Electronic bidet

Functionality of a bidet which is not a stand-alone fixture: In the early 1960s, the father of Arnold Cohen of Brooklyn, New York, US had a medical condition that caused pain in the rectal area.

Arnold designed a toilet seat bidet system, which featured a nozzle that sprayed warm water and blew hot air.

[7] In 1982, the first Washlet television commercial aired, featuring the singer Jun Togawa telling viewers that 'even though it's a bottom, it wants to be washed too'.

[8] The Wash Air Seat and the early Washlet operated mechanically, and it took several minutes for the spray to start and for the water to heat.

[9] Following the 2024 CrowdStrike incident, a widely viral post on Japanese social media site Misskey stated: "強制再起動で尻の穴壊されかけました",[10] meaning roughly "Forced reboot almost destroyed my asshole".

The accompanying pictures showed the bidet displaying a Microsoft Windows blue screen of death that the user then force-rebooted.
