I’m just going to come right out and say it: Urinating while standing is a terrible idea. It creates a host of messes including splash back and disgusting drips, and inevitably the toilet seat gets left up, leading to someone accidentally plummeting into the porcelain abyss. But until we can all agree to just sit down, the SmartNūdge promises to solve at least one of those issues.

The SmartNūdge, which is dreadfully early in its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, swears to autonomously ensure your toilet seat is always returned to its lowered and proper position. Powered by a set of four AA batteries that are good for about 18 months of use, according to the campaign, the SmartNūdge attaches to the underside of a toilet’s lid using magnets or a sticker and uses a sensor that detects when the toilet seat has been raised.
