He rarely tells others about his “marriage” to Miku, although he did confide in his son about it.

“He was like, ‘Oh, OK,’ and didn’t seem bothered in the least,” Shimoda said.

That is the response of a young man who has been freed from any concerns about disappointing his father for the rest of his life. Dad found your ladybug mind control sissification vore hentai stash? Big deal, he married a phone. At least a Hitachi wand never accidentally picks up a facetime call at an inopportune moment.

One thing left unanswered by the article: if you propose to a phone, are you supposed to buy it an expensive ringer?

I would watch you perform stand up

Thanks, kinda sounds like a nightmare to me though. On a good day, I think I can come up with some decent material on the spot but it takes me a while to loosen up enough to try it. Online, I can go back and edit if a better idea occurs to me halfway through or take a minute to think about it/add some really weird search terms to my FBI file.

I get that. Some people are just really good joke writers and others are really good with delivery. Writing a joke to be spoken and not read is hard.

This sentence made my day :)

I just checked e6, there's a natural habitok video two comics a MLP picture and a single standalone picture for vore and ladybug.

Which means lady bug mind control sissification vore is a untapped fetish that has never had art made of it.

By God we have found something even furries have never thought of...

It was a fun one to cook up.

How's that working out for him in light of this article?

So this is where we're heading as society, when you grow old and you are left alone you can pay $17 per month to be able to speak to someone.

Not your hardware, not your girlfriend.

To be fair, somewhat cheaper than the other way.

From what little I know of the way Japanese humour works, there's a decent chance this is all just a bit. There was a guy in Japan who married a different kind of virtual girlfriend not that long before LLMs hit the mainstream, and I heard from a few different Japanese people that he was almost certainly doing it as a joke. Apparently Japanese humour is very, very deadpan and they love seeing people really commit to the bit.

Japanese YouTube is pretty wild. It's even better not knowing what's exactly going on.

I dunno about recent youtubers but here's a comedy sketch from the 90s

This guy is also famous

There was a recent video I saw explaining some Japanese memes (like how a guy ranting on a train got turned into a game) but I can't find it rn--I'll check again later

I can see a die hard macho culture lover doing this as a joke

As Miku has no physical presence, the relationship is purely platonic.

If someone isn't already banging on that, I am pretty sure that they will be before long.

Yeah.

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

I‘m already waiting for the fist-bot-3000 !

Well they do say that's why betamax failed. I think in reality it's fairly was a bit more complicated than that, but it can't have helped.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

And blu-ray over HD-DVD, although I've heard a couple of Sony fanboy rants telling me how wrong I am, so take it fwiw.

I told them they should have gone with Alphamax but nobody wanted to hear it once the Sigmamax schism happened.

If you buy one of those then you'd better give up on ever sleeping with actual woman ever again.

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This bodes really well for humanity...

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The internet should be cheering, given how misanthropic and antinatalist everyone on the internet is.

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 0 points 1 day ago

Honestly, I am cheering, the world is turning to shit. Hurry it up!

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl 1 points 2 days ago

Less drama, i suppose.
