Ok, so this is completely off-topic but here, in video form, is a preliminary attempt to answer a crucial question of our age: Why not use drones to cut hair?
After watching the video, I think you will be able to see why.
Here’s the short version:

And the full video:
Well, you win some, you lose some. But hey, just because the technology isn’t there yet doesn’t mean that it won’t ever be there. I don’t doubt that someday, in our lifetime, we will all get our hair cut by hairdresser robot drones.
That is, if we don’t get murdered by gun-shooting drones first.
Oh, and all you MGTOWs out there waiting impatiently for the sexy robot ladies who will make the real ladies obsolete? You may want to hold off on your purchases until they work out all the glitches in the technology, lest you end up like the mannikin in the video above.
One thing that hair-cutting drone has in its favor is that the fans would blow all the bits of hair out of your face. Don’t know that I’d trust it to keep the BLADES out of my face, though.
So glad I subbed to her channel. Those vids always brings a smile to my face.
In the future we will all have the same haircuts and we’ll all wear silver jumpsuits. And we’ll like it, because our food pellets will be filled with some kind of happy obedience drugs.
It’s going to be AWESOME.
@ David
The main reason I want a matriarchy is that men have run science for ages now and we still don’t have jet-packs. It’s time to let the ladies have a go and see if they can sort it.
I just watched 3:47-3:54 on that longer video four times in a row, and I’m still dying.
Not all that related to drones or haircuts, but here’s a cute story about how a Dalek might actually save some lives!

Now this is a use of drones that I approve of.
OT: My local news just advertised a segment for their 11:00 news with the following:
“A local strip club has a reputation for being dirty…and it’s not the strippers, it’s the food!”
FFS.
This reminds me of a game I heard of (that’s still in development, but is scheduled to come out sometime this year) called We Happy Few.
You play as a “downer”, someone who refuses to take their government-mandated Happy Pills (I believe they’re called “Joy”) to be blissfully unaware of all the awful shit that’s going on, and your objective is to escape the dystopian, alternate-futuristic 1960’s English city you’re in.
Each level of the game is randomly-generated, so you’ll never have the same experience twice, and you’ll have to blend in with the rest of the populace, who are all taking their pills. You’ll also sometimes have to dose yourself up as well, to avoid being detected by law officials and scanners.
And the cool thing is, the parts where you’re stoned out of your gourd on Joy are really heavily saturated in color and are really vibrant, which is actually kind of spooky because it’s so happy, whereas you, as the player, are actually very much aware that shit’s going down.
If the gun drone doesn’t shoot us, the chainsaw drone will hack us to death.
@Alan
They haven’t delivered on the flying car, either. I’m of mixed feelings about that, though, because the last thing we need is asshole drivers in the air as well as on the ground.
@ bananananana
I was going to mention that too, but I’d settle for my jet-pack initially.
The asshole thing might sort itself out though. Most driving problems arise because people are sharing the same small road space. This is especially problematic where you have pedestrians, cyclists and cars in the same place (all our friends from the Netherlands are now laughing and pointing at us)
There’s an analogue for aircraft though. There’s a serious debate in the airline safety industry as to whether they should abandon the idea of air corridors and just let planes fly where they want. Statistically the chances of any two aircraft trying to occupy the same space at the same time is nearly astronomical; whereas a lot of the near misses arise because they currently have to fly up each other’s arses.
Dronecuts might go a little more smoothly if they attached a Flowbee instead of scissors.
This is another argument against Trump as POTUS. Terrorists might develop a toupee-lifting drone and embarrass him at a public event, which would be worse than thirty nuclear armageddons combined (or at least, that’s how he perceives and responds to insults).
Wait. Oh no. So SEX DRONES are the future? (Imagines an MRA kickstarter project with the prototype being a drone/hand vacuum/fleshlight mash up with duct tape).
