Bezzy is a handmade data center doll. Basura
Plushies are getting weirder every day.
Bezzy is a gray handmade plushie with round eyes, a disarming smile, and a server-rack abdomen that plays the grating, mind-numbing hum of a data center when you squeeze it.
The sound is actually a recording made outside a real-life data center in Virginia.
"We actually got quite a few different recordings. It's a weird process to have to go through," Rajeev Basu, the artist behind the toy, told Business Insider. "I had to sit there listening to various screeching sounds on my computer, and we picked the one that would be most well-suited for the toy."
"It's terrifying. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone," he added.
