amelius 1 week ago I don't have a pool or a bathtub, so I guess these floating companions aren't for me :( worldsayshi 1 week ago I think these SFRs are basically indoor blimps. johnea 1 week 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... drop_star 3 hours ago There are images of small floating blimps in the article. What are you talking about?
