Doubt it. You can calculate what % of mothers feel this way by selling it (no insurance) for 15k and see who buys it…

If you think this is fun you might enjoy MHRD - a game about building a gradually building up to functioning CPU using only logic gates (i.e. transistors/relays). You can have all the puzzley fun of it without any soldering etc.

I mean people don't go picket over it, but it's got broad enough appeal that one of south park's more famous episodes is ridiculing it. It's not inside the overton window right now, but no reason it couldn't be. Mos

Well maybe not yet, but there's no reason we couldn't invent one. I can think of 10 ways to make an app like tiktok that's more social and promotes building relationships with people in your vicinity. I bet you could too.
