@squirrel I will cuddle any and all emotional robots

(if they want to be cuddled, if they don't, I won't)

Holy crap

Up to 50% performance drop on iphones after the spectre security patch

Not content with taking over every other industry, robots are coming for the stripping jobs

Basically variations on this are why I shouldn't ever look at what's on aliexpress

If I had the money just about everyone I know would be receiving shipping containers of increasingly strange things

Me: Hello $bank, I'd like a loan of $largeSumOfMoney please

Bank: Why do you want the loan?

Me: I want to send a shipping container full of implausibly large squirrel plushies to a squirrel just to see the inevitably hilarious look on her face when it arrives

Bank: no.

@squirrel I'd buy you them, but I don't have that much money and it would be a really interesting conversation with the bank

Bank: You're massively overdrawn on your account, why?
Me: I had to send 100, 1 metre tall plush squirrels to a robosquirbun half way around the world from me
Bank: wut?

@squirrel if you want definitely plushie ones then the best I've found is a metre tall https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/wholesale-Bedtime-Originals-Lavender-Woods-Plush_60552810960.html?

Minimum order quantity of 100 though

Then again, who wouldn't want 100 cute squirrels?

Hm... it's inflatable rather than a plushie but I'm sure it could be filled with polyfill

@squirrel, I think my mission is complete https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/3M-Pvc-Giant-Inflatable-Squirrel-Outside_60551132976.html?

Yes, that's a 3 metre tall inflatable squirrel

@Vann@glitch.social they say that everybody wants to be a cat

@squirrel lots of cuddly in a surprisingly small space

@noelle 3's a good number, especially for videogames, can have all that screen with no gap in the middle

After that 4 is too many, but 5 is good if you do two horizontal each side and the middle vertical

@masklayer no rainbows, I want rainbows on top of my japanese hybrid

@masklayer a prius with a rainbow flag on top would be delightful

LB: It's true!
