He doesn't know how to use the three seashells

That was basically my theory. They are seashell shaped buttons controlling settings on a futuristic toilet.

Buttons pressed in sequence: 1. Flush. 2. Water cleaning spray. 3. Air blow dry.

It’s a bidet system with three steps/buttons. Seashell one: soap and water. Seashell 2: High pressure water stream.

How does this not have more likes? This ish is hilarious.

You know what make it even more confusing is if the seashells were those sprial ones. Lmfaooo

Well, as "buttons" they don't actually have to be pressed but just respond to touch and maybe you even pick them up to control the water or air pressure or whatever. Just a thought.

Some people definitely gonna need more shells for scraping the rest after the first 2.

They probably are buttons since they’re neatly equal distances from each other.

So the Japanese toilet finally caught on.

Ok, now lets move to the next big question of that movie. How many rats do you need to make a ratburger?

I’ve always thought the sea shells where like all restaurants being Taco Bells and the radio playing all jingles, the future looks great at the start but the longer you think about it, their future is really dumb. Besides being oppressive , their “advancements” are either all for show at best, or terrible backslides at worst.

Being buttons for a washlet is the theory that makes most sense. The real question is why they're all shaped like sea shells. The answer is probably that they were originally shaped like that as a form of decoration for a very popular model, so a midel so popular that its styling was copied by all the other models of washlers that came after.

It's gotta be painful

I believe they mess around with him by placing 3 seashells where the paper should be.

My theory is: use the first to clean if it become to dirty you switch to the second and the third... then you clean them and re-use.

I think in the future everything is automatic, so given that when you poo and pee the private parts are automatically cleaned and flushed, I think the seashells are just options that the machine cant decide on its own.. So my guess is the seashells is a mixing device to customize the cleaning process for the user. 1st seashell is to choose the temperature level , 2nd is for the intensity of cleaning, 3rd seashell would be the length of time to clean.. So you swipe your finger left to right on top of the seashell to increase or decrease the settings.. It will not operate unless you set all of the settings and I guess you can do it really quickly.

They look metallic and therefore electrically conductive in the movie, so the buttons wouldn't need to be depressed, just touched like those touch sensitive lamp bases.
