can a rice cooker really be called abandoned if it contains an octopus family? now, the real question is whether that was a harmonious inter-species household, or if the crab just wanted to eat the eggs.

Holy hell - seconds after I started that video my iPod began playing Devo's "PEEK-A-BOO!"

Wow.

/HA HA HA HA!
//kinda freaking out about that right now

Wow. That headline was not metaphorical in any way, nor was there any anime involved!

Pretty darn cool.

Sid_6.7: The true Final Boss of the Internet has finally revealed itself!

Also... this.

Who lives in a rice cooker under the sea?

I'm more mystified by the screwdriver.

So someone was trying to repair a rice cooker at sea, got mad, and tossed everything overboard?

Taaaa-daaaaaaa

I'm really high right now, so that was wayyyyy trippy!

/Wow
//Kinda freaking out

Octopus: "I thought you were going to guard the rice cooker."

Crab: "Yeah, against fish and shiat. That was a frikkin robot!"

Not a robot, dammit.

Pssh, damn robots messing with that crab's shiat. Octopus was all "Hey jackass, I'm spawning here!"

You can see the little octopus eggs hanging off the top of the cooker.

Weirdest. Drive-by. Ever.

My favorite Fark headline in ages.

bugmn99: Octopus: "I thought you were going to guard the rice cooker."

Crab: "Yeah, against fish and shiat. That was a frikkin robot!"

LOL

best video all week

Was she out of ink?

Don Piano: Not a robot, dammit.

Really? Well, WTF would you call this?

Ya know, the octopus was probably thinking to herself. "hey, this abandoned rice cooker is gonna make for a great place to lay my eggs. I'm out in the middle of nowhere and there ain't gonna be anyone around to bug me."

Well, until that crab moved in... Lousy upstairs neighbors.

And then that damn robot. WTF, didn't see that coming.

/not to anthropomorphize or anything

OMG, an octopus w/ a screwdriver, now that is scary.

I wonder why they didn't stick one of the robot's appendages in the crab's or octopuses butthole?

Good thing the rice cooker landed upright. With a tiny screwdriver right next to it. And a robot with some some incredibly bright lighting found it almost a mile down.

Krymson Tyde: I wonder why they didn't stick one of the robot's appendages in the crab's or octopuses butthole?

I hope you never get a mech.

ElQue: But where the hell is my happy cake oven?


The secret ingredient is love, dammit.

NOW GET BACK MY OVEN, OR DIE TRYING!

You hear that Stormy? DIE.

BackAssward: Don Piano: Not a robot, dammit.

Looks like a Robot to me, to be specific a Telepresence robot, or Telerobot.


From the wiki;

Telerobots

When a human cannot be present on site to perform a job because it is dangerous, far away, or inaccessible, teleoperated robots, or telerobots are used. Rather than following a predetermined sequence of movements, a telerobot is controlled from a distance by a human operator. The robot may be in another room or another country, or may be on a very different scale to the operator. For instance, a laparoscopic surgery robot allows the surgeon to work inside a human patient on a relatively small scale compared to open surgery, significantly shortening recovery time.[75] When disabling a bomb, the operator sends a small robot to disable it. Several authors have been using a device called the Longpen to sign books remotely.[76] Teleoperated robot aircraft, like the Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, are increasingly being used by the military. These pilotless drones can search terrain and fire on targets.[77][78] Hundreds of robots such as iRobot's Packbot and the Foster-Miller TALON are being used in Iraq and Afghanistan by the U.S. military to defuse roadside bombs or Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in an activity known as explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).[79]

srry, just like a pig ball with a camera ISNT a robot, this IS a robot by the definition found in any modern up to date dictionary.

I think you guys are having a problem with thinking all robots are automatons, which behave independently using programmed instructions (not always electronic programs either).

This is clearly a case of "all poodles are dogs but not all dogs are poodles"

Where the hell is the water that clear 4,000 feet down?

You know, everyone with internet access in the entire world can access The Wiki. And change the content. Perhaps you should look into that.

It isn't.
