Aren't these the ones where the stall walls turn opaque when you lock the door?

So assuming they are... I'm still stuck at "why is this a thing?" Why do we need magicchange glass when particle board is far cheaper? I would have to be in dire straits to use one of these as my bowels would freeze up for fear of the glass switching to clear when someone jiggles the handle

There's a lot of things that people do that aren't for practical reasons. That's why all our homes aren't just concrete cubes. Somebody must have decided that this looks cool and futuristic.

Strictly from practical reasons, I suppose it's marginally easier and faster to identify a free stall. Whether that is worth the extra cost is subjective.

Also, the default state for this glass is frosted. In case of a failure it all becomes frosted.

I know if i were the janitor id fuckin' hate it for sure.

Yeah, removing greasy hand prints is probably an extra chore.

What about removing shit stains?

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Hopefully, it's not a routine procedure, seeing as the shitter is in the opposite direction from the glass.

You are clearly underestimating the ability of stupidity.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe, but you'd have to wash shitstains even off regular opaque stall walls. In fact, I can see how it would be easier to do with glass walls, as glass isn't porous, unlike the usual materials that are used for this purpose.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but the stupid will be tempted to smear it more since it would be visible from the outside.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

That's not stupid, that's malicious. Well, and stupid, but malicious first.

Some turn opaque by itself when you're doing your heavy sweaty business there for some time.

Video of those for people interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGoKsv2omBU

But this one is probably a prison or something.

Or a misguided solution to prevent drug use in public stalls?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah… sure..
