I received this missive from Angie's List in my email today:
Subject line: 3 toilet seats that are changing EVERYTHING

3 Toilet Seats You Won't Believe

Toilet seats might soon have less in common with outhouses and more in common with a smartphone or wearable tech. Learn about 3 toilet seats that could change your life!
That's followed by a link (with a button that says "Sit In Luxury") that enables me to order one of these advanced toilet seats:

Maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy, but frankly, I don't believe there's any such thing as a toilet seat that is going to "change EVERYTHING"...

I don't believe that toilet seats have that sort of metaphysical, transcendent significance...

Nor do I ever care to own one that has more in common with a "smart phone" or "wearable tech" (whatever the hell that means) than its basic purpose...

I believe that sort of thing is called a 'bidet'.
