    People give you their seat in public transport?

    But also I must say this is one of the strangest questions ever. Hope you’re not a “transabled” wannabe.

      Lol no I’m not transabled. I didn’t even know what that was, had to Google it.

      It crossed my mind because when I sleep I always feel my arms get in the way, thought it would be great to detach your arms for sleep. Then I wondered if people without arms have a noticeably more comfy sleep because they can lay on their side without their arm/s getting in the way, thought continued to other hidden benefits of missing limbs.

    My dad lost half a middle finger from a horse riding accident. He trolls people who don’t know by sticking the nub up to his nostril as if he had half a finger up his nose

    This might be more or less expected, depending on your regional healthcare system, but on behalf of a colleague, I’d like to say: Terminator arm.

      Bionic limps, especially legs do look cool! I mean I obviously wouldn’t want to lose a limb, but a far as replacements, they’re certainly a step up from wooden peg legs and other dated alternatives.

      One bionic arms/hands get the same level of sophistication and function as flesh and bone ones, they will be a fantastic alternative for those that need it
