seriously remember when these first came out circa 2014 and only wealthy people were buying them? Then Amazon saw what power they had in their hands recording all audio from within people’s homes, they brought the price down way low so even Neanderthals can have these now. Oh the spying possibilities!
Like how they have a complete surveillance network of “Ring” devices on 98/100 homes in American suburbs?
You’d think it was mandatory. It’s so creepy.
I don’t even wanna think how many cameras catch me from all angles just walking down the street.
Not a fan of how “meta” is swarming the VR market with loss-leader headsets either. Lord knows the kind of data they’re pulling from those things, and on top of it, they’re turning VR into another mobile-trash market in the process.
But that’s another conversation.
What year is this? 2018?
Well, they’ve gone down in price to the point that they’ll be in people’s stockings. And getting immature with them is always fun.
Remember: they can also make a simply fantastical array of fart sounds. “Alexa: open Big Fart” is the magic phrase.
Smart of them to make their spying devices a loss leader. Get even more rubes to buy one.

Embrace, extend, extinguish
I set up a button that makes her say “fart” when I press it
Then a few minutes later she says “fart” again
My wife claims she doesn’t think it’s nearly as funny as I do, but I caught her giggling once
