Oh thank goodness it's made it through the night out there. I hear nature abhors a vacuum

    Somewhere out there there is probably someone who made a water resistant charging station with solar power and a roomba that goes and vacuums their tennis court or whatever. Hell they have the solar outdoor chargers for the automated lawnmowers so I'm sure they could modify one of those.

    I thought roomba was a type of dance

    Nah, that's the rumba. This poor little guy is a rhombus.

    No, that's a type of person. This is a ruble.

    That’s a scooba. Rare obscure product no one bought. It had a water tank and scrubbed your floor while vacuuming up the dirty water.

    I don't like the urge to anthropomorphize these small, mobile robots.

    "Poor little guy."

    These things are increasingly being used to spy on us, not just vacuum cleaners, but the delivery robots, too. They aren't cute, they're intrusive and threatening. I have no sympathy or fuzzy feelings for them. Better to see them for what they are.

    To be honest, nature hasn't had a proper clean-up since like forever. It's about time we sent a couple of roomba's around.

    You gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests... Many, many years of leaves and broken trees, and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up.

    Nature has a way of dealing with that from time to time. Several ways, in fact.

    In fact there are many tiny little automated roomba's roaming around, cleaning up nature as we speak.

    And not only are they fully autonomous, they also get their energy by burning the stuff they vacuum up. So you don't even have to charge them!

    You'd think that you can only get these crazy little machines by buying into the monopoly of some insane fascist trillionaire, but no! They multiply themselves! You don't have to do anything for it!

    We are so lucky.

    My robot vac likes to imagine that there are ghost dimensions behind my couch instead of walls. Maybe it was right and teleported?

    If you're cold, he's cold. Please, take your Roomba inside tonight.

    One of the touch-and-go? About half a hour battery, bumping into things for navigation, can't be far.

    my 7 series maps completely via front facing camera, no lidar. It was a bumper so it knows when it's actually touching the thing, but it already knows, it's just donfirmation.
