Your Terrible Future: Meat Eating Furniture

A very strange sighting over at ReNest and fully explained by NPR, it’s what they’re dubbing Meat Eating Furniture. And yes, it’s every bit as creepy as it sounds. Seen above, the Fly Paper Clock converts trapped flies into an LCD time display. This sounds ideal for your average feed store or jerky outpost (??).
Seen below, the terrifying Mousetrap Coffee Table absorbs trapped mice into a microbial fuel cell, and I didn’t get this far, but you then presumably charge your cell phone or something pointless. As strange as these are, I might be more concerned living somewhere that could actually utilize either of these functions.
