[Big Thunks] Hydraulic "exoimplants" for arthritic old people and the question of "endoimplants."

[KuriousKatKommittee]

When one says "powered exoskeletons," (exoimplants henceforth) first thought that pops into yo head is "army technology that allows a soldier to be able to lift cargo heavier than yo weak human self" but there are more practical everyday uses I am sure our aging population (basically everyone in the U.S., Japan, Europe) finna appreciate.


All technological, economic, and biological factors considered, exoskeletons are bound to be accessible to the public eventually, which means any old pops and moms could suit up like it's the alien-fighting mecha montage sequence just to go walk their likewise old, drooling dog Lassie, as exoskeletons are already made by the army so like the DARPAnet to internet progression this event is also inevitable. Exoimplants are less of a burden on the immune system by the sheer fact that they are minimally invasive compared to "endoimplants" seen in SF fiction with them motherfucking medical bay lasers hacking off parts and sewing hard titanium arms, legs, and cocks in their places instead which triggers the immune system faster than an 1980s middle-aged WASP businessman with the habit of calling woman niggas "tots" or "dolls" suddenly materializing at a contemporary "Sexy At Every Size" fat-acceptance intersectional feminist extreme eating competition camp headed by none other than Guy Fieri. With endoimplants there seems much more hassle involved, including the high risk of rejection, and the medical "red tape" for playing Dora the Explorer inside people's organs and popping pills for the rest of your life like you do with "analog organic" implants (kidney, heart, etc) today.

I will change my mind on the subject when more convincing information comes along but for now I am an implant luddite who is pro-exoimplant (outside your body), anti-endoimplant (inside your body). Now let's get some vox populi survey up in this mofo.

Would you be okay with an exoimplant?
Would you be okay with an endoimplant?

Might such be used to shift aesthetics?

Tech is purely utilitarian, my dear nigga. No phenotypically shifting Sicilians Northward with this one.

Damn.. but fair enough.. It was worth a brief longing for, in any case.
