Too interestingly strange for the Shoutbox!

The World's first bendable OLED gaming monitor has been introduced by Corsair and LG! Corsair released its high end, 45" 21:9 aspect ratio monitor three weeks ago! For more details, read the article at -> https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/...aming-display/. Corsair's monitor is manually bendable to a curvature of 800R (R = Radius measurement units. More information is available here). Corsair's partner, LG, released its high end 42" 21:9 aspect ratio monitor two weeks ago. For more details, listen to [Narrated audio track available] or read the article at -> https://manofmany.com/entertainment/...gaming-monitor. LG's monitor is bendable via a remote control to a curvature of 900R and the curvature can vary by five degrees. The price for each bendable monitor? If you have to ask then you probably can't afford it! LOL! No, actually no price was mentioned for each monitor but considering that each are "High end" pieces of gaming technology, it will be expensive (The expert reviewer's estimate, in the second of the following two videos, is for a sticker price of around $1,00USD to $1,500+USD).

A "First look" video of the Corsair monitor can be seen at -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbxPGoIPUzE. A demo video of the Corsair monitor in action using games like Cyberpunk 2077, Doom (2016) and Forza Horizon 5 can be seen at -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_kfDUpnzjA. The average gamer probably will either have to sacrifice/forego a few things and start saving up like crazy or wait for the "Trickle Down effect" to eventually reach mid-range, practically priced monitors whenever they come out in the future (Hopefully, sometime in the near future?) with such similar features, in order to get their hands on this kind of technology.

Kenda is now finally shipping its "Reevo" Hubless E-Bike which it introduced for a price of $1,999+USD in 2021 (Note: The prototype was featured on Indiegogo in 2020)! Currently, a standard package (Includes e-bike only) is shipping out for $2,698USD while a premium package (Includes e-bike and accessories) is shipping out for $3,188USD. Check it out -> here and on Kenda's Indiegogo project page (Has demo video)-> here!

IMHO, the Reevo's design must have been inspired by the upgraded Light Cycles seen in the 2010 Tron Legacy movie (See reference video -> here)! Also, see news about the progress towards the creation of a third film in the Tron franchise -> here!

Uber Eats in cooperation with Sydney, Australia based Serve Robotics, has rolled out its fleet of autonomous food delivery robots in West Hollywood, California (See article here)! The robots are powered by electric batteries that will last all day on a single charge and can be recharged at any available electricity source. Each robot is designed to navigate real-world, urban environments. Currently, two live human operators overseen by Serve Robotics' Product Manager and head engineer, Dean Apostolopoulos, monitor the robots via built-in cameras. If necessary, the operators can take over each robot's controls and pilot it to make course corrections (They're also probably monitoring the robots to deal with situations other than for what the robots are programmed to handle, like attempted thefts of delivery food or even the robots themselves). IMHO, it looks like the future is now here as life is imitating art (Rather than "Art imitating life") as all of this appears to take a nod back to the public food Servo-Droid seen in the 1995 movie "Judge Dredd" starring Slyvester Stallone -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9rMaMEpC2E. Ever wonder what "Recycled food" taste like?

It's too bad that none of them is the Pokemon memento card that sold for $480,000 AUD (or ~$343,886 USD), Rukia~Chan! (Scroll down to the third item featured in my post). May you have a Happy New Year~!




A fully auto-transformable (No human hands assistance required!), interactive (Voice activated), graphically programmable via mobile app (With more commands to be released for download in the future), 19" robotic G1 Optimus Prime toy was released last year in June by Robosen Robotics Co. Ltd under license from Hasbro. The highly detailed, 5000 piece toy has 60 microchips that power 27 motor joints to transform Optimus between robot and vehicle modes and retails [MSRP] for $1,400USD (See pictures and the [transformation] action video in the following article -> here). For more robots available from Robosen Robotics, visit their site at -> https://robosen.com/homeIndex. Autobots, transform and roll out!

A new VR headset that can actually kill a player IRL when he/she dies in a video game has been created. See story here. Created by Palmer Luckey, a founder of Occulus Rift who has since left the company, the new VR headgear called the “OQPNVG”, has three explosive charges embedded above the forehead section that can "instantly destroy the brain of the user." when screen signals from a game detected by photosensors in the VR headset register the loss of a player character's life. Of course, it is all "Proof of concept" as according to the article, there are no future plans to release this device.

