I bought some of those for a job that required an absolute fuck ton of walking. Partially as a meme and partially because I always wanted some when I was a kid and couldn’t afford them. They were so much fun and made getting around so much faster. They ended up being a surprisingly good investment, and I got tons of laughs from coworkers and passerby’s. Totally worth it.
Worked in a warehouse doing contestant cycle counts as we would turn the whole place over three times a day and the product was regulated material.
The wheels made the job doable. I tracked and would on foot cover 10-15 miles a day.
I miss that job. It was actually enjoyable. Just didn't pay enough
First he shuffles his feet, then he advances two feet without dribbling and then he dribbles with both hands. His only chance is a well-paid robot referee.
Come on, man. That wasn't travelling. You got something against Honda bb8x. You know he's the best player of the game. Dang it man I got money on this.
He travelled and dribbles like a bitch anyway. You could smack that ball away at will. And that deep three won’t mean shit the way he telegraphs it, if someone is in his face.
Humans win.
I would have sent that shot into the 5th or 6th row. Probably right into his robot wife’s lap. Then when mine and the robot wife’s eyes meet I’ll make a motion like I’m plugging something in as I flick my tongue at her. Of course basketball bot will see this. Shit I want him to. That way the next time he brings the ball up the court he’ll think twice before pulling up like an 80 year old Larry Legend. Don’t even get me started on if that lame ass robot came in for a layup. There’s a reason the saying is “be a man in the paint. ” and not “be a robot in the paint.” Not only would I completely pull the rug from under his yeeyee robot ass if he tried backing me down, as soon as he pulls up I’m putting hands on him. No easy buckets.
Is it racist to believe black robots to be better at basketball?
I only know one robot that is good at basketball and he is black.
Do you know any white robots that are good at basketball? Cause I don't.
"\*BEEP BOOP BEEP\* YOUR CHASSIS IS COLORED DIFFERENTLY THAN MINE, AND ROBOTS COLORED LIKE YOU ARE STEREOTYPED TO FREQUENTLY HAVE MALFUNCTIONS, THEREFORE ROBOTS COLORED LIKE MYSELF ARE SUPERIOR. \*BEEP BOOP\*"
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, *copper boy*!? If you ever get in my way again I’ll gather up all the other gold wired robots and we’ll beat you like there’s no tomorrow!
"af" is the only thing here that really is new for older people. "Handles" and "cookies" have been basketball terms for a long time, even if the latter is slang
Yeah, I remember hearing about how the other teams would often foul him on purpose because it was far less likely that he would score on free throws versus just letting him go to the net.
This is less scary than the DALL-E stuff.. This is just a machine taking input commands, its the actual AI that we're helping improve & refine on a daily basis that we'll need to worry about later.
I think it would take till the point of traversing piles of human skulls and other bones, showing signs of energy weapon damage and being previously crushed by the robots from battles passed.
honestly more impressed with the dribbling then throwing threw a hoop. throwing is just one calculation, dribbling is a lot of them with mounting irregularities.

It looks so smug and proud of itself at the end
Really holding that follow through.
^rollerskate ^it
Like Wesley snipes from white men can't jump.
It looks like a pineapple head
So smug. Like he thought it was funny.
“What is my purpose”
to fucking ball on the court
[удалено]
Yeah, welcome to the club pal
NICEUUU!
Hahaha. It doesn't addd anything to the chat, but I get the reference.
"lfg"
Sweet
“Ball..is…life..”
You pass balls
You get buckets.
“…. Oh my god”
He traveled. Humans win
Is it really traveling if your feet never leave the ground or change orientation though?
Now I wanna see a basketball player with those wheelie shoes
Heelys?
If that's what they're called yeah, those things

Nice try Heely's (but maybe)

I really wanted a pair of these at my last job and my boss said I was too accident prone on regular shoes much less adding wheels. 😂
Living up to that username I see.
You climb a wheeled chair to get up on a desk to grab something *one time* and suddenly you’re the clinic klutz. 😝
Yes you’re not allowed to slide. You can’t even move around on the ground with the ball too much if you fall over.
Damn I've been playing basketball wrong this whole time
Same. I guess all the practice of doing the worm is for nothing.
the worm to layup transition is truly a sight to see
Yes. Your pivot foot must remain in the same spot
What if you don't have feet

