Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

Does such a product exist? I would hope not, but probably. There are certainly stupider things on the market.
But even with an emergency key, think about security alarms. You open the door, you have to put in the code to turn off the alarm -- but you can't, the code has been changed. You call the alarm company to say "No, it's me" but your account has been frozen, so they still send the police.
Yeah, it's a little over-the-line dystopian, but instead of being 100% bonkers out of a movie, it's more "...yeah, I can see how that could happen if you have the Ring doorbell and Ring door lock and Ring alarm monitoring, and the company froze your account for some reason"
Yeah, I guess I can see that, but to be honest if someone gets themselves into that kind of situation, I feel like it's on them.
Blame the victim, eh? Well, at least you're not jumping straight to "No, that's impossible, you're just paranoid"
