The Happiness Hat is a hat that is apparently designed to train you towards "Improved Social Interacting." It was invented by Lauren McCarthy. The hat uses a 'bend sensor' which is attached to the cheek to measure the size of the wearers smile, it then sends the information to an 'Arduino micro-controller'. If the Arduino controller senses that you're not smiling big enough, it sends a signal to a servo motor on the back of the hat which pushes a metal spike into your head.

Haha, that's wonderful.
Sounds kinky.
That makes me unhappy.
Do you want to play a game? On A side note, I wonder how many people would get off with this on their head and a gag in their mouth?
That sounds evil and Orwellian.
Reminds me of this creepy flash movie called "Smile". :ohdear: EDIT: Found it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tRCo8kKJxI[/media]
The hat is strapped to your head. Unfortunately you are forced to watch your entire family slaughtered before your eyes. Survive and you get a billion dollars. Would you play?
I have found the first test subject of this hat!!!! [img]http://www.all4humor.com/images/files/Giant%20Smile.jpg[/img] What, Would you be expecting a human to be dumb enough to be the first test subject? On second thought, it might be a sexy fetish for a weird Japanese White nipple head cult.
I want twelve.
[QUOTE=Rubs10;18291046]The hat is strapped to your head. Unfortunately you are forced to watch your entire family slaughtered before your eyes. Survive and you get a billion dollars.

the spike looks painful
That's...fucked up.

Would you play?[/QUOTE] But of course I would play I know I would win, and btw killing the dead well that’s just weird. I would use about half that money hunting you down and slaughtering your family though.
Looks like a nipple. Nipple hat.

[QUOTE=Rubs10;18291163]Your families dead? Why would you kill me? Who said I'm the one killing your already dead family?[/QUOTE] Because, You announced it. So I am assuming that you are at least partly responsible. Any affiliation with devil magic used in summoning my dead family to send them back to their graves must go punished.

In short it's a hat that drives a metal spike into your skull if you aren't smiling. Wallmart is gonna be on this shit like white on a republican convention.
I don't like the idea of pills, machines, or anything for that matter, to influence the way i think. it kind of takes away what makes me me
Doesn't pain cause people not to smile?
I'd wear one, but I frown too much already, so it would just callus over on the spot where the nail hits.
How does this improve your social interactions? All it can do is force people who work shitty, soul draining jobs to smile and make the customers feel better. Fuck the customers.
Only a masochist would wear that.
[QUOTE=snuwoods;18291935]Only a masochist would wear that.[/QUOTE] But he would smile as a result of the pain, and the pain only comes when he doesn't smile. You'd get all twitchy, that being so.
:frown: *STAB* :frown: STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB
I'd actually wear it for laughs.
:wtc:
People who smile too much are creepy, though. :C
