Fing-longer? Smell-o-scope? What-if machine? Death clock? Empathy chip? Etc.

Personally I would like to use the electronium hat on my dogs to see what they really think... Maybe ๐Ÿค”

The what if machine. The possibilities of that thing are endless. Products could be safety tested without the need for human or animal test subjects. It could be used you to vet political candidates running for office. If you used it for personal use then you could run every possible life decision through it to find the beneficial outcome.

The only downside is that people could literally spend their whole lives asking themselves what if using the what if machine than actually living their lives. Very much like that black mirror episode that featured the device that allowed people to relive all their memories.

The what if machine.

That thing isn't worth the gold it's made of. Stephen Hawking in a pizzeria....

What about the free will chip? I think giving free will to a robot would be quite nice. Even if it means humanities destruction ๐Ÿ˜›

As a Canadian, probably some sort of universal translator that only translates into an incomprehensible, dead language

But it does not translate out of the incomprehensible dead language does it?

That's actually it's best feature.

Body switching machine would be sweet. I'm off to laugh at the reaper!

Definitely the what-if machine. I could actually figure out if I'm going to use a product enough to buy it.
