You know, not everything has to be "smart."  Humans have used perfectly dumb toilets for thousands of years; why would anyone need to make a toilet "smart?"

Nevertheless, a man in China was using a smart toilet when he was just minutes away from disaster.


As the man was taking care of business, he started to smell smoke.  Thankfully, he thought clearly enough to hop off the toilet before the thing exploded and burst into flames!

According to Oddity Central, the man thankfully wasn't hurt by the flames, and he's not entirely sure why the toilet caught on fire, though he suspects it was sparked by a short circuit.
