[–] amelius 1d ago ↗ I don't have a pool or a bathtub, so I guess these floating companions aren't for me :( [–] worldsayshi 1d ago ↗ I think these SFRs are basically indoor blimps. [–] johnea 1d ago ↗ One has to wonder:> offering gravity-defying, compliant, and tactile embodiments for indoor cohabitationThe summary is so full of fluffy nonsense, I wondered if this was some April 1st joke 8-/Maybe first, they need to invent anti-gravity?And "cohabitation"? Are the little things going to be breeding?It makes me thing the ACM is loosing it's shit...
