- fphhotchips 9y agoEvery night a bot will count the votes and if the majority vote 'Yes' the kids will be strapped into a diaper changing robot.
- freeflight 9y agoHow about pleaseplaywithmycats.com? Audience controls robots to play with cats. As ridiculous as it sounds it would probably be immensely popular, tho animal rights groups would go nuts.
- kdamken 9y agoThere already a bunch of sites out there like that.
- kbart 9y ago"tho animal rights groups would go nuts." Why would they? Cats have to move to stay healthy, but home cats are notoriously lazy. I feel slightly guilty that I play with my cat too little. Robo-laser is on my project list, though I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving camera inside my home that has unrestricted Internet access.
- Kiro 9y agoWhy would they go nuts? Haven't seen a single backlash against the many sites out there already doing this.
- freeflight 9y agoSome animal rights groups can be quite touchy, I don't think there'd be a lot of forgiving PR if a stranger uses a remote-controlled bot to injure/kill a cat over the Internet. I never thought this would already be an actual thing, could you give me some links?
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoThere's remote feeders (with apps, cameras, etc), pretty sure they also exist for play. Both cats and doges.

Look out for creeps perving on you from the bushes! 2000: This new webcam is neat but don't let your kids use it, someone could hack it and perv on them! 2015: Hello random internet stranger, please observe and interact with my kids while I do other things! c.f. 1990: Stranger danger! Don't get into strange cars! 2000: Internet stranger danger! Don't give anyone on the internet your real name or contact details! 2015: Here's a handy app which gives your contact details to an internet stranger so they can pick you up in their car!
