will it also say "move along citizen there is nothing to pet here" in a male robot voice?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 47 minutes ago

Probably because Trump hates real dogs.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 19 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This is one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes. God help us.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 25 minutes ago (1 children)

Metalhead? I really didn't get the twist of it.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 7 minutes ago* (last edited 7 minutes ago) (1 children)

Does it need a twist? They accurately warned us about exactly what US fascists are building to protect their private bunkers.

But it was

Tap for spoilerTeddy bears or something if I remember

Is the twist that they represent hope which is something they guard?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 43 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, those are just to stop the kids escaping from the paedodungeon.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 hours ago

So they have a coffee brewer on their back but you cannot pet? Please make sense.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 118 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Because they're eating the dogs, the people that stay there, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live around there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 4 hours ago

And What’s stopping them from eating the robots? I mean someone ate an entire plane

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

They fucking won.

Ron Williams, a former Secret Service agent who is now CEO of the security and risk management firm Talon Companies

Ah life really does imitate art

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 26 points 7 hours ago

Wouldn't be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 60 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

“You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

FYI

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 32 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Definitely don't Google "2K spray paint" because it's impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

Small Soldiers also taught us how to turn an electric pole transformer into an improvised EMP device. That turns the dogs off.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 92 points 10 hours ago

you have 20 seconds to comply

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 28 points 8 hours ago

Because real dogs refuse the job.

[–] 7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago

I feel an urge to go play Horizon Zero Dawn now.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 57 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 10 hours ago

If they appeared with guns, wouldn't the robodogs also be strapped?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Shitty time travelers and their stormtrooper aim.

Somebody definitely fucked up the timeline and they send these untrained time-travellers to try and fix it (and failed miserably).

Now we get Black Mirror robot dogs.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 7 hours ago

One would think it would be easy to get T.E.L.L.s nowadays and just send one after another

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 51 points 11 hours ago

Shitty ass movie life

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There's always a place for a happy little accident.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you holding my birth certificate???

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Should I drop it?

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

They're guard dogs

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Considering that there was an assassination attempt there not that long ago, it's not surprising they increased security.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 31 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

An assassination attempt was thwarted. The attempt itself never took place.

Planning to shoot the president is different than actually shooting at him.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 51 minutes ago

Also putting on my conspiracy hat here for a moment. I think the assassination attempts were setups. Including the one who supposedly got his ear.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 16 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That one seemed so fake lol

Feels like secret service needed a redemption after whatever happened the first time. So that's what they got 🤡

[–] db2@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They were both fake. Magic healing ear.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I ain't shy of any tinfoil but this one didn't land.

What are you basing your position that the first one was also fake?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago (1 children)

Exactly I don't care if it was just glass what not. There would be a scab something. Your ear would not magical show zero damage after two weeks.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 36 minutes ago) (1 children)

An impact from a blunt object like a bullet would absolutely show damage, and clipping an ear would have to take a piece off.

If it was clipped by a sharp piece of broken glass or plastic it might, because cuts from sharp objects can bleed a lot but be pressed together and heal pretty well. My wife cut her finger on broken glass last week and it bled like crazy at first, but with a little pressure and a bandage for a couple of days you could barely tell it ever happened.

Trump was nicked by some shrapnel and played it up as being hit by the bullet for his base.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 29 minutes ago (1 children)

I got cuts to and two weeks no matter how small you could still see the cut. Only other explanation is he put makeup on the hide said cut. By why do that?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 26 minutes ago (1 children)

No visual shots of Trump are going to be as close as you looking at your own body.

Why would someone who plasters orange concealer all over his face in an attempt to not look like the pale ghoul that he is cover an imperfection with makeup?

I have no idea why a vain person would do that. It just isn't like vain people to cover up small imperfections!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago (1 children)

My point being even fake having a scar on his ear would cater to his base. I mean motherfucker wore a tampon on his ear for 2 weeks.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 22 minutes ago

Yeah, but it didn't get him the attention he wanted so he stopped trying.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 hours ago

Haven't heard this one. The media cycle around was rather weird.

So deff gave me cover up vibes injust assumed it was because feds botched the job.
