@kaiiak@madverse.city If anyone's wondering where this is from: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3306214.3338573

(no i dont know why it bubbled into science journalism in 2026)

@kaiiak

Hell yes AND add a taser-tip. Or flashing LED panels for each segment.

[urban_hermit@mstdn.social]

@kaiiak A.) yes if it worked, B.) it better have a curled up mode for the bus, because if you are elderly enough for this you probably aren't driving. And I would think this would be impossible with a car. Possible but weird with a bike, but if it helped enough for the elderly to ride, go for it.

The number of years between elderly enough to need a tail and too elderly to carry its weight? So like, 7 years? Nope, nobody is wearing this unless they really wanted to for none medical reasons.

@kaiiak If it comes with the complete velociraptor suit, absolutely.

[number6@fosstodon.org]

@kaiiak

It requires power which requires weight (batteries) which means it probably wouldn't actually be good for the elderly.

Also, inside a home, it would be constantly knocking things over.

But I'm wondering if runners could run faster if they could lean forward more ... which they could do if they had a tail.

Hello Olympics?
