Cause tiny grabbers are just that hard to make?
Would this work with a tarantula?
Sorry for mentioning that

They are going to make you work even when you are dead
I lolled so hard at the OP... then did again at your reply!
This makes me feel sad.
If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I'd love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.
Glory to the emperor undying and his ninth house (i know flesh is more of an every house but 5 and 9 thing)
Finally a solution for ED that works without side effects!
I'm wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).
Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract's ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there's going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)
This is the basic premise of Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie. But it's a lot less nice than that.
Hello, shut up.
(Failing that, write a book, call it The Torment Nexus 2: Brain-Dead Boogaloo - that's a societally accepted way to deal with these thoughts, but do avoid talking about this at convivial gatherings, please, okay, thank you, goodbye.)

Why is Goku here?
Why not?
Definitely. Just wondering, because usually there's a reason people put stuff in videos.
Goku didn't die for our sins for us to end up doing this kind of unholy shit
Maybe because Goku has been revived multiple times
My mind did not go straight to a sex thing. That would be horrible.
Did it saunter gaily to a sex thing?
I have deep-seated arachnophobia and deeply appreciate the grotesque, and I still feel so bad for the spiders, c'mon! I at least hope they died of natural causes well before someone decided to try using them as a grabber toy... Like, at least that!
You missed the part where the first step was
a) Euthanize Spider
Well I guess you missed the memes about what we do to horseshoe crabs
You didn't just miss "euthanize spider" but also the very "humanely" way of slowly freezing it to death for 5 days. And I share your thoughts. I really really really hate spiders, but I love them. As they're fascinating creatures with incredible abilities. If that makes sense. Also very useful.
