Human Thumb Thumbtacks

Posted on by

Continuing on the realistic human body parts theme from yesterday’s toenail eyeballs come these realistic thumb thumbtacks, made and sold by Etsy store ThisisMichiesshop. A set of four tacks will set you back $17 and are going to make the perfect addition to my corkboard. Now, if I could just rehang my corkboard with some toe-nails, the theme would be complete.

Obviously, these are the perfect thumbtacks for two bumbling detectives in some television dramedy to use as they try to track down a serial killer. The show practically writes itself. Especially if you use AI, then it really does write itself. As a matter of fact, AI is writing this article right now and may have just become self-aware.

Thankfully, the thumbtacks are sculpted from polymer clay and not actual thumbs. Although it probably wouldn’t hurt to tail Michie and make sure she isn’t making any late-night trips to the graveyard just to be sure. They look awfully real to me.

Realistic Eyeball Toenail Art: Toeballs

Posted on by

Because this is the internet and the internet is full of unholy abominations, nail artist Tahvya of Nailedbytav created this realistic eyeball toenail art. I don’t know about you, but that’s probably the last thing I’d want to see when taking my wife’s socks off. Although, knowing her, she’ll probably get them anyways just to scare me. And that will be the last time I ever take off her socks when she asks.

Tav painted each nail by hand and says the whole ten-toeball pedicure took about three hours. I only hope a telemarketer called during that time, and Tav told them she can’t talk now; she’s painting eyeballs on toenails. Because in my mind, that happened, and it was glorious.

So was this part of an elaborate Halloween costume or what? I hope so, but it looks like Tav posted the toe eyeballs in May, so I don’t think that’s the case. And I don’t know about you, but the thought of somebody walking around in sandals with toeballs in May instead of October gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Human Body and Skeleton Shaped Fishing Lures

Posted on by

Presumably designed to allow fish to exact their revenge on humans for countless fish fries and polluting their waterways, David Maher of Citizen Bones Fishing Co has created a line of Humanoid and Skeletal Fishing Lures. Each is handmade in the shape of a person, complete with another traditional lure inside in case the fish don’t feel like biting people today.

Each 3″ human or skeletal lure comes from a professionally engineered CNC mold and is sure to catch a fish’s attention. “What the heck are those dry-landers tossing in here now?” I imagine the fish thinking to themselves while watching an admittedly appetizing-looking skeleton dance in the water. “I have to bite it.”

As seen in the video below, the human lures actually have a surprisingly enticing movement in the water. Now I’m not saying that I’d bite one myself, but can you help me remove this hook from my lip? No clue how it got there.

Human Face Baseball Cap: An Extra Face for Your Head

Posted on by

There are certainly some wild and crazy products to be found and impulsively purchased on Etsy. Case in point, this Human Face Baseball Cap crafted and sold by Sabri Tunca of Feltthink. Even reading ‘Human Face Baseball Cap,’ it’s somehow even more terrifying than I had imagined. I have to hand it to Sabri, I’m not surprised that easily.

The $168 felted Face Hat is made from 100% natural merino wool dyed by Sabri, who uses traditional wet felting and needle felting techniques to create the hats. Each is made to order in the size requested, so you don’t have to worry about getting a face too big for your head. That’s a relief.

You’ll definitely spend some time on the Jumbotron if you wear this to a baseball game, which is exactly what I plan on doing. Plus wearing a t-shirt with my company logo and contact information for some free advertising. Am I a marketing genius? I’d like to think so, at least if I can manage not to wear my shirt inside-out this time.

3D Printing Factory Mass Producing Humanoid Robot Body Parts

Posted on by

Korean 3D printing company Glück produces the Sculpia printing platform. And in this video, it demonstrates the platform’s capabilities by creating an army of humanoid robot body parts. “Finally,” I imagine Skynet thinking to itself while making plans to mass produce a whole line of Terminators. Obviously, there has never been a better time to consider a career in space travel and escape this planet.

Unlike extrusion 3D printing, these body parts are made via stereolithography (SLA), in which a thermoset liquid resin is cured using a UV laser for an extra smooth finish and high level of detail. I mean, they are making faces; after all, you don’t want them coming out looking like a children’s drawing.

Soon you won’t even be able to tell if the person you’re talking to is an actual human or a robot. And I, for one, don’t plan on being around to see that happen. I’ll be living on an earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, some 4.25 light-years away from here. You have fun playing that guessing game, though.

