Passing out on the couch during one of your favorite shows on Netflix while the episodes continue on and on and on until it eventually asks “are you still watching?” is something we can all relate to.
I’ve woken up to entirely new seasons, having no clue where I drifted off. It’s as tragic as it is tedious to backtrack and find the precise moment where the wheels came off and you began drooling into your innocent pillow.
Thankfully, there is a solution for this rapidly growing epidemic and it comes in the form of socks that are smarter than you. These holiday-happy feet sweaters are equipped with built-in motion sensors that will put a screeching halt to whatever you’re watching once you fade off into the night, dreaming of a world where there’s more to life than sitting on your couch, binge-watching Breaking Bad again.
You gotta hand it to Netflix. As quirky as an idea like this is, they pretty much think of everything when it comes to customer convenience, whereas a company like Time Warner is more interested in insisting that a landline phone be part of an enticingly overpriced cable package.
Up next? A shock collar that zaps the living shit out of you when you stop paying attention to someone and instead stare into your phone.
