      Won’t someone think of the poor working class furries? A fur suit can already cost 10 or 20 grand. Now they’re going to have to add cyborg body parts to the mix as well? Talk about gentrification!

  Yeah, that’ll help elderly people with mobility issues — hucking another 5 kg of metal, motors and batteries around.

  source

  • bleistift2@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The way it’s depicted, the weight will be felt around the center point of the body. That’s where it exerts the least force. Also I contest the notion that a difference of 5kg is that significant, even in elderly people.

    source

    • burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      One of the typical bits of advice for elderly folks walking around is a five pound limit on carried items, so five kilos is probably going to affect things more. Poor mobility is a downward line though, not a sudden switch that is flipped, so there is a range of walking difficulties and I’m sure some of that range will be helped by a device like 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.

    source
• TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  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.

  source

  • Rekorse@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Almost all of it comes down to how long it takes to raise children. It takes a lot more people and effort and time to raise humans vs any other species, and its made us unique in that we have essentially support roles. Elderly people, people who can’t or dont want to have kids of their own, even older children, all have a role to play in making sure we make it to adulthood and continue the species.

    source

    • Patches@ttrpg.network ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Does anyone currently have any elders taking care of their kids? Or having done so?

      The current generation of Elders living today aren’t doing shit for support.

      I would argue given how much voting power they have - they are actively making it worse for parents.

      The “grandmother theory” is supporting this idea.

      The idea is that past a certain age there is an evolutionary benefit to not be able to have kids anymore. Past a certain age, to pass our genes it’s more beneficial to be able to help descendants with their kids rather than having kids on our own.

      source
  • null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

      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.

      Except that it isn’t a religious thing. Human’s are something of an evolutionary anomaly in the sense that the only other animals on earth who go through menopause are a few species of whales. There’s a whole evolutionary theory tied to it called [the grandmother hypothesis] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmother_hypothesis). Or you can watch this PBS video about it if you don’t feel like reading. It’s pretty interesting really.

  • Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    There are other species which have elderly members, namely whales and elephants.

    It’s postulated that having grandmothers helps in a species where young take a long time to mature.

    source

    • kieron115@startrek.website ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The thing is, for it to be an evolutionary advantage it can’t be common. That’s one theory behind why grandmas aren’t more common in species.
