Well now I’m definitely going to have to save up $10,000 for a flame-throwing robot dog.
How else am I going to protect myself from all the flame-throwing robot dogs?

Build a tesla coil for $100.
What if their flame thrower range is longer than the range of my Tesla coil?
Also, how will I get my revenge?

With a fire-extinguisher robot dog?
I can’t kill my neighbor who sent the flamethrower robot dog to my house with a fire extinguisher robot dog! Not without plausible deniability anyway.
Make use of the only
goodusefully informative scene in Small Soldiers, and use a power transformer to create a city block radius EMPThe nice part of that is that the fire conducts along the electricity
Edit: this was like two weeks ago but it was the other way around I am dumb
You gotta fight fire with fire

Dear ladies and gentleman of the jury. I will now argue that the LLM that programmed the fire breathing dog, did so in such a manner as to make it sentient. The dog was able to and did act of it’s own accord when it killed the woman, Ms Smith. The defendant here did not create sentience in the dog, nor could he have known turning the dog on, outside, may result in the fire breathing dog torch a bystander to death.
You can see here, the dogs walking and urination patterns closely align with a real, organic dog. This definitively proves that the dog killed the woman, and now the defendant, who only released the dog into nature. Thank you very much.
That’s a legit point under common law. The owner or keeper of a wild animal is generally strictly liable for damage caused by the animal, except if the animal is local fauna, in which case liability terminates on the animal’s escape back into the wild. I don’t know of any place with native flame throwing robots.
Theoretically if Amazon drones become wide spread in the environment and I capture one, attach a flamethrower to it, and the above scenario happens after I release it back into the wild, would that defense then apply as Amazon drones are native to the environment?
That would probably fall under intentional torts rather than strict animal liability. If you do, put up some vague “is this your drone?” flyers with a blurry photo, wait a bit, take the drone to the vet and pay the bill in your name, and build the evidence of your keepership, because you’ll have to admit being a keeper for the defense to work. Also, owners or keepers are liable, and this is one of those rare times in law when or also means and, and Amazon will probably help you defend the case in chief, though they will probably come after you next. This does not constitute legal advice.
What if enough flame throwing robot dogs escape into the local environment for them to become an endemic invasive species? Then could we be able to terminate any liability associated with the barbequing of the general public?
Obviously then yes it would be fine.
Perfect, the plan is coming together well.
Lying on my bed, my new dog will keep me warm on cool winter nights.
Now that’s one hell of a ‘hot dog’.
This is a great day! I think we can ALL agree that it’s been deeply frustrating to be priced out of the flame throwing robot dog market for so long.
You were paying the market rate for your flamethrowing robot dog? Dude, buy refurbished.
Israeli Military have entered the chat.
Imagine telling your insurance about your newest purchase.
They’ll probably ask for a referral, it’s legal in 48 states.
Ok so… I’m guessing CA and NY are the two that have outlawed flamethrowers for non roofers and non combatants?
I know damn well the roofers in CA have flame throwers, they’re small-ish, and can only shoot a 7’-8’ flame, but they definitely have them.
Great. Which country has your bet for the first country to sic these on their enemies?
At last, a way to commit genocide without dirtying your hands. Combine that with their AI modelling of attack vict… targets, and they’ll just have a 24/7 roaming robot kill squad.
Well, that answers that question.
Even less money for a real dog and flame-thrower…
Yeah, but controls are… unreliable.
Training tends to fall out the window when Lacy sees the flames spewing from her backpack.
So how much for a shark with a frickin’ laser beam attached to its head?
Totally replacing my snowblower with one of these
I think I made one of those in the new Zelda game

Well, you’re in luck! They’re already testing those out in Los Angeles: https://www.serverobotics.com/uber-eats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9MJorTjpxU
*…30-foot flame-throwing range, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth"
Is that wifi6? 🤔
If so it won’t be a buy for me, wifi7 is a must.
for $10,000 I want at least wifi8
I’ll take that and raise you a wifi9.

Thankfully your new purchase is fully able to “deal with” the bank
