  Who services the poop drones I ask you…

  Some unlucky roboticist is stuck cleaning poop off treads, testing sensors and resoldering connections while wearing gloves.

    The same people who cleans the mess from those adult videos and the confetti from AGT/BGT.

  They need to make mining drones mandatory, too. Humans have no business being in holes. They are not their holes, they do not belong in them.
  I’m looking at you, spelunkers.

    Thus, sex became forbidden, and humanity declined, with last generation asking their ancestors why would they impose such harsh ban upon them shortly before extinction.

  Why are you flying the drones though? Just give them wheels and call them robots.

  Costs less, is easier to operate, uses less energy, can be used in smaller spaces…

    Or you could read the article. Wheels ain’t gonna work down there bro.

    • Saleh@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There is no mention why wheels wouldnt work.

      They only mention that flying is difficult because of confined space and changing airflows.

  Sewer drone found footage could make a great horror movie.

    Please don’t give Hollywood any ideas… like the Blair witch project.

  This is honestly such an uplifting news that gives me hope for the future.

  Prefer this over stories like a 10 year old that raised money to make up for lack of health care or some dystopian thing like that.

    Ten year olds operate the drones 👀

  Lmao, they outsourced pooping to drones.

  And I was doing it for free too.

      I remember he was shilling for trump after he won his first term, he was trying to play it off “it’s not that bad” that he got voted.

    • aesthelete@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s basically like saying “illegal immigrants” aren’t made up for Trump. Like, obviously people coming into the country illegally exist, but the dude was just making shit up when it came to the actual numbers.

  Two words I never thought I’d see together… poop drone.

  • MeatPilot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well I’m glad it’s this and not a drone made of poop.

    • billwashere@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Why do I believe if Mythbusters was still on the air they’d actually try this.

  Now, the drone-captured data is sent off to contractors at SewerAI, who run it through their AI-assisted algorithms to identify defects automatically.

  Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).
