Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

We should be able to take our arms off at night, although I don't know how you'd pick them up in the morning.

At the moment I honestly wish I could take my arm off at night. Pins, needles and carpel tunnel does not make for a good sleep

I could never figure out arm position when sharing a bed, always ended up either with pins and needles or over-heated.

Fortunately that is no longer an issue for me (for some 16 years give or take) so the arms do as they please. Choosing which bit of eczema touches the bed is more problematic, mind.

You'd have to have a sort of rack on the wall at shoulder height that you could unhook them into before bed and hook them back on again in the morning.

While we're on detachable body parts, being able to take my boobs off like a waistcoat would be quite handy sometimes.

Bizarrely, this is something i've thought about for many years. I'd like to be able to put one hand in a claw shape, remove the whole arm, then hold it in my other arm and use it as a back scratcher. And imagine how useful it would be to be able to slide your nose off your face when you have a cold, run your nose under a tap and slide it back on again. Instant relief! Itchy or blocked ear? Just unscrew it, use a Q Tip to clean / scratch it, then screw it back on again.

If we're redesigning things that much, how about just turning off the "itch" functionality? 😁

Me too, @Raetomic Kitten. Although being male, I'd probably just them hanging up in the cupboard.

Reminds me of a 1990s song about a detachable penis, I think I it was Australian and didn't make it over here
