Well now I’m definitely going to have to save up $10,000 for a flame-throwing robot dog.
How else am I going to protect myself from all the flame-throwing robot dogs?
The only defense against a bad guy with a flame throwing robot dog, is a good guy with a flame throwing robot dog
What about a neutral girl with a flame throwing robot dog?
Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.
I’ll take all the nuance if it means more flamethrower robot dog gladiator battles.
I’ll take those odds!
How else am I going to protect myself from all the flame-throwing robot dogs?
Build a tesla coil for $100.
What if their flame thrower range is longer than the range of my Tesla coil?
Also, how will I get my revenge?
Also, how will I get my revenge?
With a fire-extinguisher robot dog?
I can’t kill my neighbor who sent the flamethrower robot dog to my house with a fire extinguisher robot dog! Not without plausible deniability anyway.
Not quite doable: https://youtu.be/Ry5YEknaxBk
A 5 minute thing blown up to a 50 minutes action sequence with cars drawing circles in the desert and a helicopter filming infrared and tüdelü, all in 10x repeat, is a sad new high for me.
But of course someone tested that already.
Well…That’s TV shows for you.
But even better: Between each repeat would be an ad break. :)
At least we don’t have that (premium and/or ad blocker) on youtube…Didn’t notice the ads. Newpipe with sponsorblock i guess?
Make use of the only
goodusefully informative scene in Small Soldiers, and use a power transformer to create a city block radius EMPThe nice part of that is that the fire conducts along the electricity
Edit: this was like two weeks ago but it was the other way around I am dumb
You gotta fight fire with fire
Neat.

Dear ladies and gentleman of the jury. I will now argue that the LLM that programmed the fire breathing dog, did so in such a manner as to make it sentient. The dog was able to and did act of it’s own accord when it killed the woman, Ms Smith. The defendant here did not create sentience in the dog, nor could he have known turning the dog on, outside, may result in the fire breathing dog torch a bystander to death.
You can see here, the dogs walking and urination patterns closely align with a real, organic dog. This definitively proves that the dog killed the woman, and now the defendant, who only released the dog into nature. Thank you very much.
That’s a legit point under common law. The owner or keeper of a wild animal is generally strictly liable for damage caused by the animal, except if the animal is local fauna, in which case liability terminates on the animal’s escape back into the wild. I don’t know of any place with native flame throwing robots.
Theoretically if Amazon drones become wide spread in the environment and I capture one, attach a flamethrower to it, and the above scenario happens after I release it back into the wild, would that defense then apply as Amazon drones are native to the environment?
That would probably fall under intentional torts rather than strict animal liability. If you do, put up some vague “is this your drone?” flyers with a blurry photo, wait a bit, take the drone to the vet and pay the bill in your name, and build the evidence of your keepership, because you’ll have to admit being a keeper for the defense to work. Also, owners or keepers are liable, and this is one of those rare times in law when or also means and, and Amazon will probably help you defend the case in chief, though they will probably come after you next. This does not constitute legal advice.
What if enough flame throwing robot dogs escape into the local environment for them to become an endemic invasive species? Then could we be able to terminate any liability associated with the barbequing of the general public?
Obviously then yes it would be fine.
Perfect, the plan is coming together well.
Now that’s one hell of a ‘hot dog’.
I hate this but it’s hilarious. It’s a microcosm of everything that’s making me depressed right now, and somehow that’s precisely why it’s amazing.
Lying on my bed, my new dog will keep me warm on cool winter nights.
And you could roast marshmallows in bed!
This is a great day! I think we can ALL agree that it’s been deeply frustrating to be priced out of the flame throwing robot dog market for so long.
You were paying the market rate for your flamethrowing robot dog? Dude, buy refurbished.
Imagine telling your insurance about your newest purchase.
They’ll probably ask for a referral, it’s legal in 48 states.
Ok so… I’m guessing CA and NY are the two that have outlawed flamethrowers for non roofers and non combatants?
I know damn well the roofers in CA have flame throwers, they’re small-ish, and can only shoot a 7’-8’ flame, but they definitely have them.
Only 8’! What monsters are they fighting on those rooftops?
8" sounds more like a large torch than a flamethrower to me, IDK how they classify things tho.
Great. Which country has your bet for the first country to sic these on their enemies?
Well, that answers that question.
Fire-extinguisher robot dogs in 3, 2, …
Yeah, no. Saving people sounds like a waste of money. How can we monetize saving them? Their deaths are way more lucrative.
That was the excuse dog to make this dog possible. Please pay attention when safety robots are announced.
Totally replacing my snowblower with one of these
So how much for a shark with a frickin’ laser beam attached to its head?
I’d settle for some ill-tempered sea bass.
I just want one that delivers a beer and a hunk of summer sausage.
But a flamethrower? I guess…sure?
burns down house during summer sausage delivery
Well, you’re in luck! They’re already testing those out in Los Angeles: https://www.serverobotics.com/uber-eats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9MJorTjpxU
I think I made one of those in the new Zelda game
*…30-foot flame-throwing range, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth"
Is that wifi6? 🤔
If so it won’t be a buy for me, wifi7 is a must.
for $10,000 I want at least wifi8
