Buckle up, Tech Enthusiasts! CES 2025 Just Got Weird (In the Best Way Possible)
Robot Buddies Gone Wild
Remember when we thought robot vacuums were cool? Well, hold onto your socks - literally! The Roborock Z70 now comes with a mechanical pincer arm that picks up your stray socks and tosses them in the laundry basket1. It's like having a passive-aggressive roommate who's tired of your messy habits, minus the judgmental sighs.And speaking of quirky robots, meet Mirumi, the world's first emotionally needy backpack accessory2. This tiny furry friend attaches to your bag and acts shy around strangers, basically doing what we all wish we could do at awkward social gatherings9.
Food Tech That Nobody Asked For
Ever thought, "Gosh, I wish my coffee had more cat in it"? Well, someone did! The Nékojita FuFu is a tiny robotic cat that mounts on your mug and blows on your hot beverages4. Because apparently, waiting for your coffee to cool down naturally is so 2024.Then there's the Electric Salt Spoon that makes your food taste saltier without adding actual salt2. It's perfect for those times when you want to feel like you're living in a sci-fi movie while eating your morning eggs.
Smart Home Gets Smarter(ish)
LG decided to combine an air purifier with a cat tree5, because apparently, your cat's judgment of your breathing air quality wasn't enough. It even comes with a built-in weighing scale, so your cat can track its fitness goals (spoiler alert: it won't).
The "Sure, Why Not?" Category
- A security camera that shoots paintballs at intruders8. Because nothing says "home security" like turning your living room into a Jackson Pollock painting.
- A toothbrush that promises to clean your teeth in 20 seconds7. For when those exhausting 2-minute brushing sessions are just too much to handle.
- A gaming chair that can heat or cool your behind7. Finally, the technology we've all been waiting for!
The Luxury "Because You Can" Corner
For those with money to burn, Ultrahuman is offering a "rare" smart ring in gold or platinum, starting at a mere $1,9001. Because apparently, regular smart rings aren't fancy enough for your royal fingers.Remember folks, this is just the tip of the weird tech iceberg. CES 2025 proves that no matter how far technology advances, there will always be room for gadgets that make us ask, "But... why?"
