I need it for personal protection.
It’s my “emotional support dog”.
Now that’s one hell of a ‘hot dog’.
Anyone able to loan me under $10,000? It’s for something really cool.
Cool? Not hot?
Give me $5K and a case of beer and I’ll make you a dog suit that breathes fire.
You always get a better bang for your buck investing in furries.
$7.5K if you want safety standards, though.
“The Mechanical Hound slept but did not sleep, lived but did not live in its gently humming, gently vibrating, softly illuminated kennel back in a dark corner of the firehouse”
Here we go…
Fahrenheit 451?
Or Celsius 232.778 as it is known outside the US.
I didn’t think the name flows off the tongue as well though.
It would if you kept the number of significant digits the same.
Perhaps even better.
Yes.
Why do people keep reading dystopias as instruction books?
Your guess is as good as mine. Let’s just hope that they didn’t also see any copies of The Limits to Growth as well. It was a scientific report published in 1972 by a think-tank. Using computer models developed at MIT, the authors warned that continuing on business-as-usual population and consumption growth trajectories would likely lead to societal collapse within the next 100 years.
I don’t know about you but I’m excited!
Neat.
Even less money for a real dog and flame-thrower…
Yeah, but controls are… unreliable.
Training tends to fall out the window when Lacy sees the flames spewing from her backpack.
Israeli Military have entered the chat.
So how much for a shark with a frickin’ laser beam attached to its head?
I’d settle for some ill-tempered sea bass.
Great. Which country has your bet for the first country to sic these on their enemies?
Well, that answers that question.
At last, a way to commit genocide without dirtying your hands. Combine that with their AI modelling of attack vict… targets, and they’ll just have a 24/7 roaming robot kill squad.
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.
This is an absolute W for flamethrowing robot dog enthusiasts everywhere.
I’m waiting for more competition to enter the market and for prices to be driven down further.
Owning is boring. You want to rent one through my new app. FRaaS. Flamethrower robot as a service. I am starting the first round of venturing funding at 1 billion. It also has block chain in it.
It also has block chain in it.
The key is to use 100x more electricity than is actually needed.
You’re joking, but some tech bro is gonna try to do exactly that
You were paying the market rate for your flamethrowing robot dog? Dude, buy refurbished.
Dudes rock
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

What about one that pisses beer?

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
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?

Put your Tesla coil on a long boom. Worked for pikemen.
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
