Automatically ~~increases~~ decreases/escalates defcon once every 24h in which no texts are exchanged, unless you hit "snooze".

Defcon 1 is white? I'd expect it to be red.

Himouto! Umaru-chan
It's cute and funny if you're looking for something lighthearted.

I think this is called friendship lamps or touch lamps. They're connected online and when one person touches their lamp the other person's lamp lights up or changes in some way. There are a few Arduino/ESP projects for making these, or you can buy them. They're promoted as a way to keep a long distance relationship going.

I'm curious, what's the supposed effect?

[โ€“] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It just lets one person know the other person is thinking about them, but without the arduous burden of sending a text. "I love you but typing. is. haaard. So I'll just touch this lamp lol."

Hmm, I think I get it now, it does seem a bit easier looking at it that way

I read and agree with the other comment here, but it's mainly a kind of nonverbal communication. I linked our computers and gave my gf the ability to change my background whenever she wanted, wherever she was, and vice versa. it's just a way of being close and all up in each other's business when we can't get all up in each other's business.

Call bells but with technology

My spouse came home from a week at the hospital to a stupid button I hooked up that messaged me "Emergency! {name} needs you!"

It was perfect.

This is both sweet and funny. I'd love to have a spouse like that. Thanks for taking care of them :)
