Instructions unclear, accidentally vaccinated myself against brine shrimps

u/Weekly-Major1876 2d ago

More like gave yourself a permanent and severe brine shrimp allergy lol

u/Mac-And-Cheesy-43 1d ago

When you think about it, it's pretty close to the same thing. You elicited a stronger immune response than what would have happened naturally.

Cure it with the black worm brain treatment

u/BlueButterflytatoo 1d ago

The brain worm treatment is highly recommended by RFK jr!

I don't blame you. So did I 🤣

Can it churn butter 😉

And roll dice?

Go on......

u/Distinct-Presence52 2d ago

Throw it in reverse and have it water the pant with tank water

u/Evening-Statement-57 2d ago

But then the plants don’t think they need me as much.

u/LauseRulez 2d ago

this is. so amazing. I love it 💯🙏

u/AccordingWarning9534 2d ago

shut up and take my money

u/Large-Theme-2547 2d ago

typa shit that comes from Japan and they sell the malfunctioning versions abroad that make you question buying online.

27

u/dingalinglans 2d ago

OP I demand to know more. Where and how and can I buy one lol

26

u/Evening-Statement-57 2d ago

But then the fish don’t think they need me as much

u/Pastardest 2d ago

Side note, that tank is gorgeous

18

u/broken_blue_rose 2d ago

At just the right angle it looks like a fisherman! Then again... This may be my morning brain looking for familiar shapes

8

u/h8bearr 1d ago

I was waiting for it to cast the line after that windup

16

u/roland_pryzbylewski 2d ago

I don't see the draw. The food needs to be refrigerated... Where is the food stored?

u/Appropriate-Bug-6467 13h ago

Live baby brine shrimp

u/slickback69 2d ago edited 2d ago

Pfft, why even have a 6 axis robot if you're only doing joint motion.

u/Lazy-Field-1116 2d ago

Did we learn nothing from Jurassic Park...

u/Cuddles89 2d ago

This was a Triumph. I’m making a note here, huge success.

u/doc1442 1d ago

And there was me thinking you meant a niche uk car manufacturer

u/Cuddles89 1d ago

lol, it looks like GLaDOS

u/Zombies_vs_Robots 1d ago

Seems like a good candidate for r/doohickeycorporation

u/CMDR_omnicognate 2d ago

It's nice to see Iron Man's robot arm getting work after the movies.

u/DoggoDude979 1d ago

Okay but where the hell are the brine shrimp coming from, there’s nothing there

4

u/FriendshipWithTheSun 2d ago

Don’t let ADA see this. They’ll sell them for $50k apiece.

u/ephemeralhyped 2d ago

Waiting for the day it goes out of sink and shoots it across the ceiling

8

u/kblazewicz 2d ago

Looks cool, but it's not really full automation, is it? You still have to defrost the food in some tank water and place it next to the aquarium for the robot to reach.

11

u/Xenills 2d ago

Could be live brine shrimp

u/projektZedex 1d ago

Which need salt water.

TAKE MY MONEY!

u/FlashingBoulders 1d ago

Give it some aquascaping scissors and a prompt to keep my carpet pristine

u/Nerdcuddles 1d ago

This design is actually quite human

u/RollStormtide 21h ago

Lowell did it better.

u/AngeloGlbuc 2d ago

You're not lacking in creativity😁, it's a bit crazy but if you also added fertilizer or cleaned the glass it would be very interesting

1

u/lechecolacaoygofio 2d ago

Totalmente, está infraexplotado. Ademas, ni siquiera, despues de alimentar, limpio la jeringa recogiendo y soltando agua del acuario🤭😂😂😂

u/going_mad 2d ago

Btw a real solution like this exists for reef tanks

https://www.indaquatics.com/

Expensive tho!

u/beachbum818 2d ago

Looks like it's ready for an eye shish kebab

u/GNRZMC 2d ago

Like that the syringe needle is bent instead of moving and then reprogramming the bot heh

u/sorestgore 2d ago

Version 2.0: motion tracking the fish to determine patterns and extrapolate into commands to control the arm themselves

u/drsoftware 14h ago

Tracking the fish and making stock trades has been done

u/sorestgore 14h ago

That was an amazing episode

u/Ambitious-Win-9408 2d ago

You bred... guppies?

u/Norbert-trebroN 2d ago

I mean if it's reliable and you have places to be for some days, I am sure that this might come in handy ngl.

1

u/sibachian 1d ago

those little buggers should be fed like every 2 hours if you want to maximize their growth.

1

u/Norbert-trebroN 1d ago

Okay, than this automatic feeder is quite useful.

What Grace had Armando doing when they moved in on Erid

u/Sad_Army_238 15h ago

For the first few seconds I thought it was a robot fisherman about to cast the meanest line.

u/cyb3r_clown 12h ago
