What would you do with EXTRA ARMS?

[AviatorTom]

There are now companies that make robotic arms that the user can control with nerve impulses. If you had some extra robotic arms, what would you do with them?

[BCA6010]

How effective are they, actually? We still haven't been able to nail prosthetic replacements (especially arms), while something that actually adds appendages that our brains aren't intended to control seems like they'd actually be more for just holding or bracing stuff than serious manipulation with digits. You would also run into a similar problem that bionic arms stronger than your natural arms have, which is that your own spine wouldn't actually be able to support the weight of the arms themselves plus the weight they carry without some significant reinforcement, which you could maybe compensate for with an exoskeleton/suit, but now you're getting impractical for non-industrial use. So now you're stuck with essentially pushing a shopping cart while being able to update your social media crap at the same time, or an alternative way for a paraplegic to drive a car.

This sort of thing is cool to fantasize about, but reality is much less glamorous.

My rescue kittens don't like each other. I could play with both of them at the same time that way so they wouldn't get jealous. Where do I get these arms?

[Nikki1989]

Better solos!

[TheSpaceGnome]

If robot arms, snacks and heavy lifting, if actual arms, drawing, gaming, and everything else.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Either I would try to fly or I would wait for an itch or give myself a massage.

[Christoff92]

You mean like Dr. Octopus. Plenty 😉

[Wonderingguyy]

Keep them in a backpack and have them on me to use as self defence weapons if I ever needed them. Also maybe try to draw with them.
