I like how your title insinuated that the great battle has begun with Robots taking a giant 24 point lead(with 30 additional assist points pending) from the start; rather than the machine puncturing a can cause its a daffy POS causing all the squishy meatsacks to uncontrollably writhe in agony.

 

I understand that people want to point the finger at amazon here, but may want to take a moment and consider blaming Stephen Colbert for constantly buying bear repellent instead.

 

@FPSwithaWacomTablet raises an interesting thought bring up WHIMS.  People do have to be trained to handle chemicals, perhaps there should be some special considerations for when machines handling them as well.

Na, humans have been killing robots for many... many years. We've got a huge point lead here.

I think my fiancee would send me to the hospital if I got a snusnu robot.

Just make the snusnu-bot the fiancée and the fiancée the snusnu-bot? 

 

Side-note: Siri can properly choose "fiancée", but not "muneca" with properly accented n? Nani? Muneca means doll or wrist in Spanish.

Use it then, can't wait for someone to reference "Amazon robot attacks workers" and that image comes up.

1 robot arm sent 24 people to the hospital. Imagine, a human robot can send how many people to the hospital.

It would shuffle along slowly until someone gave it a hard shove, spilled water on it, put spray pain over it's cameras or anything similar. A robot on wheels could do serious harm - walking currently is simply hard.

That is easy money right there. I hope the employee's are smart enough to realize that.

Oh stop with the chemical fear. No, a can of ANY chemical being explosively ejected into the air does not have the ability to cause serious injury

Bug bombs are completely worthless. Asrenic? Naa thats just media hype, you get a package in the mail with that stuff, you'll be fine!
All those countries that used mustard gas in WWI? They were just being silly it doesn't do anything.

(please tell me you were being sarcastic)

His point is that the word chemical is heavuly stigmatised, and that there are plenty of benign chemicals as well as plenty of harmful chemicals.

Not how I imagined the robot uprising would start.

A can of nitrogen? Nope, won't hurt you unless it hits you. A can of oxygen? Nope, no injury there. A can of water? Nope, won't hurt you. Can of mineral oil? Nope, won't hurt you.

  

Chemicals aren't bad. Stop fear-mongering. 

 

Signed: A chemist.  

"A chemist"

OMEGALUL. What a fuckin liar. Every single one of those "cans" could hurt you especially if you have an allergy. Whether or not it will is a probability. I can make a can of gas from household chemicals and harm dozens... thousands even in the proper area. fuck outta here with this bullshit.

If you think concentrated bleach exploding into a gaseous form in close contact with humans won't kill a bitch then you're dimmer than my broken lightbulb.
