>> Does it run on batteries?

>> Yes!

>> Every Loodio sold after 2025 runs on batteries.

Interesting but rather than wait for 2026, what about the ones sold now? ; - )

Might want to reword it to be something like "Every Loodio sold from 2025 onwards runs on batteries."

And on a more substantial point: isn't Loo primarily a British term? I'd be surprised if it's well understood in most other countries whereas toilet (vulgar as it sounds to certain Brits) is fairly widely understood. Maybe this isn't a big deal but you'd think the name was kind of crucial to getting the purpose of this gadget.

Well... it's crucial for the portmanteau to work ;)


Shitterdio doesn't have the same ring :)


Oh wow I (American) didn't even remember until seeing this thread that loo meant that.


Will look into that.

The name was based on something 1) easy to say in most languages 2) I could get the domain for and is short and 3) wasn’t trademarked.