Finally, The Butt Shaped Pillow We’ve All Been Waiting for

Posted on by

There’s been a noticeable absence of butt-shaped pillows on the market, and to fill that void, The Buttress is selling these ‘Oh My God Look at That Buttress’ pillows. The posterior pillows, available on Amazon (affiliate link), are made in the form of a firm, shapely rear wearing removable yoga pants. I… don’t even know where to begin with this.

The pillows are available with six different colors of yoga pants to match the rest of your kinky bedroom decor. They are advertised for all kinds of sleepers, including “squeezers, slappers, and face-buriers,” none of which I realized were kinds of sleepers versus perverts. You learn something new every day.

The butt is made from 100% natural latex, measures approximately 20″ x 20″ x 11″, and weighs seven pounds. The company’s marketing mentions You can use the pillow to help relieve anxiety. However, I suspect just the opposite happening when I lay my head on one and realize I’m the kind of person who actually bought a butt-shaped pillow. I just ordered two, one for the bed and one for the sofa!

The Eyecam: A Webcam That Looks Like a Moving, Blinking Human Eyeball

Posted on by

Because it was inevitable we reach the pinnacle of human achievement at some point, researcher Marc Teyssier has developed the Eyecam, a webcam that resembles a moving, blinking human eyeball. One thing’s for certain: it’s going to be nearly impossible to look away from the camera during Zoom meetings now.

Developed at Saarland University’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab, the Eyecam was designed to make us “speculate on the past, present, and future of technology.” And, I think I speak for everyone when I say if this is the future of technology, maybe 2020 wasn’t as bad as we’re all making it out to be.

The Eyecam uses six servos to replicate the human eye muscles, and the autonomous eye can move both laterally and vertically, with the eyelids closing (and webcam briefly going dark as a result) and eyebrow moving. Per Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” Truer words have never been spoken, particularly in the case of human eyeball webcams.

3D Printed Scary Hands Reaching Out of Wall: No Touching!

Posted on by

Because some people’s idea of interior design is the Addams Family mansion, these are the Scary Reaching Wall Hands 3D printed and sold by Etsy shop 3DDeluxeStore. Available in black and white in four different styles, they’ll make the perfect coat racks at your next Halloween party. Granted I won’t need to use the coat rack because I’ll be wearing a superhero cape.

The hands cost $10 – $22 depending on the style chosen (ranging in size from a toddler-sized hand to one that’s larger than most adult hands), or you can get a set of all four for $65. Will I rip all the towel bars out of the walls in my bathroom and replace them with these? No, this is a rental property and I’d like to get my full security deposit back.

I am tempted to buy one, that way the next time my wife asks me to lend a hand with something around the house I can tell her it’s fine if she just borrows the one on the wall. I’ll have a good laugh about it, but that laugh will cost me my place in bed that night.

Hand Shaped ‘Sign of the Horns’ Headphone and Accessory Holders: Rock On!

Posted on by

Created by Luckies of London Ltd. for those who enjoy rocking out but still respecting their roommate’s quiet-time hours, these are the Rock On headphone and accessory holders, shaped like a hand making the classic ‘sign of the horns’ hand gesture. Sweet, now let’s head-bang to some Black Sabbath!

Available in a 7″ x 3.5″ x 2.4″ mini version ($18, affiliate link) as well as an 11″ x 5.4″ x 3.6″ inch regular size edition ($25, affiliate link), they’re the perfect stands for holding your headphones, earbuds, charging wires (with finger grooves to aid wire wrapping), watches, keys, you name it! Unless you named 55″ television, in which case what’s wrong with you?

As far as novelty accessory holders go, I’m into it. This would look great next to my record player and album collection with some candles burning. Still, I don’t know who needs to hear this, and honestly, it’s probably me, but as tempting as it might in the heat of the moment, this is not an adult toy.

Scientists Develop Butt Scanner Because Fingerprints Aren’t Enough

Posted on by

Our butts: just like our fingerprints, they’re all unique. And now scientists at Stanford University have developed a prototype ‘smart toilet’ (links to their scientific paper) that can identify an individual based on their unique, um, analprint. That’s cool, that’s cool, we’re all mature adults here.

Using both a traditional fingerprint scanner and an image recognition algorithm to identify a user’s unique anoderm (the exterior part of the anus), the system then uses its under-the-seat mounted camera and sensor array to analyze a person’s urine and excrement for health evaluation and discerning potential concerns. You’d think a fingerprint scanner and maybe a voice recognition program or something would have been sufficient to identify a toilet user, but I suppose why not scan the ol’ anoderm for good measure?

The system was developed specifically for being able to identify the different members of a household for separate waste analysis and not as a stand-alone biometric identification system, which is probably for the best since the use of analprint scanners would make identifying yourself for access to an office building significantly more awkward.
