Plot bunny for y'all

NT News said:
Everybody’s favourite porn site PornHub is developing a wearable gadget called the Wankband that lets you charge your electronic devices by having a tug.

Their video touts the wankband as the ‘first gadget of the wearable tech era that allows men to love the planet by loving themselves’.

I can finally be one with Mother Earth.

I should have patented this instead of writing a story about it :p

Fun thing - if they actually did try to patent the basic idea of a wank-powered charger (as opposed to some detail of the engineering), the existence of your story could be used to torpedo it. I remember somebody once tried to patent a waterbed only to find that the idea had already appeared in a Heinlein story.
 
It just dawned on me that the entire planet could be powered by 14 year old boys! I think I was at 6 times a day back then....
 
Heinlein

Robert Heinlein first described a water bed in "Stranger in a Strange Land"; there is no earlier record in the literature describing such a device. He based the idea on one of his experiences in the military; at one of the stations he was based at there was an outdoor swimming pool, and he would float around at night, looking at the moon. The company which first introduced the waterbed was called the "share-water bed company"; given that sharing water is a central theme in "Stranger in a Strange Land", the connection seems easily made. It is widely believed that Heinlein should be credited with the invention of the water bed.

That plot bunny is hilarious. I would have believed it to be an April Fools gag. It brought a shot of happiness into my day. Thanks for that.
