I think if you survive the tragedy of losing a limb, the world owes you the opportunity to get super bionic arms that can work remotely.
I've lost my penis in the war. I'd like an exact replica prostetic please! That's right, 12 inches, thick as a beer can. I said exact replica after all!
Oh, and since it's prostetic anyways, maybe we can build it with vibration, and led gamer lights? Oooh! Ooh!!! And make it shoot off fireworks! And make a laser light show that reacts to music!!!
What? I said exact replica! My penis could do all this already!
That can be only handled by a select few. I personally like the feeling of overcoming large objects, others are not as amused by that. Larger objects are also accelerating the recipient's time for adult diapers, especially if done daily. 4-6 inches are better for most people.
Ouch
No mayo dispenser?
In 2017 there was a game called Splatoon. Without getting too into the weeds, just know it's a first person shooter made for all ages. Two teams of 4 splat each other with ink, and try to win the game.
They also had things call splatfests. You pick a team for the weekend, and every win you get helps your team in the long weekend war known as a Splatfest.
Well they had "Team Ketchup (is better than Mayo)" and "Team Mayo (is better than Ketchup)"
I picked team Ketchup. Unfortunately for north America, Team Mayo won. Team Ketchup won the popular vote by a landslide (I think it was like 70% if I remember right), but the solo battles, and team battles were close, but awarded to Mayo.
Still, I stand by Team Ketchup.
Speak for yourself you ketchup dog!
proceeds with four additional paragraphs, only one of them single-line 😄
This is very much in the realm of it has to work pretty perfectly to be worth the fuss. As neat as these are most people prefer the simple dumb prosthetics as they are predictable and reliable. The fuss and imperfections and charging etc that come with these make them look cool in demos but most people abandon them in trials.
Yeah.... Prosthetic companies spend lots of money on marketing to make people think we've advanced a lot further than we have.
Myoelectric limbs have been around for decades, and though the terminal devices have gotten more life-like, it's arguable if they've gotten any more functional.
Myoelectric limbs are just exhausting to use for more than a couple minutes at a time. You have to concentrate and flex individual muscle groups in your forearm to get a controlled response.
I have patients with mechanical upper limb prosthetics that are a lot more functional than I've ever seen anyone with a powered limb.
So... just like tech companies in general?
Oh yeah but if I can get insurance to buy it I'm going to have this as a backup. If just as a party trick.
