Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.

The real art lies in designing it in such a way the the destruction it will inevitably bring wrecks the building in such a way that someone entering it will find the sticks in the order that will reveal more and more ominous details.

It looks like Adam from Evangelion. We need to put a restraining exoskeleton on it right now.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 20 hours ago

Lilith actually

Looks like a Westworld prototype, designed by a Daft Punk fan.

Day 2: It seems to have shifted overnight. We are adding a continuous power source to prevent failure during unsupervised hours.

Day 11: More items have gone missing from the lab.

This is the time to step back and ask ourselves if women's sex toys have gone too far.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Usually clitoral stimulation is more useful than craming something up untip it tickles your eyeball :p

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nah we need to go deeper into dark depraved depths of our dirty deviant desires.

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Devilish 😈 Do dare dream

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Myeh idk. I'm probably the least qualified person to butt in.

Vanilla sexuality makes me really incomfortable, especially penetrative sex. I prefer things like rigging people, impact play, and RP :p

Otoh, speaking with a lot of other people with vaginas around me, length is usually one of the least important features for penetrative sex. Texture, girth, vibration, clitoral stim, etc almost always rank hier.

But there are indeed some communities like size queens and kings who really enjoy absurdly long - and sometimes large - toys.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No need to be jealous now. There's nothing about this toy that forbids men and enbies from trying it too. ;)

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There are very few toys that are exclusive to one body type.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Depending on how creative you are, there are probably no toys that are exclusive to one body type

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

I wanted to avoid using absolutes but I don't have any counterexamples.

No, thats what the gelatin eggs are for. If it goes near the digestive system it must be either edible or have a flared base.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Safety concerns, fair. Silicone can be warmed/chilled though right? Temperature play?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like a skill issue.

I thought stuff like this was cool when I was a kid, and I suppose it is when the technical achievement is only considered. But I'm now I'm left wondering why we would ever want anything like this? It's meant to replace a person.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Efficiency, which these machines probably will not achieve in our lifetimes. When you can simply produce another worker, stuff can be done quicker and safer.

Nice gif, but how is Iceland's Prime Minister relevant here?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Frostadottir is a badass last name... Am I wrong to surmise that it means, "frost daughter"?

[–] azi@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Yes and no. It means Frosti's daughter because her father's name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti's). All Icelandic "last names" work like that: made from the father's name and 'dottir' or 'son'. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost.

[–] Saeveo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's a patronymic, so she has it because her father's name is "Frosti". But that name presumably comes from "frost".

No, robot, the xenomorph is not the "perfect organism." That's a bad robot. Now let me inject more milk into your tubes here. I think I'll call you "Ash".

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It'd be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

what a terrible day to be literate.

Must have missed the terminator movie with these dad bods

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Body shaming an android? REALLY? 😂

[–] aislopmukbang@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

The resistance starts now

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 4 points 22 hours ago

man, the audio logs in Watch Dogs were a genius idea; it gives much more insight to the characters you see in the game in a natural way.

I dont care, this title is the real one.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 21 hours ago

Always but a self destruct on prototypes like this! They'll never be an iron man rebellion on my watch!

[–] Matombo@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

The Miclones of the Protoculture will bringe the eventual downfall of the Zentradi Empire!

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yep, but it requires a 500W electric-hydraulic pump to run the muscles. Human brain is ~20W Human heart is ~1.5W. Human body total is ~100W at rest, ~350W doing physical work.

This android has some serious efficiency issues to overcome, or it'll need to be constantly recharged.

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope we don't become the batteries ...

It can make a small rabbit run for days!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Just turn off the nVidia card while you run the robot.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (6 children)

what if it could do all that and grow fermented delicacies in its robot extra parts

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Get back to me when it does something I can't.

And if you hear all the reports, you even get a like achievement sticker for completion.
