    Thanks for the Adams Family reference, I have no ability to imagine a disembodied hand or look at the OG image.

    I’m 100% on board with this.

    Shit, I’d trade one of my hands for this.

    Damn the consequences! This is all of my wildest dreams come true! I never even knew that this was what ALL of this has been for!

    Let’s fucking go!

    They could have even said “that thing from the Adams Family” and not been wrong. This is just purposely obtuse

    They need to run this thing through the genetic algorithms a bit longer, that shuffle is pretty janky. It could be really impressive if the movement were a bunch smoother. But as it is, it moves like a windup toy.

      I think it is because it is so heavy in the rear end and cannot move the back ‘legs’ effectively without falling backwards. Maybe it could walk on three fingers and shift the mass forward.

      Yup, one hand holds it down while the other hand cuts it to pieces.

    That little guy? Its name was Thing. Am I so old that only I remember? Was it too hard for them to look that one up?

    Useless until it can keep the middle finger in the air so it looks like a little horsie.

    Also must have an articulable palm so it can palm something and pretend to poop
