People make noise when they piss and shit. It’s not scandalous.

Well, I still don't wanna make everybody in the room have to listen to my grunts as I push out an unhealthy binge-drinking hangover turd followed by a liter of flatulent gas and and liquid spraying into the bowl. I like my privacy, kthx.

AI can't generate this prose yet.

		It just doesn’t want to produce it, and it’s holding it in. Maybe if you ask it try hard, it might finally release a backlog of text.

		Oh, yes it can. There was a time, over a year ago now, when I was working on a project that required some very raunchy, dirty, absolute gutter language. ChatGPT would only get about 30% of the way there, and never further. It stayed restrained, always. But ChatGPT + image gen? This produced unfiltered amazement. It played out like this: Tell the bot to generate an image involving some ludicrously filthy text backstory, and it would generate and display a prompt for Dall-E. But that generated prompt seemed to bypass the filters and could be absolute trash -- plain, no nonsense, dirt-nasty holy-fuckballs craptacularity. Dall-E would refuse the prompt, of course, but it remained in the chat log for perusal. Later, they made the generated prompt disappear when Dall-E refused. (This may in fact be my fault. I sent it on some pretty deep dives.) And nowadays, it seems that we don't get to see the generated prompt at all, even when Dall-E accepts a (very normal, not pushing boundaries at all) prompt and generates an image. But for a minute there: I did get to peer into depths of the wildly creative foulness that the bot can concoct. What we see above (in GP comment) isn't even scratching the surface. (I didn't write about this little "jailbreak" anywhere at that time because I'm selfish, and I wanted to keep using it myself.)

Just yell out "Who is number two working for?" and then give a courtesy flush.

If it's not scandalous, can I shit in the lobby trashcan? If the hotel wants me to have an audience, might as well...

It's not, but I prefer not being heard and not hearing over being heard or hearing.

Just make an even louder jungle cat snarling noise.

Hotel bathrooms should just play rainforest sounds[1] whenever the fan is turned on.

		You're joking, but my wife got us a box emitting bird sounds when the motion sensor is triggered. Suffice to say that it does absolutely nothing to mask the sounds that are produced on a toilet, it's just another ridiculous layer on top of it.

Some people make noise when they eat with their mouth open. It's not scandalous, it's just ignorant and gross. It's always an utter clod that is so unaware of themselves just smucking and squelching away on their open mouth full of gloopy donut muck.

It's not a virtue to be so unselfcounscious. It's not about being ashamed or inhibited or in pathological denial of biological realities. It's about being fucking minimally considerate and just the tiniest bit self-aware.

Tell that to my asshole. I’ve tried training it to be silent on the shitter for near 40 years but it fails more often than not.

I had a friend growing up who ate with his mouth open. I fucking hated it. But he had problems breathing through his nose due to something with his soft tissue in his throat. So, you learn to ignore it.

It would be virtuous to not judge others based on some small thing they do that annoys you, just as you do things that annoy others.

		Actually what’s virtuous is just having a fucking door on the bathroom

I agree but only because that's the standard for our culture so somebody not doing it is probably being disrespectful which means it becomes offensive to others because it normally only comes from people with some sort of negative feeling or inconsiderateness for those around them. In some cultures, noisy eating is the proper way and shows you're enjoying the food. Same goes for clothes, toilet sounds, etc. It's a lot more repulsive seeing a human poo on the street than a dog even though it's not fundamentally very different.

What do you mean "same goes"? Are you saying there are cultures in which being loud on the toilet is considered proper?

In China making noise with mouth when eating is considered respectful.

No it isn't. You can slurp noodles without being rude but they do not consider 'loud mouth noises' respectful.

		First link: That is a Swedish robotics blog and the sources linked are just landing pages for Chinese tours or language lessons. Second link: Where do they say that 'making loud mouth noises is a sign of respect'? They say 'people slurp noodles' which is exactly what I said.

There's a pretty significant difference; human diseases are much more likely to spread to other humans.
