Got 8 Google Minis around the house, mostly ceiling mount. First ad that comes out that bitches mouth, I'm taking a 12-gauge to every motherfucking one of them, patch the roof later.
You sir, and I say this with no hyperbole; are a hero.
🎵I got a shotgun, and here's the plot,
Takin' Minis out with a flurry of buck shot,
Boom, boom, boom! Yeah, I was gunnin',
And then you look, all you see is Googles runnin',
And fallin' and yellin' and pushin' and screamin',
And cussin', I stepped back and I kept bustin'🎶
Dude stop. There only so awesome I can think you are. Fucking legend.
Im sure they'll try to get you to order ammo as they explode.

"Further work from our user experience team has resulted in several recommendations, including revising the Google Mini for the North American market to add a Kevlar layer to the case and using data from the accelerometer to treat an abrupt, rapid acceleration with a threshold above a certain level as "undesirable behavior/behavior needs improvement" user feedback to Alexa+'s prior prompt response."
