    I will say this: it’s always going to be impressive to me when robots make my breakfast. But after seeing those ramen-bots doing it at high speed and fighting with knives, and after watching those robo-arms pitch fastballs to each other, I just feel like breakfast should be made a little more quickly than these ones manage to do it.

    I suppose they’re for elderly persons who don’t want a speeding robot zipping about with with a butter knife in its clampers, and who probably aren’t in a hurry in the morning, and furthermore the robots could start before you got up — but still. At least do tricks with the toast or something.

    Also: thanks to the helpful annotator who has helped us locate the aforementioned toast.
