!! OMG, this chonky 6-pound phone case could curb your smartphone addiction !!

A neuroscience startup has created a 6-pound smartphone case that is so heavy and cumbersome to use that it should limit most people’s screentime by around half.

Smartphone cases are usually light and slick by design, but one company thinks the opposite could actually do us some good!

Matter Neuroscience decided to create perhaps the heaviest and chunkiest phone case money can buy. There was a purpose to their madness, however, as they were trying their best to create the most inconvenient smartphone case in order to make the handheld as difficult to use as possible. The stainless steel phone case weighs a whopping 6 pounds (2.7 kg), heavier than a 16-inch MacBook Pro laptop, and consists of two separate pieces that screw together around the phone.

Matter Neuroscience hopes to reach its $75,000 crowdfunding goal, but, at the time of this writing, it has managed to raise just $20,000. Find more from the protoype after the jump! Would you buy, OMG?

!! OMG, thr33’s c0mp4ny!? Suzanne Somers’ AI clone created by her husband, two years after TV icon’s death: ‘You can’t tell the difference. It’s amazing.’ !!

IN AI News: Suzanne Somers’ widow Alan Hamel has created an AI clone of his dead wife for online fan interactions.

“It was Suzanne. And I asked her a few questions and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away,” Hamel, 89, told the publication about the AI clone of his late wife. “When you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can’t tell the difference. It’s amazing. And I mean, I’ve been with Suzanne for 55 years, so I know what her face looks like. When I just look at the two of them side by side, I really can’t tell which one is the real and which one is the AI…”

!! OMG, Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda tells fans: “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad.” !!

“If you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening.

You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross…

!! OMG, Jennifer Armentrout’s The Primal of Blood and Bone Is Promoted by mayo and smells like garlic !!

Dat chew, capitalism?

Remember the joy of scratch-and-sniff stickers and those Strawberry Shortcake picture books? Well, if you grew up to be a sick fuck and now crave a whiff of garlic that comes from a partnership with mayo while reading your romance novels, then THIS ONE’S FOR YOU!

Jennifer Armentrout’s The Primal of Blood and Bone, in partnership with Hellmann’s mayonnaise, is releasing an “exclusive edition… printed with garlic-infused ink.” That means that this book smells like garlic, and you can also slurp up some Hellmann’s “Craven Proof” mayonnaise while reading it.

The Primal of Blood and Bone is the sixth installment in Armentrout’s Blood and Ash series. The books feature “Cravens,” among other magical creatures. The Cravens are created by a vampiric-type species and as such, one assumes, are not fans of garlic.

DISGOOSTANG! But bound to keep the vampires away?

!! OMG, there you have it! Lesbians are not responsible for 100% of all space crime! !!

A viral meme claiming lesbians commit “100% of all space crime” has resurfaced, referencing the 2019 case of NASA astronaut Anne McClain—the only person ever investigated for alleged criminal activity in space.

During a six-month ISS mission, McClain was accused by her estranged wife Summer Worden of improperly accessing Worden’s bank account from orbit. Worden filed complaints with the FTC and NASA alleging identity theft.

Initially reported as potentially the first space crime, the investigation later cleared McClain entirely. Federal prosecutors instead charged Worden with making false statements to authorities. Investigators found McClain had accessed the account with prior consent, as she’d done throughout their relationship to manage family finances.

Though the allegations proved false, the case sparked the ongoing joke about lesbian space crime statistics—technically accurate as it remains the only investigated space crime case, despite being unfounded.Charges against Anne McClain were dropped in 2020.
