Wait, were roommates supposed to be making our beds?
That’s it! I’m calling my old roommate to tell her what a bitch she was for only making her own bed.
Let me translate this thought process from rich asshole to regular human:
- People need roommates because they cannot afford to live on their own.
- The reason they cannot afford to live on their own is because they aren’t working enough hours (to make him more money.
- The reason they aren’t working enough hours is because they have to spend too much time engaged in activities that aren’t work.
- A robot frees them of having to do things that aren’t work.
- Thefore a domestic robot will make his workers do more work and achieve their purpose of working and paying all their bills.
They just forgot the part where the people that need roommates don’t have money to buy a robot, or pay the subscription for the robot, or the “don’t kill me in my sleep” premium upgrade for said robot subscription.
Well you see, if we increase costs to a point where you need to work 100+ hours a week just to survive then you’ll have to buy the robot just to do it.
The model is probably that you have to rent or finance the robot or something so that it just costs you productivity instead of a big up-front cost.
I needed that explanation
He will also make money renting domestic robots to his workers and take the cost off their paychecks while also spying on them at home and selling that data to other companies.
Thank you. It’s actually quite reasonable when you put it that way.
This is just weird
I looked it up thinking there had to be more to this that just isn’t pictured here. We’re missing context or something
I can find nothing.
This guy literally thinks people have roommates to make their bed for them?
Even thinking people have roommates to help with chores, instead of bills, why the fuck would he think the main chore we need help with is “making my bed”?
Like I’m going to bring somebody else into my house so they can make my bed for me? My bed? That’s weird as fuck
He thinks maids are housemates.
Maybe he thinks house maids is spelled housemates 😄
Tell me that the only person willing to live with you is your live-in maid without telling me that the only person willing to live with you is your live-in maid.
Maybe he thinks roommates is what poor people call their maids?
Though I’d happily make my potential roommates bed every morning instead of paying rent.
People need roommates because they don’t make enough money to live on their own. He concludes that the reason they don’t have enough money is because they aren’t working hard enough for him because they have to do so many domestic chores. This robot promises to free you from the “profitless” enterprise of doing things that aren’t making money for him.
I get that, and while that’s super out of touch with pretty much everything, to me, that’s the least weird thing about this
Lets go with his logic and pretend we do need roommates for chores.
Out of all of the chores he thinks I need help with he thinks it’s making my bed? Not dishes, or cleaning, or shopping… making my bed? And not even my own bed, he thinks I have a roommate who comes into my room and makes my bed for me?
He thinks we all have strangers living in our houses to make our beds for us?
Yeah it’s stupid as hell that this man thinks we have roommates as maids instead of people to help pay bills, but it’s even more stupid that he thinks the #1 chore that we would need these people for is bed making. And now that there’s a robot that can make your bed for you, that’s it? That’s the end of roommates?
I don’t need a robot to cook for me or clean for me or anything else? Bed making is the end game?
WTF is wrong with this man. This is all so fucking weird
I get that
I don’t think you got it.
They’re saying the guy thinks you have roommates because you can’t afford rent, not because you need someone to do chores. You make your own bed in his world, but making the bed and other domestic chores are so time consuming that you cannot work enough to make enough money to not have a roommate.
That is, he thinks if you don’t have chores then you can work more, earn more, afford no roommate.
It’s super out of touch as you said, but he’s not suggesting roommates do your bed.
Does the robot pay the rent?
Why is my roommate making my bed?
Because people exist to be exploited by you. What other value could another person possibly have,?
Why isn’t mine?!!!
No it costs $20,000. Then costs $400/month for the premium Roommate plan. $50 for the AI-compatible sheets only washable by your CoMpAny-ApProVeD washing machine.
Also you pay with your private data
Warning: Robot not responsible for any damaged goods, or murdered humans.
For that much I better be able to fuck it.
The robot that you can fuck just killed the “need a girlfriend” argument.
Or boyfriend. 😏
That’s in the premium subscription.
Who makes their bed, anyway? I cannot think of a reason to do so.
My aunt once told me “making your bed is like making yourself a present you can unwrap later”.
Didn’t inspire me at all
As someone who has perpetually battled the blankets never being correct - you’re gonna end up doing it anyway. The only difference is that one way looks much nicer than the other, and has the added benefit of being a start-up ritual.
I rarely do, there’s usually a cat or three on it
My mom just moved into an assisted-living facility and immediately had a fall trying to make her own bed. They of course make the beds for you there but only after breakfast and my mom’s mind at 7:30 am couldn’t handle the “mess” … of one corner of the blanket being turned down. Meanwhile I just sleep on my mattress with a mexican blanket over me.
Yeah, like I need an entire robot for a chore I only do every six months.
Alright, maybe I could use one…
No, the robot killed the “need a maid” argument.
No, the robot killed Grandma when it glitched out (having never properly functioned to start) fell on her and punctured her lung.
There’s an onion video about "Sony 's newest thing that doesn’t fucking do what it’s supposed to do.
I don’t know about you, but I will be spending my entire evening trying to coax some semblance of functionality out of this motherfucking time vampire

Good bot
You had a 50/50 chance of getting the real link. Guess you were either lucky or unluck depending on how you see things.

I’m imagining that guy spraying water in the face of a whimpering man chained to a radiator while yelling “Shut up! Bad roommate!”
Was this Eraserhead?
What a fucking idiot. How out-of-touch can they be!?
It’s so out of touch that it flips around to being some bizarro joke that no comedian could actually come up with. So far removed from the reassuring embrace of reason, yet somehow manages to capture everything wrong with this world in but a few words. It’s… beautiful.
Wait… Do rich people think we need roommates to… MAKE OUR BEDS??? Are they so delusional they think “well I know the poors can’t afford maids like me, so how does their bed get made? Oh, I see! This is why they need roommates! They get roommates so the roommate will make their bed!”
What’s even funnier is that the video of the robot making the bed was AI generated. This bed making robot doesn’t even exist, yet guy has to shame people having roommates? :D
Rich people really do cosplay as poor eh
About what I’d expect from people that have to pay for friends
At first I thought that robot was folding a person into that bed.
I can’t tell when his first name ends and second name begins.
The rich lack the empathy to care that you can’t “afford” something. They think everything is a choice. The homeless chose to be homeless as much as they chose to be rich. Fucking delusional evil people!
We are the collection of all of “our” choices.
Even the ones we made before we were born by people we’ll never meet lol
They genuinely believe their familial history and it being the reason they’re rich or privileged enough to become wealthy is their own doing, that they actively participated in creating that opportunity and they’ll call themselves a rags to riches success story for investing a small inheritance or loan of a million dollars into hundreds of millions, saying it was all grind and sheer willpower. They think everyone who didn’t do that is dumber than they are, and then they’ll tell you all about their neat ideas on how scientists and experts are wrong and how all their boys at the private country club told them the real truth about health and economics and women and the poor and anyone who doesn’t believe it is a sucker and deserves it.
It’s the same as divine right of kings and queens
That it’s God’s will that they are the monarch, they are not bound by normies laws etc, and everything they do is blessed by God.
We have failed, as a society, to educate them that there is any other truth to this
Just choose to be born healthy to a rich family. DUH
It’s funny how the most valid part of Christianity, that rich people are the most evil, is the part modern “Christians” reject the most.
Well, very few people like to be told they’re the villain…
99.999% of Christians are not wealthy
No, but their preachers all talk Prosperity Gospel at them. And a preacher wouldn’t lie about the word of God!
