CW: Lewd, wheelchair
Follow me here; sometimes wheelchair users might have difficulties with their clothing options to show off their assets, but, what if the chair could do more than merely assist with mobility?
I present to you:
The Assless Wheelchair. Like assless chaps, but built into the chair.
I know, incredible innovation. I just need several million dollars to make this invention a totally real reality.

🌈 TIL: Color #tv had to solve one stubborn problem.
Millions of black-and-white sets were already in American homes, so #RCA had to encode #color signals that rode invisibly inside existing broadcasts and only color receivers could decode. That backward-compatible #breakthrough, coming after John Logie Baird’s fragile 1928 mechanical system, finally made color TV possible.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.