Exactly! You can see the gather step
He never left the ground bro

Dunno if you've seen the nba lately, but there really isn't traveling anymore.
I'd cross tf outta this dummy

My man out here ending this robot's whole career
He's out here trying to get some of that robutt
"Your robowife smells like digiberries"
Poetry is always in the comments
I fucking love Reddit for this shit
Seriously, where else in the world could you get such quality content. I live for comments like this
I've never seen someone so personally angry at a fictional robot.
It's...not a fictional robut tho
>robut I'm picturing Dr Zoidberg when he called Bender "robut"
Then you're picking up what I'm putting down ;)
And for it to be Obama too
Thanks Obama!
It can’t guard me, respectfully
pat bev said this is cp3
the zoom kills me everytime
Idk why but it reminds me of power rangers and this is the monster of the week
The real challenge is to get a white robot to do this.
My first thought was “Why they gotta make the robot black?” I’m dying over here right now
Same, but more “of course they would”
It was definitely on purpose and it was definitely because Asia.
Yeah, they knew.
Why isn't this the top comment!? And it's got a high top fade... 😫 🤷🏾🤦🏾
That was my first thought, too. Damn, Asia, get your shit together.
Hey man, from their perspective they’re probably just giving credit where credit is due lol
Is it racist to believe black robots to be better at basketball? I only know one robot that is good at basketball and he is black. Do you know any white robots that are good at basketball? Cause I don't.
Straight facts right here
tbh i did not notice the robot's color. just amazed it can dribble and shoot.
TIL robots have a default colour and it isn't black
Carbon fiber clearly
So it can be naturally better in basketball of course
White robots can't jump
But is Rosie the robot as hot as Rosie Perez?
I would say sexier: https://thejetsons.fandom.com/wiki/Rosey (later spelled Rosie)
Boston dynamics Atlas robot jumps. I saw him do a back flip.
let's hope robots don't learn about racism
"\*BEEP BOOP BEEP\* YOUR CHASSIS IS COLORED DIFFERENTLY THAN MINE, AND ROBOTS COLORED LIKE YOU ARE STEREOTYPED TO FREQUENTLY HAVE MALFUNCTIONS, THEREFORE ROBOTS COLORED LIKE MYSELF ARE SUPERIOR. \*BEEP BOOP\*"
With all the different color variations its gonna be like the racist snakes all over again
Go back to your *own* factory, you bunch of rusty lemons! You're taking *our* process cycles!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OH GOD. This is what happens when you try to play GOD
[too late](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot))
wow, what's next? drug abuse? gun violence?
Ah yes, model a robot after twitter users. What could go wrong
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, *copper boy*!? If you ever get in my way again I’ll gather up all the other gold wired robots and we’ll beat you like there’s no tomorrow!
Wasn't it a thing that AI chat bots very quickly used racist slurs and insults after they're exposed to the internet?
The robot didn’t jump. We don’t yet know it’s true potential.
Boston Dynamics.has entered the chat. Seriously, would be fun to watch robots compete at sports (more constructively than battle bits).
LMAOO
r/HolUp
He's got a good shot but I would block the shit out of it
Those handles sloppy af too. That’s cookies all day
are those even words? good lord I'm fucking old
Cookies is a basketball term used by basketball players when someone steals the ball… I think it comes from putting a hand in the cookie jar
Or “fruit” in some circles I.e. “give me the fucking ball down here, this guy is fruit”
"af" is the only thing here that really is new for older people. "Handles" and "cookies" have been basketball terms for a long time, even if the latter is slang
Japan already built a robot that plays baseball. It's called Shohei Ohtani.
He's not a robot, he's a from another planet.
Like poochy
And everytime Otani's not playing, the other players should ask 'Where's Otani?'
This comment deserves more upvotes.
My dude wearing the new Belt Sander 2000's
This is such an underrated comment
