Well now I'm definitely going to have to save up $10,000 for a flame-throwing robot dog.

How else am I going to protect myself from all the flame-throwing robot dogs?

The only defense against a bad guy with a flame throwing robot dog, is a good guy with a flame throwing robot dog

What about a neutral girl with a flame throwing robot dog?

[–] TheOgreChef@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.

I'll take all the nuance if it means more flamethrower robot dog gladiator battles.

[–] Juice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

I'll take those odds!

Build a tesla coil for $100.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (4 children)

What if their flame thrower range is longer than the range of my Tesla coil?

Also, how will I get my revenge?

With a fire-extinguisher robot dog?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I can't kill my neighbor who sent the flamethrower robot dog to my house with a fire extinguisher robot dog! Not without plausible deniability anyway.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

A 5 minute thing blown up to a 50 minutes action sequence with cars drawing circles in the desert and a helicopter filming infrared and tüdelü, all in 10x repeat, is a sad new high for me.

But of course someone tested that already.

Well...That's TV shows for you.
But even better: Between each repeat would be an ad break. :)
At least we don't have that (premium and/or ad blocker) on youtube...

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

Didn't notice the ads. Newpipe with sponsorblock i guess?

Put your Tesla coil on a long boom. Worked for pikemen.

The nice part of that is that the fire conducts along the electricity

Edit: this was like two weeks ago but it was the other way around I am dumb

Make use of the only ~~good~~ usefully informative scene in Small Soldiers, and use a power transformer to create a city block radius EMP

You gotta fight fire with fire
