I want a cyborg rear end in a top hat that could shoot turds with lethal force and accuracy.
C'mon singularity. hurry the gently caress up. I'm bored and fed up with this weak and vulnerable butthole made of flesh.

Even if you dodge cancer in that body part it will still get old. Your muscles will atrophy. Your bones will become brittle. You will wither.

The flesh is weak

Your robot arm won't let you throw cars, you would destroy your fleshy joints. If you want robot super powers you need to be an amputated torso in a car-sized robot.

The problem I see with these prosthetics is they don't actually connect to the skeleton- you can't just drill out and thread a metal mounting rod into the old femur or humerus- because it creates an avenue for infection.

Solve that problem and you got something.

Bush sure did wonders for the prosthetics/orthotics industry but was prob still too oblivious to personally invest in it







should all be executed and dumped in unmarked graves like the last russian czar and his fam. holy poo poo were the '00s the worst decade.

Solve that problem and you got something.

Even if you could attach directly to the skeleton there would be limits as to how much force you could apply. And there's the question of powering the thing. To regain functions for amputees it is miraculous, but for superpowers you need to become robocop.

I tried out a related technology a few weeks back which is a computerized heel which moves like a real heel and detects the incline of the surface and your walk and adjusts itself according to those factors. It was a prototype so it was quite bulky and a bit buggy but still amazing future tech. I imagine the mind-control leg will be the more expensive model while the computerized one will be the "cheap" model.
