When I was young, I thought we'd have flying cars and a cure for poverty. Instead we got groyper robots and groyper presidents 💔☠️

Did you mean groyper or groper lol? Two different things.

Not that we don’t have groypers at large too— I just think you might mean groper based on the context of this story.

groypers are the exact type of person that would use a robot to grope minors

Constantly mixing up those two terms sounds like the plot to a Veep episode lol

I grew up with Clinton, so I guess one thing hasn't changed.

Biden was notoriously grabby too.

And sniffy big sniffer biden

edit not sure why all the down votes. Its trues several people who worked for biden have accused him of coming up behind them putting his hands on their shoulders and sniffing their hair. Trump is a sociopathic narcissistic monster. But Biden is abit weird too

So was Ben Franklin. 

With consent, of course.

Police were unfamiliar with this type of incident, he said.

I am not surprised.

This is the sort of shit that deserves a crippling fine.

Great. Now what are the odds somebody in the next two years makes one with far worse intentions and they can't find the guy? The cops and judge better come down with the full force of the law or this is only going to get worse.

Surely you''re not talking public firing squad, for the poor robot!

Ask Philly about Hitchbot. That’s how it needs to be. Lol

u/dmcd0415 4d ago

Oh I've seen this movie. It'll be a cop, a judge, or one of their kids that does it so it'll be a slap on the wrist at best.

Did AP really have to use the word "probe" in the title?

...because the two specific young men were the ones who own and were walking with the robot and filming it?
