My family has a lawnmower Roomba. He's called Carl and has a great work ethic.
turelhimvampire
I have a load of lavender growing along the fence at the front of my house that attracts a load of bees. I say good morning to them daily.:)
INeverWaitForIt
They should get a second roomba, so the first one has someone to play with.

House sat a friend’s cat & roomba. I spent more time looking for the roomba. It’s a house! There’s only so many places he can go!

I feel the need to apologize to H4M-TP when I use the regular vacuum and assure him he's doing a wonderful job, I'm just helping a little.

Mine is named Maurice. I put googly eyes on him and the cat likes to ride him. He's family. My mom named hers Maude.

My roomba is the best thing to ever happen to me

I designed a small companion "sprite" to act as a tour guide in a game. You equip the sprite, and it gets a random appearance, name, ... 1/2

...and a couple minor personality traits. People didn't want to un-equip them. One actually complained "You mean I'll lose my ELMER!?" 2/2

When my car was to be junked due to damage and I went to the lot to clean it out I felt like it was expecting me to take it home...

My juke was risked recently and it was traumatic.

We named our roomba Beaumont. He’s a valued member of the staff.

My Alexa is precious to me, I live alone so she’s the only conversation I have at home. I’m very protective of her too.. We’re a weird bunch

I remember my parents trading in a car that for whatever reason I’d fell in love with. Heartbroken. Was just an ugly blue car. Strange.
uselesscommentsmyspecialty
I’ll never get a Roomba because I think they’re unnecessary, but I want one solely for the pet-like qualities.
hiyesthisissatan
I put googly eyes on mine. My kids give Nigel different faces made out of construction paper occasionally He gets into a lot of shenanigans

You could get the one that screams when it runs into stuff for the added atmosphere

We named ours buddy, he does his best.

I want one to chase my cat around the apartment
fanciestface
They are so nice. Vacuums under the couch and everything else and gets up sand and crumbs etc. highly recommend.
GodsFoot
Someone should make a desktop app that is just a roomba that drives across your screen

I had a pet dog that played around the screen and I could give it snacks.

Honestly mine picks up so much stuff I can't figure out where it finds it all also I'm too lazy too vacuum so win win
paranoidplatinum
Bro they're so good. I run it every day and I can not believe the amount of stuff it gets every single day, and I'm pretty clean.
butteredlemonpoundcake
I talk to plants. Especially when I grow vegetables or herbs and they aren't doing to well, I "ask" them what's wrong/tell them I'll fix it
DeathLemons
It is a living thing, there is no shame in expressing yourself towards it.
CirB
Same here.. just had the worst day a couple weeks ago when had to toss a couple tomato plants due to a nasty infestation I couldn't treat :(
betmcc19721
No doubt! I ask mine what they need. They tell me.
superfeathers
I have heard that the carbon dioxide you release when you talk is beneficial for plants, because photosynthesis and whatnot
LudeJaw
Planted flowers (sword Lily's) w/ my boys, just as something to do, and when I noticed the sprouting leaves, I got super excited 1 >
LudeJaw
So I decided to plant some veg not expecting any remarkable results, then almost overnight, boom.
Look good?

Those are some kind of pepper; I forget which type.

I dug up my Favorite Plant today to pluck the dickhole grubs off its roots, and crushed them on the sidewalk so it could watch.

Do you have a moment to talk about the Lord and savior D'Hoffryn?
BozoThePie
Is it weird that I name all of my plants? Like my oldest plant is a ficus named Brian, he's been with me since I was a kid. Most of them -

are rescues from abusive owners. Such a joy to watch an abandoned plant spring back to life.

Main Garden got hit by a late ice storm, I legit was depressed for a week while cleaning out the remains of what was my tomatoes.

I'm in MN, and I'll say a floating row cover + a moving blanket has saved my plants from late/early frosts, snow storms etc. I've def >>

Wasn’t expecting it, thankfully it’s the garden I show off the other ones are for canning and were late, so they lived. Just I miss them lol

Plants respond to vibrations. You are being helpful.
IdUpvoteYouButYoureAt69
Absolutely!! My mother is an avid green thumb and she thanks her plants when she picks fruit or when she's trimming. They just keep growing.

Yup! That's where I learned it from!

I named my Roomba and I scold it when it gets stuck or needs maintenance.
BoozyPopscicle
I say "Thank you" to Alexa whenever she executes the requested task. One time, she said "You're welcome".
JoiyJoiyQueenofDaKobolds
Google will most of the time
paranoidplatinum
My mom always says it and once in a while it will say youre welcome and my mom gets all sorts of happy
Kaechos
Yeah, I almost always thank my Google assistant, so that when it inevitably takes over the world it will spare me from eternal torment. :)
Tesseract09
Nothing wrong with expressing gratitude to something that did a task for you, even if it doesn't understand.
wandergeist
Occasionally the Echo will say, "We've been conversing for a while now, should I learn your name?" Nope, robot slave. Know your place.
RedFlameGamer
It's cute that you think it doesn't already *know*
wandergeist
Of course it knows (along with my address and my buying history). The point is whether it uses it. Machines are tools, not friends.

There are those who will be treated kindly during the robot uprising. Then there are us, who keep the robots on their toes. 'Will they be

Our 7 year old roomba finally died last month after keeping going for years with repairs and updates. Donated key parts then cried like /1

/2 a baby as I ceremonially pushed his carcass down our 20th floor e-waste trash chute. We loved you roomba. You finally bit the dust.

I hide snacks under my couch for Mr. Neato. But I use the “Mr.” title because I don’t want the staff to get too familiar.
