Chinese toilet paper dispenser scans your face and allows to take 2ft every 2h

The link does not work for me. I think this is the same discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/China/comments/1cad56g/the_toilet_paper_dispenser_at_this_public/ https://old.reddit.com/r/China/comments/1cad56g/the_toilet_p...

  And the Tor onion link: https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqnwfj4ooad.onion/r/China/comments/1cad56g/the_toilet_paper_dispenser_at_this_public/ https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqn... The problem is that Reddit has started sometimes generating these links with /s/ in them, which are supported by new Reddit (www.reddit) but not by old Reddit (old.reddit). Given Reddit’s track record, I am certain this is the latest in a series of intentional moves to gradually tighten the thumbscrews to make old Reddit less useful, so enough users will switch to new Reddit to justify closing old Reddit down.

    Ugh. I kind of live in a suspended state of anticipation around Reddit's eventual killing of old.reddit.com. I'll mourn the loss of a community that I participated in for close to two decades, but I'll get a lot of time back in my day. I'm seeing more and more ways that they're subtly breaking old reddit that would be trivial to test for, so it's harder and harder to apply Hanlon's razor...

If you need more toilet paper, perhaps because you have ibs and stinky stinky diarrhea.... Well in that case I recommend shitting on the administrators desk. I call this strategy poopmaxxing. Power through poop. Bring on the poop revolution!

  In China, you are expected to carry around your own TP.

    Sounds like a hasty generalization. If everyone carried around their own TP in this case, there would be no need for a face activated dispenser. I propose there is probably still a reason to s** on the administrators desk, regardless of Chinese social mores regarding carrying your own toilet paper.

It actually has its own reason - if you ever saw a Chinese person in a buffet they have some weird hoarding mentality and will take ludicrous amount of food, which they can't possibly eat and then throw it away. I guess same is happening here with a toilet paper.
