I just want a robotic toothbrush to do everything while I sit there half-asleep. Just latch onto my face and brush my teeth.

robo-facehuggers sound both kinda cool and kinda “man made horrors beyond my comprehension” to me. But I echo the sentiment, would make brushing easier.

$40 for the pet plant is cheap enough that I’d buy them as gag gifts ????

I bet the pet plant device thing requires some app to be installed on your smartphone that also requires subscription to use. ????

Cleve Backster used to talk to plants with his thoughts, he went around colleges trying to show people, he hooked up a lie detector to the plants and he thought what what would happen if I got a lighter and put next to leaf, it started twitching on the detector from just his thoughts,
His book was called Primary perception

The Coldsnap sounds really cool, but I haven’t heard if the manufacturer recycles the used pods after they are done. It has some sort of internal mixing paddle too. The consumer isn’t going to disassemble a pod for recycling different materials. So will Coldsnap accept empties and recycle them themselves. Good luck with that.
I remember the complaints about K-cups or Nespresso capsules being more waste for the landfills. Like how many people will actually try to recycle those? A Coldsnap is way larger than those little k-cups.

Saw lots of coverage this week of Coldsnap, and I can’t get over how unappetizing it looks coming out of the machine

* Must be call Drone-Football, but if americans invented this (drone) sport, seems to be fair to call it soccer, but the name sucks eitherway ! And, offtopic, some question wht football ( for the world) soccer ( for USA and some commom wealth countries) is the more popular and the global sport, thats why ! You can take the basic rules of the game and create a lot of variants, and it always happens in the light speed, like robot football, rocket league, golf football and now this ! Impossible to compete . . .

That manicure robot sounds like something nice to save for. I always mess up my nails with too much paint and it looks bad until I scrape off the sides.
That plant thing is kinda creepy. I really hope plants aren’t sentient… ????
