People give you their seat in public transport?

But also I must say this is one of the strangest questions ever. Hope you're not a "transabled" wannabe.

Lol no I'm not transabled. I didn't even know what that was, had to Google it.

It crossed my mind because when I sleep I always feel my arms get in the way, thought it would be great to detach your arms for sleep. Then I wondered if people without arms have a noticeably more comfy sleep because they can lay on their side without their arm/s getting in the way, thought continued to other hidden benefits of missing limbs.

There's a girl on YT who has one arm and said exactly that - "I don't know how you people with two arms sleep" I think.

[–] alehc 3 points 1 year ago

Lol, I like you tought process

[–] spittingimage 3 points 1 year ago

You'd need to keep at least one arm for scratching, and reattaching the other arm.

I'm really, really good at throwing garbage into the can from across the room so I don't have to get up.

This might be more or less expected, depending on your regional healthcare system, but on behalf of a colleague, I'd like to say: Terminator arm.

Bionic limps, especially legs do look cool! I mean I obviously wouldn't want to lose a limb, but a far as replacements, they're certainly a step up from wooden peg legs and other dated alternatives.

One bionic arms/hands get the same level of sophistication and function as flesh and bone ones, they will be a fantastic alternative for those that need it
