10 weird and wonderful gadgets from CES 2018: talking toilets to synthetic snuggles.  (techradar, 1/12/2018)
Kohler Numi toilet. Got $6,000* burning a hole in your pocket? If the hole burns right through to your colon, you might need a place to unload your loins, and Kohler’s ridiculously high-tech talking toilet, the Numi, might be just what you’ll be looking for. A voice activated loo, it features mood lighting, a foot warmer, music playback, a deodorizer and “advanced bidet functionality” with “pulsate”, “oscillate” and “wave” water spray actions. No wonder the guy in the press shot above can’t stand up.
*Actually, the list price is $7,500.
