Remember Tamagotchis? Those tiny digital pets that taught an entire generation parenting guilt? NYU students not only made them worse, they made them worse for you.
At the schoolโs Stupid Hackathon, two students unveiled a vape with a built-in Tamagotchi that survives only when the user takes another puff. This cyberpunk science fair project tracks the vapeโs voltage and rewards nicotine intake with continued digital life.
The kicker? The creators originally thought about making it anti-vaping before realizing evil was funnier.
