They got the guy three sets of robohands but couldn't figure out some mechanolegs for him?

Same for this Tail, there are better system to solve postural problems, walking difficulties and other physical issues. How will you simply sit down with this tail? Or precisely in Japan, entering in an Subway with it? They often invent overcomplicated solutions without need, for easy to solve problems, above solving it only tangential and even adding more problems.

Tails only cars. Obviously. Perfectly economical solution to tack a whole other car for the rich people with theriandroid tails to have space.

Just a pitch: Tail can easily be detached and works as a walking cane.

I do petty every physically sensative individual that has to take overcrowded public transport though

Is this a return to monke meme made manifest?

Future cosplay is going to be lit.

Make it a monkey tail and I could pull off a decent vegetable cosplay.

I have a feeling a completely different audience has a definite interest. They would just cover it in the same fur as the rest of their costume.

I was hoping for research into genetically adding one to a human, but I'll.take this.

You already have the nerves there, and it's quite trivial to connect them to a neurotransmitter, especially since the patent expired.

honestly the best posture advice I have ever gotten is to sit like I have a tail (you would have to tilt your hips forward and stick your butt out behind you to put the tail up behind you rather than curling your tailbone under such that you'd be sitting on the tail).

Imagine working in a retirement home and one day one of the residents tells you "I am taking part in this clinical trial" and then she comes back as Doctor fucking Octopus.

I just want a third arm, is that too much to ask? Imagine how many tasks would be easier with that.

Yup. That's the most cost-effctive solution to the elderly falling problem. Trust me there is no other reason we are doing this.

[โ€“] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 8 points 22 hours ago

Money for elderly that can prevent them from needing very expensive nursing home care is a huge market with no limit if the product works well. Especially for Japan but really everywhere will have increasingly large cohorts of their elderly people with not enough young people to care for them.

Now if it can stab people and drain them of their bioenergy, I can reach my final form!

I'm supposed to be cleaning but now I'm laughing too hard imagining some "saturday morning cartoon" tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.

Don't hide it Japan, you're just doing this to make cat girls

This feels more like monkey nannas. An entirely more niche kink.

Why stop there? I want my dog and fox and wolf girls too

Also these ears will help to uh, absorb the echoes and extra noise of the world around you. Yeah.

Looking at other papers from the same lab and this is the silliest paper I've ever seen, they're evaluating the effect of shining rgb lights at glass noodles on the eating experience

looks more like a scorpion tail.
