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.

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

Because real dogs refuse the job.

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.”

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

you have 20 seconds to comply

They're guard dogs

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 hours ago

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

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

Why are you holding my birth certificate???

Should I drop it?

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.

Shitty ass movie life

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

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

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

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 🤡

They were both fake. Magic healing ear.
