I don't know but this guy might like having a tail.

I could see this making the lifting and moving of heavy objects safer.

A "strap-on appendage"There might be a good market for that.

Clearly your extra front “leg” just doesn’t have enough mass to get the job done.

Robotic tail - thought this was an ad for another creepy s*x doll.

I had no idea there is an epidemic of people falling over!Lots of elderly people in my family have started down the final road after falling over and breaking a brittle bone. Falls are the cause of lots of elderly deaths. It's usually complications from the fall, not the fall itself that causes the death.
But is this practical for the elderly to wear on their strolls? I doubt it.
I can just see all the elderly headed to the dining hall at the "old folks home" wearing their tails. I'll bet tail-collisions would cause far more falls than ever occurred in pre-tail days.

And speaking of manspreading, I have noticed that when space is available, women will sit in one seat and then place all their stuff in the seat next to them.
Seems women and their stuff take up just as much space as a man trying to give the “boys” some space.

Tail works pretty good as a weapon for gators... Though their brains don’t.

Does it come in a Tyrannosaurus rex style, for flailing about at adversaries?

“Hillary needs one.”
Probably. But right now she’s busy using another type of strap-on.

Yep - when the problem is a weak or gimpy leg, adding weight at an angle only increases the stress on the leg.
