looks more like a scorpion tail.
honestly the best posture advice I have ever gotten is to sit like I have a tail (you would have to tilt your hips forward and stick your butt out behind you to put the tail up behind you rather than curling your tailbone under such that you'd be sitting on the tail).
Nobody wants to do that because men are thirsty.
I have a feeling a completely different audience has a definite interest. They would just cover it in the same fur as the rest of their costume.
I was hoping for research into genetically adding one to a human, but I'll.take this.
Yup. That's the most cost-effctive solution to the elderly falling problem. Trust me there is no other reason we are doing this.
Money for elderly that can prevent them from needing very expensive nursing home care is a huge market with no limit if the product works well. Especially for Japan but really everywhere will have increasingly large cohorts of their elderly people with not enough young people to care for them.
My dreams of kick boxing like a kangaroo may finally come truee
Imagine working in a retirement home and one day one of the residents tells you "I am taking part in this clinical trial" and then she comes back as Doctor fucking Octopus.
Finally something to balance the enormous mass I have in front.
If you have an erection lasting more than four hours please contact your doctor.
He'll probably be pretty impressed and offer a high five.
But how will I then hang my coat?
Now if it can stab people and drain them of their bioenergy, I can reach my final form!
I'm supposed to be cleaning but now I'm laughing too hard imagining some "saturday morning cartoon" tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.
tokusatsu
What does this word mean?
It encompasses a few genres of live action japanese tv/movies but I was thinking like power rangers/super sentai.
Tonight on Lifetime-Japan, Speed Walkers - A motley crew of septuagenarians must defeat the evil doer, osteoarthritis man, else they will be forced to deal with painful joints! Can these grizzled grandmas come out victorious? Tune in to find out!

Looking at other papers from the same lab and this is the silliest paper I've ever seen, they're evaluating the effect of shining rgb lights at glass noodles on the eating experience
About time they did something for the furries.
Won't people get used to this, making it harder to walk without it?
Only if it's useful
In all seriousness, human elderlies are actually evolutionary anomaly, because if Darwinian tenet of "survival of the fittest" applies 100% of the time, they would not be the norm. But the fact that old people are prevalent in human society is the proof that we are compassionate and loving creatures that transcend cold evolutionary programming. We care for others and the vulnerable.
There are other species which have elderly members, namely whales and elephants.
Itโs postulated that having grandmothers helps in a species where young take a long time to mature.
Sure, in the context of physical abilities.
However, i think bands of hominids who care for each other have a survival advantage. I guess thats who we've evolved to be social creatures.
Also,, nanna might not be able to hunt mammoths anymore, but she knows what to do in years when the mammoth dont come.
darwinian selection has nothing to do with aging. that's religious right / 1920s robber baron bullshit.
Actually having elders in human societies is shown to positively correlate with better outcomes for the youth in that society. Grandmothers in particular have a measurable benefit.

Cat girls or helping the elderly walk steadily?
Both?
It's Japan, it was definitely Cat Girls first, literally any justification to spend money developing this second.
If it were me it'd be a dragon tail, but to each their own.
Will it stop my girlfriend from poking at my butthole when I'm above her on the stairs?
Nothing will
Ladies first, for this reason
Don't hide it Japan, you're just doing this to make cat girls
Also these ears will help to uh, absorb the echoes and extra noise of the world around you. Yeah.

YES. THIS IS THE GOAL.
I posted this comment on another thread:
My elation can't be measured.
Both sysadmins and hentai enthusiasts rejoice!
The next thing I need is an articulated mouth and the ability to spit fire. And spikes on my back!
For balance as well, obviously.