Move over, XBox Series X! KFC's KFConsole "Game console" can heat up chicken and play games at 4K/240FPS simultaneously! Try topping that! LOL! Just kidding! Actually, I had read the article about this concept game console more than a year back on "Man of Many" magazine (It's more of a gaming PC than a game console) but chucked it away in one of my email's archive folders and forgot about it until a few days ago (Maybe I am getting old. Oh well, nobody [physically] lives forever). It has a built-in mini oven to re-heat and keep your KFC chicken warm - That may sound ridiculous but it's real!

You can read all about it in the "Man of Many" article here. More information is available on Wikipedia including specs (See here) and on the Cooler Master site (See here). Before any hard core gamers get a "hard on", the console is not scheduled for production or release as of this date. The prototype is only a "proof of concept" - Maybe Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos will "acquire" it for Christmas since they're probably the only two that can afford to "Broker a deal" to persuade the KFC exes to sell the only working prototype in the World!

If that's still not enough to "Fill" anybody's appetite for information about KFC brand marketing, there's also a concept, custom built "KFC arcade machine" that MAME lovers will crave! See the following article here! That should fill up anyone's appetite/thirst for knowledge!

A rare event has occurred earlier this month: The discovery of a Pink "Grasshopper"! No, it's not a new cocktail that was created in a nationally obscure, yet local hip bar. It's actually a real live, species of insect called a Katydid that is related to the grasshopper. This rare, beautiful specimen was discovered earlier in June 2023 in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Read about, see pictures and watch the video in the following article here. My guess for the unusual pigment is that it's a defense/survival mechanism for the insect as it allows him/her to "blend in" with the surrounding vegetation by mimicking the colors of a pink flower, so as to protect him/herself from natural predators. This is probably more proof that God works in mysterious ways~!

The public bathrooms at Haruno-Ogawa Park and Yoyogi Fukamachi Park in Toyko have walls that become transparent (See through) when the facility is not in use! There is a lock inside that when activated, turns the glass walls opaque so that privacy is maintained when the bathroom is occupied. Hmm ... I wonder what would happen if that lock ever malfunctioned while someone is using the bathroom! LOL! Check it all out here!

On October 23, Crocs released for sale, it's "Crocs Classic Cowboy Boots" for the "Ugly Fashion" movement (See article here and reviews w/audio here). Not satisified with the success of its KFC Crocs that smell like KFC fried chicken (See post #1) three years ago, the unorthodox casual footwear maufacturer decided to create the new style with simulated Corcodile skin in a 12 minute meeting after studying internet memes. The collectible "Crocs Cowboy Boots" are available (If you can still find a pair in your size. Many of the larger sizes are already sold out) on their official website (See here) for $120USD retail.

In the mid-twentieth century, people were told by scientists that saturated fats from dairy products like pure butter were bad for their health, so people switched to butter substitutes like margarine and vegetable spread that were low in saturated fats. Then in the later part of the twentieth century, circa the 1990s, science revealed that margarine was discovered to have trans-fats (The same applies to vegetable spread) and sugar which are bad for cardiovascular and metabolic health. Now in the Twenty-First century, science has now revealed that butter may not have been as bad for our health compared to the butter substitutes as the saturated fat in butter exclusively helps our bodies properly absorb vitamins like A, D, and E when eaten in moderation.

Some people especially those who follow the Keto diet and Carnivore diet or who just enjoy the taste of pure butter, have taken the facts and their passion to extreme limits by eating whole butter in bar or round form which can be seen in videos on TikTok (Read the following article here). Three of the top pure butter consumers are Butter_Dawg (See him chomping five sticks of butter below), 614lyfe (See him munching on a complete 10 pound round of butter below) and baderalsafar (See him chow down on a giant bar of butter dipped in honey among other foods like a chicken drumstick, breast and wing including all of the bones and more below)! The linked article mentions "butterrgirll" on the women's side as a top butter eater but in her videos, she is only seen taking a bite out of a bar of pure butter or a bite out of butter dipped in Marinara sauce and not the entire butter in whatever form it may be in, unlike in all of the guys' videos. IMHO, eating all of that butter must have a laxative effect on the body, so I wouldn't try it unless you're wearing a super absorbent diaper! Bon appetite~!
