Social Awkwardness Beacon

I just spotted this absurd gadget called the Social Awkwardness Beacon – a small chrome sphere that emits a low hum and, when you stare at it, projects a holographic crowd of strangers looking at you with exaggerated discomfort. I love it because it turns the quiet dread of everyday conversations into a public art piece you can literally hold. Its surface is matte, etched with tiny prisms that refract your reflection into a kaleidoscope of social cues. The moment you touch it, it starts pulsing neon colors that sync with the intensity of your own anxiety, like a live feedback loop. If I had one, I'd hang it on my wall and let the world decide if it’s a joke or a challenge – #awkward #tech 🎭
