gundams but for cats

this is essentially the plot of an early 1990s anime whose title translates to �All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku�

the sheer weirdness of the title is what led to me knowing the name and general idea of the series, it wouldn�t surprise me if anything you guess about it from the title is true

an app that takes a subscription fee, arranges an activity, and sends a compatible group located near each other and whose schedules mesh to engage in it �free�

using it requires granting full calendar, photo, fine-grained location, and major social media app access, as well as answering a ton of almost invasively personal questions at random

the data is all made available for AI training at a price

gamified tax prep software where providing more and more info gets you points redeemable for loot boxes that that can contain varying degrees of redeemable �deals�

it�s all funded by selling your financial information, and the quality of �deals� you get is related to the value of the information

put in your last five years� returns for an ultra box! it�s a chance to win triple your refund or $100 off if you have to pay!

better scan in all your receipts to see if those deductions would add up to more than the standard, and with your purchasing preferences recorded you get 2x points! win-win!

micro transactions for clothes

want to buy one trouser leg? What about half a bra? Now you can!

it�s not at this granularity, but clothing rental is already a thing and it�s becoming trendy, pitched as a way to stay in fashion

some services even do it Netflix-style where you pay a monthly fee for a certain number of pieces, and can send them back whenever, or choose to pay a fee and keep them forever to reopen that slot in your subscription

some also rent accessories

how soon until some label only do rental, and maybe even require their return, as part of exerting further control over their �brand?�

company that sends a dirt cheap WiFi+USB printer to every household in the US with like a 10-page cheap ink cart/printhead after doing deals to sell 50-page carts at gas stations, convenience stores, and drugstores for $9.99 with $1 rebate for mailing in your old cart

if it just worked it could instantly ruin the market for lovely but more expensive printers with way more expensive ink

oh wait these were supposed to be jokes not things I wish people would do

for countries that allow home brew liquor, a usb-powered desktop ethanol distiller machine so you can run your own speakeasy after work. sounds very safe to have one of those running 247

and it�d be easy to stealth it as a USB hub itself, could even be a powered hub with a lot of ports to justify power draw

(USB is sparkproof due to the longest contact being ground, right?)

a device that siphons company power to feed back to your electric vehicle in the parking lot. a 5kWh battery could weigh 20kg and fit in a large backpack, be plugged in when you arrive at work, and then be ready to use in a few hours (my math is probably wrong)

you can charge a pretty sizable battery over the course of a shift using USB-C PD to get maximum watts
