Took me a long time to realize this is a cast on someone's arm and not a strange cream cheese train model...

Thanks, I was trying to figure out what the hell I was looking at.

I love the hand beneath it answering my question if this was to heavy or not.

You could probably invent something like this that's not a cast, just an arm accessory holder sleeve thing. The cupholder would need to rotate for horizontal and vertical orientation probably

And if we did, we'd still be on the hook for thousands and if we're really unlucky the deductible will reset soon after 🫠 what an unbelievably shit healthcare system we have

It sounds like something that would be popular in the 1960s, and it's filled with the ungodly mix of hot dog, olive, celery, kiwi and grape slices for some fucking reason.

the cupholder needs to be gryoscopic, so it always points up due to it's own weight.

More like $82,000 not covered by your insurance

And the "cream cheese" is actually jello somehow

That actually seems to be the photographer's hand, judging from the heels.

Introducing angular momentum to a broken bone sounds awful. Gimbal is the tech you're looking for. :)

I don't think they do casts anymore, but I could be wrong. Haven't seen one in ages.

Now THIS is something that needs to be boycott. ASAP! Think of all the productivity losses the world will suffer if we let this innovation fester until people forget how to use their left arms 😱

I think you mean the PHONE HOLDER needs to rotate for horizontal & vertical orientation. Not the cup holder.

And also lockable/adjustable, so I can 3D-print a fleshlight attachment for it.

We don't have a common parlance word for those two bits of the palm in English. Do not say "heel" though, that is very wrong.

The medical term in English is "thenar" and "hypothenar", but if you had just said “based on the palm" that would have been sufficient explanation for another speaker to get it.

I could 3D print something like this in a couple hours.

I am sorry for laughing at this. But everytime I think we are getting screwed I remember I could have it worse, I could live in the USA
