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

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.

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 13 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 15 hours ago

I want one now just to have even better balance.

This would go nuts in parkour

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

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.
