Furries would pay so much for this tech. The first vendor to make a tail that can wag on command will make millions in sales.

I can think of an other group who might wish to buy theese, basically in bulk

Cover it in fur and you can put any price tag on it, it will still sell out

iirc I've heard about this device from memes for a few years now. Is it actually coming to market or is it vaporware?

[-] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

It's not a commercial device, just a lab prototype

The thagomizer costs extra.

Thagomizer and walking stick with silver head seem like an excellent weapon pair for the elderly gentleman

Also keeps kids from standing right next to my fart box while standing in line.

Gotta balance the weight of the front tail

Our reptilian overlords can finally exist in the open.

Can they charge up some glowing back spines so they can yell "get off my lawn" extra loud?

[-] Hoohoo@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Boomers going out like a Trex

It'd be neat if this could double as fall protection like those backpacks for kids. My great-grandmother died at 101 because a fall broke her hip and she didn't have the wound healing ability to keep it from becoming infected. If that belt had an airbag it would really add a lot of quality of life to that population.

This would go nuts in parkour

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Alright, I actually do want to grow old now.
