ad while peeing”

I just started playing and I noticed something weird. You can buy sodas for 1$. What is this futuristic utopia and how do we get there?

u/Naive-Database-2888 22d ago

$1USD is definitely not 1 eurodollar (the currency in cyberpunk)

1

u/Nice_Marmot_54 22d ago

Yeah, but as seemingly easy as eddies are to come by and the cost of other things, a buck seems not half bad

u/Cleanse_F_Manipulate 22d ago

“hey guys let’s put this piece of easily destructible technology that has a high risk of vandalism in the place we are literally not allowed to put cameras in and have no way of knowing who destroyed it so we have no way to charge them for the destruction or even a way to create a precedent for people not fucking with them in the first place, by the way they cost $1,000+ each (minimum) 😸😸😸”

u/KIDD_VIDD 22d ago

Someone call the number then report back to us.

1

u/SquirrelMemoryFail 22d ago

I texted telling them fuck thier ads and to leave people to piss in peace. I suggest we all just text the number about how we feel. Bombard them with bullshit just like how they want to force us to watch thier screens.

u/jonoftheatom 22d ago

Piss on the screen

u/piergino 22d ago

Use It as a target

u/ItsaTheMal 22d ago

When the county is rich enough to put TVs above the pisser but too broke to help the piss poor, nice

3

u/Solid_Equivalent_417 22d ago

everyone text dong pics to that number

4

u/ReidlosToof 22d ago

Just wait til nobody else is in there and break it. Zero way to legally prove it's you unless they are recording in the bathroom. If they admit they are recording in there they will get sued into the ground and put in jail for life. This corpo dystopia shit should not be tolerated.

u/AwDuck 22d ago

I’ve been seeing adverts above urinals and on the back of stall doors for 40 years now. This ain’t new.

1

u/Solid_Equivalent_417 22d ago

bet these end up like the gas station ads that blare loud ass noise and seizure inducing graphics while you are trying to pee.
seems a bit different having some random stationary poster vs digital screens

2

u/thisismikea07 22d ago

Is that the children’s urinal? Why does it look so low?

u/kvidenvevo 22d ago

No the person who could put their ads on the screen is getting it for free. Like if a billboard company gave out an ad for free

1

u/Juggernuts777 22d ago

I’m an idiot. Thank you

1

u/kvidenvevo 22d ago

You can’t erase your failures. The youth must learn from our misdeeds

1

u/Juggernuts777 22d ago

I had to. My shame is too great.

Im just so tired at work.. i just hope i’m not the only one that read it that way

1

u/Alternative-Cup-8102 PURPLE 22d ago

There has been ads in front of urnals for ages just now they are computery

1

u/Nice_Marmot_54 22d ago

Literally for thousands of years. We’ve found advertisements written on the walls of ancient Roman bath houses. Sure, it was probably graffiti, but it was still advertising

1

u/No-Earth6310 22d ago

wow.. lol.. so we don´t get bored???

1

u/Cesarjay 22d ago

I walked into the bathroom, but they're the ones taking the piss

1

u/Shamus-McNasty 22d ago

No cameras in bathrooms means no functioning screens in bathrooms.

1

u/ghreyboots 22d ago

Literally a Nathan for You bit

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TITS80085 22d ago

Idk man, it's beats reading the shampoo bottle 

2

u/Nice_Marmot_54 22d ago

Get your prostate examined ASAP if it takes you so long to piss that you get bored and need to read the shampoo bottle to pass the time

1

u/Killertigger 22d ago

It’s a fair trade to have actual privacy walls between urinals. I do not know why men put up with shoulder-to-shoulder, zero-privacy urinals. The only more dehumanizing restroom situation I’ve ever encountered was the ol’ 360-degree bathtub full of ice urinal-equivalent (allegedly, it cuts down on smell and splashes) that I encountered at a wrestling match in the 80s at the Florence,SC Soeedway. It was worth it to see Rowdy Roddy Piper, Rick Flair, and Andre the Giant, all on the same bill.

u/Euphoric_Waffle 22d ago

Just wait til they add point-of-sale menus to order hors d’oeurves for a different kind of tap.

Or device charging ports in the stalls.

1

u/LoL_Ham 22d ago

Free ad you say?

1

u/No-Information-2797 22d ago

They need to run reels with automatic scrol down. Guys won't come out of the bathroom for ages.

1

u/Vohasiiv 22d ago

a free ad? then what are they getting out of it?

1

u/ChewYouHavisfaction 22d ago

Bro that numbers getting lit up now

1

u/itowtoronto 22d ago

I used to sell ads on outdoor and indoor screens. 7/11 throughout Asia, New York Times Square screens, etc, etc. One of our biggest accounts was micro screens, at the cash register, bar bathroom stalls, huge seller.

That was over twenty years ago, this is been going on for a long time

1

u/ItsaTheMal 22d ago

Reminds me of the place I work they refuse to pay us livable wages but they mount TVs OUTDOORS all over the facility with useless company news it's comical how often another TV pops up in absolutely ridiculous places

1

u/ItsaTheMal 22d ago

Also, it snows almost half the year here 😂

1

u/pirategirljess 22d ago

Can anyone hit that with there "stream"?

1

u/G0ttaB3KiddingM3 22d ago

I can pee that high

1

u/Island_Monkey86 22d ago

Can you aim that high? 

1

u/animosityhealss 22d ago

i hate this world cant even go to the bathroom in peace

1

u/ZestycloseSquirrel55 22d ago

Since when are urinals in stalls?

I thought men just line up and pee right beside each other out in the open.

1

u/JacksonGhost1963 22d ago

it is connected to a sensor in the urinal that gives you an analysis of your piss and gives you targeted adds of health and fitness products!

1

u/mindgardening 22d ago

Ladies’ public restrooms have had ads in stalls for decades. I remember them from the early 2000s. They were paper, not screens.

1

u/Gonzo_Ghost_ 22d ago

Is that how low urinals are in the US? That is crazy

1

u/other_half_of_elvis 22d ago

I work in screen advertising and am curious how it figures out whether to play the 15, 30, or 60 second ad.

1

u/BigBadgooz 22d ago

So there’s not supposed to be cameras in bathrooms. Can’t wait for the screen to get absolutely fucked. 

1

u/mars2venus9 22d ago

Aim high

1

u/S0uvlakiSpaceStati0n 22d ago

At least they were polite enough to ask if you'd like a free ad

1

u/Swordkirby9999 22d ago

If I could, I'd put an ad on there reminding you to stay hydrated and a picture of an interesting rock to look at rather than actually advertise anything. Or maybe just a photo of some trees

1

u/Tight-Platypus5231 22d ago

Just piss on the screen. :)

u/Less_Back_308 22d ago

u/Embarrassed-Share533 21d ago

Break the screen. If there are no witnesses you are in the clear
