Never before in human history has a Tweet been created and posted by a pair of gloves, but such a magical spectacle happened at a hackathon hosted by Mount Holyoke College last November, when four men unveiled their prototype for hastag-sharing gloves.

Never before in human history has a Tweet been created and posted by a pair of gloves, but such a magical spectacle happened at a hackathon hosted by Mount Holyoke College last November, when four men unveiled their prototype for hastag-sharing gloves. Now you never have to take off your gloves, which means those fingerprints will never be traced back to you!

The gloves, called #gloves, prompt a voice dictated-Tweet when the hashtag hand symbol is made with the wearer’s hands.

So basically, you say something like "The most embarrassing part about farting myself awake was that it was the most interesting aspect of my PowerPoint presentation," then make the following motion with your hands:

… and then bam, another one of your priceless 140-character sayings gets blasted into the internet, and you feel like maybe you matter in this crazy, crazy world.

“There’s conductive fabric on the tips of the fingers, and we put a voltage across them,” #gloves inventor Byron Wasti tells the Daily Dot. “And then you just short it, and it detects when you short the signal. It’s really basic."

Oh, but think of the hilarious potential for misuse. What if you're walking along and you see a mountain lion, and you put your hand out to stop it from attacking you, thereby activating your glove's Twitter sensor? Looks like 250 of your closest followers will be treated to the endearing Tweet, "AAAAUUUUGGGGGGHHHMMMMFF" as the lion eats your liver. Just thinking ahead.

The idea for #gloves was partially inspired by the Jimmy Fallon sketch with Justin Timberlake, but the creators had far more personal reasons for their creations as well.

“We were looking at Google’s API, and Twitter’s API… I don’t know how the glove idea particularly came, it was probably cold out,” says co-inventor Keenen Zucker. “I’m from California, so I’m not used to the cold, and… I thought it was funny to just combine those two ideas… the original idea was for snowboarding. If somebody can’t take their hands out of their pockets, they could use the gloves to say ‘that was a great run’ or something.”

… Or something.

So are #gloves only useful in cold environments?

Hardly. Think of their immense potential for germophobes or OJ Simpson.

The one downside of the gloves is that you need a Bluetooth and wireless connection for them to work. Without it, you're just a person shouting "Ladies call me Subway because I've got low quality meat and lie about being six  inches" at your own hands.

For the low, low price of just $50, that could be you up there, Tweeting using your clothing like the Jetson-age technophile you are. That's not the worst price ever for an article of clothing that can update people about your last bowel movement or that you dad didn't molest you like you said he did (Hi, Amanda Bynes!).

Now if they could just find out how make a Tweeting condom that tweets "I'm the father!" every time the condom breaks, we'd really be getting somewhere.
