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!

Also these ears will help to uh, absorb the echoes and extra noise of the world around you. Yeah.

Wait, I … could make human-cat hears that actually have microphones in them and that turn towards the gaze and they could actually ear out of them if they’re wearing linked earphones … could even do some psychoacoustic filtering to give some kind of “superearing” ability … Then some cunt like Elon is going to just steal my idea… meh. … eff it

Is it prehensile? This could lead to octopus-like abilities if you added more than one.

Yup. That’s the most cost-effctive solution to the elderly falling problem. Trust me there is no other reason we are doing this.

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.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 33 minutes 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.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 hours 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.
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 7 hours 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.
Patches@ttrpg.network 6 hours 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.
ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago
darwinian selection has nothing to do with aging. that’s religious right / 1920s robber baron bullshit.
nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
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.
kieron115@startrek.website 6 hours ago
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.
Bronstein_Tardigrade@lemmygrad.ml 2 hours ago
It was Herbert Spencer who coined the phrase “survival of the fittest,” and felt that Darwin’s biological theory of natural selection could be expanded to other aspects of society like philosophy and economics. His writings were misinterpreted by the creators of social Darwinism theory and eugenicists.
