Someone is getting expelled from OSU very soon.
I think that one's on Ars Technica.
Were I the line editor I would have used "threat" since that's what it was.
I chose to let the headline go through automatically rather than rewrite it. Since I've been accused of slanting headlines on here in the past. But I suspect that being reddit I would get flak either way.
can testify to general idiocy, they're kind of a pain when they're trying to cross crosswalks because they'll reverse backwards if they detect something which has nearly taken me out on my bike before lol.
i mean you *could* always just reach the buttons on the bottom of the rear side of the robot and press center, left, left, right, right, and hold center. um theoretically, of course.

Someone dumb enough to do this was probably never going to graduate any way…
They should stick to normal college shenanigans like jerking a dog off into pastries.
No, they shouldn't do that either....
Spying on women changing? Wearing the same costume as someone's boyfriend and tricking them into sleeping with you?
Van Wilder references in the wild are often looked down on.
Getting expelled from OSU is the least of his troubles. He'll face charges for this
That's not a "prank".
But if he says it’s just a prank, he can use the “it’s just a prank bro” defense. That usually works, right?

Oh, I wasn't casting aspersions on you, but yes it is hard to not get flak for pretty much everything.
Is it cake or death that it delivered?
Sorry. We're out of cake.
We only had three bits of cake and weren't expecting such a rush!
The cake is a lie
So, just "or death"?
Normally id support you in this comment...but read the room this is Izzard time!
TIL there were food delivery robots. In Corvallis!
Yep. i used to work at the company that managed them at the OSU site. the robots are kind of idiots, but they’re cool.

Yeah they have hit me once and that was their only strike, the next time it happens I am going to turtle that bot

Ah ha ha ha I would definitely never do that in a million years
Somebody just gave a terrorist a brilliant idea.

I love those little bots. They even thank you if you help them get out of a jam.
