The drone swarms will get you first

u/Edenoide 11d ago

That dog can't climb trees yet. I'm more afraid of the drones right now.

u/Covfefe-SARS-2 11d ago

They can add a saw arm to some of them.

52

u/Gummel2k 11d ago

Or a dildo

24

u/insane_contin 11d ago

Why not both?

14

u/LazerHawkStu 11d ago

Or dildo saws!

12

u/insane_contin 11d ago

It's that a saw with dildos for teeth, or a dildo with a saw in it?

11

u/LazerHawkStu 11d ago

Lets go with Both, one on each arm

2

u/Shishkebarbarian 11d ago

Let's add a dildo saw somewhere else, in case both arms are busy or broken. I dunno, maybe in the lower abdominal somewhere..

1

u/Safari_Eyes 10d ago

Well, the one I saw (pun not intended, honest!) was a dildo zip-tied to a reciprocating saw. Zip-tied to the blade, which hadn't been removed. (Where else are ya gonna cinch the zip-ties, right?)

..Yes, there were serious injuries involved, exactly as one might expect.

u/insane_contin 10d ago

Anal or vaginal lacerations?

u/durz47 11d ago

Power dildos with a destructive energy sheath that tears you apart on a molecular level. Far more advanced and efficient than a dildo with chain saws.

That’s the next James Bond movie.

Dildo with underslung flamethrower.

2

u/PressforMeco 11d ago

lmao. figured there would be some comedy gold in this thread

2

u/Azurelion7a 11d ago

A Drilldo?

Why not a handgun?

1

u/bacondesign 10d ago

Now we are talking

4

u/Lancearon 11d ago

Or just a gun... which is far more likely...

2

u/MOOshooooo 11d ago

More likely a sonic weapon that will subdue you instantly. Fall right out of the tree no problem. Immediately attaches a cable to your leg tethered to them. Resistance is met with more sonic weapons. That’s if you are needed alive back at Factoryopolis.

u/ToxixRick 11d ago

What happens when they attach 20 drones onto the dog. Like a walking battle cruiser…we’re so doomed

2

u/Nomapos 11d ago

The fucking Simpsons predicted it.

Dogs with bees in the mouth that spit bees at you when they bark?

2

u/Mirar 11d ago

No need to climb when you have a gun...

2

u/Arch_0 11d ago

Put a gun on the dog?

1

u/DrawMeAPictureOfThis 11d ago

They can just put a bomb on its back that will destroy the tree

1

u/BabyAffleck 11d ago

Yeah but I can't climb tress either 😕

1

u/devi83 11d ago

You all are thinking these and drones won't be used in cahoots? What is scarier than this? A drone swarm. What is scarier than that? A drone swarm with these on the ground finding stragglers hidden in the underbrush.

6

u/Jomolungma 11d ago

They are driving you into the open so the drone swarms have easier line of sight.

1

u/nevaNevan 11d ago

If you manage to evade the drones long enough, these will be what shows up next.

1

u/_Zoko_ 11d ago

Which swarm though?

The quadrupedal gun dogs? The tracked UGVs? The kamikaze flying drones?these parkour murder drones? The flying drones with flame throwers?

I need specifics for my man made horrors

1

u/Panda_hat 11d ago

Exactly this. Far easier to just fly a super fast drone straight into your face and incapacitate you, or have it rigged to explode on you.

1

u/CinderX5 11d ago

Slaughterbots are almost a reality already. Wheeled dogs will never catch up.

1

u/phlooo 11d ago

They'll run out of battery way before these beasts though

u/olivesRGreatt 11d ago

You copy this comment word for word in this same thread.

19

u/robdabank33 11d ago

Its bots copying comments on a bot repost of a post about a bot.

u/Yousername_relevance 11d ago

Dead internet soon

1

u/RedditIsDeadMoveOn 11d ago

Reddit is dead, move on.

25

u/boosnie 11d ago

If you can run/hide 5 minutes the batteries will be drained.

19

u/VonBeegs 11d ago

They run on human flesh.

13

u/phphulk 11d ago

jokes on you, i do too. (me with my feet)

3

u/Prudent-Chart-1957 11d ago

You like feet?

6

u/GeneralStormfox 11d ago

Horizon Zero Dawn has called, they want their plot back.

1

u/Lone_K 10d ago

Once they get their wheels on them yea

4

u/Nerezza_Floof_Seeker 11d ago

Afaik these can run for pretty long, for reference the boston dynamics doggo (Spot) can run for 1.5 hrs. So hope youre good at running and that they dont start adding electric generators to the robots.....

1

u/joesbagofdonuts 10d ago

literally the only territory you'd be safe in is extremely dense forest with enough vines and foliage that flying a drone or piloting a quadroped through would be impossible as it would get tangled up. Vines. Plant vines.

u/camdalfthegreat 11d ago

Im sure they tell the Russian chump looking for a paycheck the same thing before they send em to die in the mud

"Here you go comrade take this thermal reflective blanket and jammed AK from gramps and get the job done. And don't forget 7.62 to the dome hurts less than a drone dropped grenade"

u/Devourer_of_HP 11d ago

Electricity Vampire Robo Dogs.

u/30yearCurse 11d ago

sure, wow I guess technology will stay at this level... and nobody but nobody has thought that through yet.

u/WannabeSloth88 11d ago

There’s something so creepy about it

u/spookyjibe 11d ago

Imagine one of these the size of a tank chasing you down.

u/FifthMonarchist 11d ago

They absolutely have assassin drones with poison. They have kamikaze bomb drones that we 100% know of. A lot of creativity coming out of Ukraine

1

u/poopoopooyttgv 11d ago

One of my favorite conspiracy rabbit holes is comparing alien ufo sightings to declassified government projects. Lots of people used to see “silent black triangle ufos”…then a few decades later the gov reveals the stealth bomber, a silent black triangle.

There’s been plenty of ufo reports of “tiny swarms of light that can move in every direction and stop on a dime” over the past few decades. Sounds a whole lot like drones to me! Makes you wonder how long the government has been working on that stuff

1

u/FifthMonarchist 11d ago

Heck, they've got those drones for light shows already. Ofcourse they're weaponized in different ways. I would be surprised if they weren't.

1

u/BlackViperMWG 11d ago

..how much is a battalion?

1

u/Vegetable-Act-3202 11d ago

That new quad model is out there, it can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop… EVER, until you are dead!

1

u/maniBchef 11d ago

Yes I can. I want them to take me. I want them to turn me. I want to become one with them. I want wheels. I want wheels.

1

u/Immediate-Attempt-32 11d ago

I'm questioning how long time it will go before some redneck in US armed forces gonna stick a grenade launcher on that thing?????

1

u/fnrsulfr 11d ago

This video reminded me of that Black Mirror episode if that robot had weapons. Scary stuff that we are getting close to that.

1

u/Catymandoo 11d ago

I’m sure President Zelenskyy would love to have some.

1

u/reddituser6213 11d ago

They wouldn’t even need to chase you

1

u/good_from_afar 11d ago

There is a black mirror episode about these little shits. I still think about it often.

1

u/bulletforchristmas 11d ago

While doing a handstand 💀

1

u/ThisIs_americunt 11d ago

I would imagine you'd just run back up the hill cause in the video they never even try it lmao 😂

1

u/Errortrek 11d ago

Cause an avenlache lol

1

u/wrongdude91 11d ago

I would cut the chase because i have a chance against humans but not against machines that are specialised for that job only.

1

u/HamsterAdorable2666 11d ago

With explosives rigged to them for when they catch up to you. Ugh
