I ordered a litter robot thing, and I didn't realize how enormous that is. It arrived in a 3 foot tall box.

I am now terrified that when wife comes downstairs, she will see this box and freak out.

This thing is ginormous

I am now reviewing the photos of the product online in panic and realizing I missed this one, which would have hinted to the problem I was getting myself into.

I mean, literally getting myself into. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep inside that thing tonight

I lived in apartments smaller than this thing

LOL CATS MUST WEIGHT AT LEAST 5 POUNDS OR ELSE THIS ROBOT WILL EAT THEM WHAT HAVE I DONE

I must train the cats to only take a shit with company

SkyNet sent this from the future to kill the cats so they don't stop it from taking over the world by sitting on the keyboard

"No, I'm fine, this is fine really"

Wut

I need to create an account on a cloud SaaS do my cats can poop

My robot's wifi password is 'neverscoop' 😐

Wife finally met the robot and I believe the words she used were "DEAR MOTHER OF GOD WHAT IN THE FRESH HELL IS THIS", followed by a sequence of words that might not be appropriate to put in here

Hearing wife in a phone call with her sister and the words "What did he do this time" were spoken

This app has PoopOps

Aaand I get an email from my pfSense because its arp watch service detected that the pooping machine connected to the wifi and acquired an IP.

This house operates like a Swiss watch.

You have no idea how slowly and carefully the cat is walking towards the monster to check it out. I wouldn't be nearly as brave in her place.

We should do a Build session involving Azure IoT, Dapr, Azure Functions and this

I'm not even joking

I shall hook my cat poop robot to Alexa so it can let me know when the cat did business

I shall hook my cat poop robot to a Twitter account, this will be a massive success

Of course the internet already had this idea and even hooked a camera because the cat hasn't had to deal with enough crap already

Surveillance Catptalism

If they can call this "insights" you can call whatever dashboard you have "insights" too. Numbers in a chart are insights.

"Am I a joke to you? Am I? Wadafuq, hooman"

I'm happy to report that according to my PoopOps insight dashboard, one of the cats finally decided to take the risk and do his business in there.

The cat is still alive.

THEY HAVE A MUSIC VIDEO AND IT IS NOT BAD AT ALL

And because I can, I'm writing a Home Assistant rule in YAML that will blink my office lights if the litter box is full of shit

Note how she's screaming in terror while trying to keep the cats safe from the cat eating monster

Well I'll be damned but they seem to like the robot litter box especially at night exactly because of the night light.

Wife said at night it looks like a spaceship form planet poo.

They're both still alive and well
