Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

At CES 2025, a company called Sybran Innovation showed off the Code27 Character Livehouse. It's an AI-powered digital purgatory that you can trap a small anime girl in, forever.

Oh gods, its not even holographic? ... and what's with the complete lack of imagination on the part of whoever wrote that headline? This can and will be used for talking to anthropomorphic dicks, assuming anyone buys it at all.

Right? The guy who married Hatsune Miku a decade ago had a better one.

He probably was not creating it to be a soulless cash grab.

Yes, yes, futa too. If they sell one or a million, it'll be harder to find the fetishes that its NOT used for. Even hand-holding and remembering dead loved ones.

V-tuber mini jail.

Wasn't that a black mirror episode?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Subsequently parodied by The Simpsons in a Treehouse of Horror!

No shit! They made fukouna shoujo into a real thing!

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I read that as, "Sybian." 😂

Wouldn't be them, they make an actually useful product.

Can it be filled with... things?

[–] MHLoppy@fedia.io 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

RIGHT THERE OFFICER, THAT'S THE ONE

We're going to need his full IP address and browser history stat

So this is what? The tech equivalent of a rainbow dash mini in a jar?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Similar concept, but you shouldn't cum on expensive electronics. Unless they're designed for it, that is.

Oh god is this designed to handle cum?

It's what he would've wanted I think

Lol imagine waking up to Johnny flicking you off and trying to break out and kill you

"Wake the fuck up"

"Haha Johnny is so funny, always talking about this soukiller program and

.being trapped in the Mikoshi soul prison by Saburo Arasaka...
what a goofball! That's not something that can happen! Haha!"

Open API so we can add Digimon to it or something to make a desktop toy

The way they describe it makes it sound like a story beat from a Black Mirror episode.

The only valid reason to have one of these is cosplaying as Kreiger from Archer.

But you only get one of these after a sweet can.

Finally I can have my anime waifu
