I hate this world so much. Why are so many humans such evil fucks?

Because the planet is dying.Resources are running out. The system is collapsing. In times of societal stress the human is programmed to:

  • Grab everything you can
  • Gravitate to ruthless leaders (who would hopefully sort things out)
  • Root out the perceived enemy

I feel like they are going to shock themselves on accident... A lot.

I feel like this would be very entertaining.

Magic pain glove.

Wonder how they react to water

Like famous Spider-Man villain Shocker?

At least they're not hiding which side they're on.

More people will flee, push, shove, fight back, and react harder if grabbed or tagged to the ground because of those gloves. So: more people will end up shot by ICE goons.

Hopefully they will run out of of bullets before we run out of humans, so we can more easily return the treatment.

Hopefully they forget they're wearing them, and scratch their balls.

Someone needs to repurpose these and make some irl Black Power Fists

Can the gloves detect ball scratching apart from ball grabbing? I hope not.

To keep them in line, right?

Like dog shock collars?

People need to be carrying bear spray (due to all the bear attacks), and cattle prods (due to all the, uh, cow attacks) .

You just know the "officers" are salivating at the chance to use this for the lulz on anyone they don't like, to use it to torture the detained, whether freshly-kidnapped or long-term concentration camp prisoners. Cruelty = entertainment.

To the officers, right? Right?!

HubertManne@piefed.social · 4 pts · 6d

can't wait for one of these guys to zap themselves or a partner.

The resistance needs to have these as well.

This reminds me of Krieger's ultimate bum shock fights. From Archer.

Which is now apparently reality.

No worries. Our side has joy buzzers.

Sounds like you need a crash override.
