Don't hide it Japan, you're just doing this to make cat girls

I posted this comment on another thread:

My elation can't be measured.
How about bionic ear appendages to combat hearing loss?
Hearing aids?
Is that like a sexually transmitted ear infection?
Both sysadmins and hentai enthusiasts rejoice!
Imagine working in a retirement home and one day one of the residents tells you "I am taking part in this clinical trial" and then she comes back as Doctor fucking Octopus.
I just want a third arm, is that too much to ask? Imagine how many tasks would be easier with that.
Is that photo AI? All the videos of the real prototype look substantially different.
At best it's concept art, tho that thin strap probably wouldn't serve the purpose they're looking for. At worst it's generated by clickbait article writers.
How could they pass up an "electrified facehugger penis sheath" image like this?

fr tho it's pretty cool research
I'm just imagining the scene in a sci fi comedy.
"I thought you said we were getting mechanical tails? Why the Hell is this attached to my front?"
"Experiments determined that this was actually the more effective and cheaper option. Don't worry, a front tail works just fine for balance!"
You're right, it seems. That video is old (6 years), but I couldn't find any photos or videos that look substantially different from it.
"Arque tail" is the keywords to search for, if anyone wants to do their own research.
Do people just use "AI" now instead of "Photoshopped"
Now if it can stab people and drain them of their bioenergy, I can reach my final form!

I'm supposed to be cleaning but now I'm laughing too hard imagining some "saturday morning cartoon" tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.
Tonight on Lifetime-Japan, Speed Walkers - A motley crew of septuagenarians must defeat the evil doer, osteoarthritis man, else they will be forced to deal with painful joints! Can these grizzled grandmas come out victorious? Tune in to find out!
tokusatsu
What does this word mean?
The next thing I need is an articulated mouth and the ability to spit fire. And spikes on my back!
For balance as well, obviously.
Yup. That's the most cost-effctive solution to the elderly falling problem. Trust me there is no other reason we are doing this.
Money for elderly that can prevent them from needing very expensive nursing home care is a huge market with no limit if the product works well. Especially for Japan but really everywhere will have increasingly large cohorts of their elderly people with not enough young people to care for them.
Can I... uhhm... get one too? Maybe a little more fluffy? Ohh, and it would be nice if it could wag too... U know... Just for... uhhm... balancing purposes...
(โ~โ; )

Theres a few companies that make moving tails (and wings) for a few hundred USD, but they tend to be waitless rather than designed for balancing
Cat girls or helping the elderly walk steadily?
It's Japan, it was definitely Cat Girls first, literally any justification to spend money developing this second.
If it were me it'd be a dragon tail, but to each their own.
I can think of another demographic that would like this...
Finally something to balance the enormous mass I have in front.
If you have an erection lasting more than four hours please contact your doctor.
