It's just a mobility assistance device.

This meme is like laughing at the idea of wheelchair ramps because you think they're for people who are wrapped up around the legs like mummies.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Are they laughing at the device, or the promotional photo?

Seriously, it looks like Sarah Palin really hit hard times with this one.

[-] graphito@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago

Don't forget I was actually the person who searched for this product in the first place

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Mate, I literally have four support rails in my bathroom alone and i'm still laughing at this. The butt (heh) isn't the idea of assistive devices.

Tore my e.spinalis on the one side - like, all of it - and was a wreck for weeeeeeks. Truly, the loo was the scariest place in the house.

"I'm to young to need handles and bars everywhere," I thought to myself. But, maybe I'm not.

Those echo flex units are cheap by the half-dozen and can be set to only allow outgoing calls for help. Just saying.

Well yeah, that's ok if it's so bad you're feeling weak, but they really need to add a seatbelt for extreme cases where liftoff may be a concern...

Shitting through the nth dimension

I didn't know toilet capacity was measured in the hundreds of pounds

Edit: I hate to explain jokes but I was referring to the quantity of mass going into the toilet, not onto it.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I think that's the capacity for the bar, not the toilet

[-] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Well that's just going to absolutely ruin the bartender's day

Porque no los dos?

Once you have mobity issues, movement typically goes down while caloric intake stays the same.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Critical thinking: the weight capacity refers to the mobility handles.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The US is an important market.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago

It's like a subway handle for pooping.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 12 points 2 years ago

So, a subway handle.

[-] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Putting both handles on a single pole promotes bad form.

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

The top handle is for someone stepping into or out of the tub. The lower handle is for someone trying to stand from a shower chair, or pulling themselves up from the floor.

Actively going through this rn, could use it

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

I need one that has a plunger on the other end.

[-] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

There’s a towel bar in front of my toilet (small bathroom) and holding onto it during a poop can absolutely elevate your form. Mind you I have a squatty potty too so this is an advanced technique.

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

JANET! Let the cat out of the toilet…
