Literally why would anyone need this?
>>
They don't. Its for aesthetics. Floss is comes in cheap disposable containers that don't mesh well with granite counter tops. Water picks are fairly big and bulky.

Tossed.

And the problem of dispensing the correct amount was solved quite simply by one brand I bought once. It simply changed the relative appearance of the floss every n-inches. so you knew to cut there.

>>51671757
Because I don't want to have to measure 18 inches of floss every night.

Just a small addition to the large number of advancements that will move our idea of "normal" to the future. Just imagine a home filled with all these "smart" technologies.

I always thought they should make a stainless one of these with clamps that have teeth inside them to hold floss that you load from a regular dispenser reel. Less waste than throwing away all those plastic frames. Would anyone buy it?

This. I hate it when I don't pull enough floss and have to do it again.

Also if it tells you how much floss is left because it's hard to tell with regular floss packaging until you're out so you need to have spare floss on hand always.

Never had any problems with my teeth. I brush 3 times a day, use mouthwash 4-5 times and go to dentist every year.

Jamming the bristles between your teeth is not the proper way to use a toothbrush.

It is a completely different type of heat.

And in Japan where many homes lack central heat, it is welcome either way.

I use very cheap floss, the dispenser works perfectly. It's hygenic, cuts the floss 10/10, etc.

Stop buying shit products?
>>
>>51679657
>Jamming
Hardly.
You brush both sides of your teeth and the bristles can get in between. You should also use a soft brush, no reason to use medium or hard ones.
>>
>>51678881
I find these videos very sad.
Like the one you linked.

> People like this think they can change anything
> People like this think they are smarter
> People like this think other cannot spot the blatant scam

etc etc.
it's kinda like feminsts.
both make me sad.

That only works if your teeth are really, really loose.

Just google'd it, apparently it's got 1000% of the funds it asked for.
So their scam worked. Still not seeing how it's a scam though, just something simple for tech retards.
>>
I never get why people fund projects 10 times over their goal and then blame them for running away with 80% of the money

it's like
>bro, can I get 2 bucks for a drink
>sure, wait no, here's 100 bucks, for you
>wow, neat
>WHAT YOU ONLY SPENT 2 BUCKS ON A DRINK WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 98 I GAVE YOU
>>
>>51678881
I find this presenter insufferable and amusing at the same time.
>>
>>51680105
it isn't a scam per se, just a bunch of lies and half truths to market a really simple product nowhere near the money its being paid for

who really cares though, normies can be dumb with their tech, makes the world go around
>>
>>51680114

>Person promises certain project for certain amount of money
>Receives ten times that much money and is left with a whole lot of cash while shit out of ideas

Nah, /g/ was all over that.
Apparently they fund themselves to make it look successful and trick others into funding it.
