‘Your Turn’ Button Forces Shared Loads

A cheeky Spanish designer has developed a washing machine called the ‘Your Turn’ which uses a fingerprint sensor to determine who has to do the chores next. It seems like the kit can be retrofitted to most washing machines, and inventor Pep Torres would like to continue to add features, like a lock that prevents the door from opening. Right now, a finger press is only required to start the machine—someone could still skip out on the loading.

Also, from the headline, this was not at all what I thought it was going to be. (Thanks, Andy!)
