I mean, this chastity thing is weird to me too, but "serves them right?" Assuming consent, I feel the answer to badly implemented sex gear should be well-implemented sex gear, not no sex gear at all. "What have we come to as a species" is an expression of shock better saved for things like our species' propensity to torture and kill unwilling victims. That's fucked up.

It was more an expression of dismay at the lack of evolutionary fitness these actions are displaying. Your fitness is literally measured by your ability to reproduce, and here are people locking their penis inside a device that a) it intended for somebody else to control (weird) b) is actually defective and they ended up being stuck inside it, and worst case could've set their member on fire. Somebody give them a Dar…

We'll inevitably see similar headlines about internet-connected, autonomous-capable automobiles. It's only a matter of time given the trajectory we seem to be on, and I fear the consequences will be a whole lot worse than some embarrassing fire department visits involving bolt cutters.

Almost all aerosol cans use a flammable gas (they are cheap, have a high expansion ratio, and are low pressure liquids). Flour, sugar and other powders found in the kitchen can actually be explosive if they are mixed with air correctly (eg: when tossed onto a flame). Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is probably the only improvised item in the kitchen that you should use to put out fires. A kitchen should have a fire…

Really, a kitchen should also have a type K fire extinguisher which isolates burning oil from air to prevent reignition (burning oil extinguished with an ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher is likely to reignite on its own). Unfortunately they seem rare in home kitchens, likely just due to a lack of awareness as they really aren't that expensive at the home improvement store. Glass fiber blankets are also a good choic…

Smart consumers won't buy a $10 memory card on Ali because it's likely to be a destructive fake, but people will buy Internet-controlled electronics for their favorite nether regions of their bodies. Amazing. I guess that's part of the thrill.

It's more about a lack of available reputational signals. There's little brand awareness and few people are willing to review such intimate products. With electronics you can go by manufacturer if nothing else, intimate products often don't even have branding.

This thing has been an absolute nightmare since it was released 18 months ago. I've had a few people contact me (note: https://buttplug.io (NSFW) is my project, I get contacted about stuff like this all the time, someday I will write a book about various support stories) with their hardware stuck on. There have been multiple security issues reported, and the company really seems to have no clue how to deal with the t…
