    Who the fuck would ever connect their fucking toothbrush to the internet?

    That's almost as stupid as connecting your laundry machines to the internet, or your thermostat, or any other appliance in your house

      Thermostat makes a little sense -- I've adjusted it remotely after realizing I left it on during vacation.

        I'd be okay with that one too, if only it didn't have a microphone and camera and connections to google, amazon or apple.

    Sure, sure.... your toothbrush is in a geopolitical conspiracy with millions of other toothbrushes... I'll just type that up on my invisible typewriter
