”Public restrooms are not at all restful when it comes to the battleground of modern manners.”

I agree and would add that even private bathrooms are non restful if you live with someone.

That’s why I’m launching Loodio - A music player for bathrooms that plays music during your bathroom visit automatically thanks to a motion detector. (Kickstarter February)

Ever since I started dating I’ve always hated the embarrassment of the sounds, so I made a prototype with a Raspberry Pi a few years ago. Lots of people thought it was a good idea so hopefully I’ll get it funded.

I can’t tell if this is real or fake. (Is that a camera I see??)

Good luck on your project. Post it to HN once you launch your Kickstarter. I know many toilet seats in Asia play music, so there is definitely a demand for this kind of thing.

Long long before the internet and portable computing devices I remember how I (and most people) would reach for whatever was closest to hand during long bathroom breaks.

If you were lucky there would be magazines (Readers Digest being common) or maybe a book or even a mail order catalog.

If you weren't lucky then you'd reach for a shampoo bottle and read the ingredients out of boredom.

Kids these days etc..

Found the article kinda wandering and hard to follow, but I'm totally here for this:

"Henry VIII’s toilet block at his Hampton Court Palace was known as the Great House of Easement"
