  • I can’t tell if this is AI gen, but it looks like something that would be AI gen

    The robot seems to move very jerkily, (although that could be because it’s sped up)

    But this seems like too much magic. There’s no obvious sensors or wheels or motors to make the thing move autonomously


    Edit: also that squeezing motion shouldn’t work to pick up the car. The tire is made of rubber and therefore quite grippy, so the arms would have to rotate themselves (because they can’t slide underneath the rubber)

    As well, there doesn’t appear to be any mechanism on top of the thing to hold the weight of the car. There’s no way those flimsy arms, in a 3rd class lever configuration, are capable of lifting a 1 ton vehicle












  • Find a bitter agent spray at the pet store, like bitter apple, and spray it on the leaves of the plant

    They’ll eventually learn that the plants taste bad, and leave them alone (saved my Aloe from a very mouthy feline, as well as various fabrics from the golden retriever puppy)

    Alternatively, put lemon or citrus scented spray on the plants, but i found that less effective compared to the bitter spray


    You can also get them cat grass or silvervine sticks to chew on

    • Hot stove tops after cooking
    • potentially poisonous things like onions
    • knives
    • “i need to set this down for a second and i don’t want the cats messing with it”
    • dirty dishes

    Not to say i just leave knives or food out, but I want to reduce the chances of them getting into something by making the counters unappealing to them (via the usual tricks of aluminum foil, sticky tape, precariously perched baking trays, or as a last resort, cat zappers (electrified mats))
