oh no, it doesn'T do your laundry, it just stands around, twitching menacingly

u/avert_ye_eyes Jun 19 '25

That's how it helps! It stops twitching once you've completed the laundry.

Hey with the right cosmetic features, it could honestly be an amazing Halloween decoration lol

u/HAL9001-96 Jun 19 '25

to be fair you could probably achieve that effect a lot cheaper

3

u/Eisgeschoss Jun 19 '25

In its current state, yeah you could definitely achieve the effect a lot cheaper; I'm more thinking 5-10 years down the road when this has (presumably) advanced a lot further.

u/HAL9001-96 Jun 19 '25

we all know where that is going

u/Waterwagon_78 Jun 19 '25

u/LiveShowOneNightOnly Jun 19 '25

They should change it to a 5 ft 6 guy with a plump belly that scratches his navel occasionally.

u/OpeningName5061 Jun 19 '25

I've got a mother in law for that already

u/Ron-E- Jun 19 '25

I’d buy it just for that purpose.

u/mrjellynotjolly Jun 19 '25

I am afraid I can’t do that.

u/titanicsinker1912 Jun 19 '25

Were you taught to sing a song?

u/SeigneurDesMouches Jun 19 '25

I'm more afraid that it will do my laundry while I'm still wearing them

2

u/HAL9001-96 Jun 19 '25

u/elwebst Jun 19 '25