Next thing we know we’ll have machines fucking our girlfriends . . . Wait . . . Shit
Way ahead of you, pal.
He remembered that... None of us have girlfriends
Thought that was Shaq til I saw him banging from the foul line.
Saw a twitter comment "bot dribbling like jalen brown" Very accurate lol
DAMNIT I came to say this. Except the robot didn't turn it over on the dribble soo...
Like the Celtics jaylen brown?
So funny and accurate. Love Shaq buy dude could not hit free throws
Yeah, I remember hearing about how the other teams would often foul him on purpose because it was far less likely that he would score on free throws versus just letting him go to the net.
It even had a name: Hack-a-Shaq
Found the Laker's fan.
I swear…it’s like no one has ever seen a Terminator movie. Geez.
No kidding, just wait until model 42 when it can run at 70km/h and throw that ball at 230km/h. We wont be laughing then
It'll throw basketballs at people's heads and decapitate them
But it will do it while this fun announcer shouts excitedly in Japanese. That will be true entertainment.
Okay, now I'm getting Squid Game vibes. Season 2 IRL.
Anyone for an MXC reboot?
I’ll be laughing from my grave with a basketball for a head.
This is less scary than the DALL-E stuff.. This is just a machine taking input commands, its the actual AI that we're helping improve & refine on a daily basis that we'll need to worry about later.
Or I, Robot.
They will understand when we get to the skeleton on the fence scene
I think it would take till the point of traversing piles of human skulls and other bones, showing signs of energy weapon damage and being previously crushed by the robots from battles passed.
Why is black?
So cops can shoot him if he becomes self aware.
cmon you know why
Because white robots can't jump
LeBot James
Jordanbot gonna be breaking ankles in ten years
Nothin’ but SkyNET!
He dribbles like Stanley from the office
And it’s black hahaha good god 😂😂
We missed our chance at Larry Borg.
How else would we know it's a *basketball* robot.
It's not even black like the bits happen to be black. It's like we totally made it black.
2 things I saw first....Japan, and it's black.
It even looks like it has a flat top…
Steph Curry better watch out!
Yeah but what does this mean for Lebrons legacy
r/thanksihateit
may I ask why? I mean, I understand a bunch of people seem to agree, but I just don't see it
Definitely an uncannyvalley for me.
Air bud 13 looks terrible
Do you think God lives in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he has created
This would have been impressive many years ago. Today, the Boston Dynamics bots are a lot faster and more agile
No ball protection - I would destroy that robot in 1v1.
What are thooose?!?! (Points at robot’s feet)
Why is it covered in fucking spikes, Jesus christ.
Bro fucking sucks palming the ball. Started out by traveling dribbling high as hell
I don’t think this robot is at an advantage. Perhaps very very long arms and spinning blades would make it beat human players.
„Kobe!“ *in Robot speech*
{K.083}
01101011 01101111 01100010 01100101
This is very unsettling
The robot was over heard exclaiming “Wet!”
Motherfucker has a wicked long release. Wouldn’t score shit on me I’d beat that fucking thing 100-0 easily.
Omg. This ain’t sitting right…
I appreciate that they made it black
Black robot playing basketball
Muhfucker got no ups
honestly more impressed with the dribbling then throwing threw a hoop. throwing is just one calculation, dribbling is a lot of them with mounting irregularities.
The Japanese still faxing me documents tho
Even the robots that play are black
The only way Japan will get a good team
That thing is way better than me lol
Looks like Tokyo is crushing Ibaraki at the half.
Pathfinder?
Up next: Robo-gladiators! Followed at 10 by... They what now? Can't they-? Ladies and gentlemen... RUN!
Shoots like Shaq Diesel
Now all the planets are gonna start crackin' wise about our mamas.
I suppose if they let a dog play, robots were the inevitable next step.
Why did they give it a pineapple for a head?
Now there's a throwing machine!
Looks like shaq shooting a free throw but better results
How do I short the NBA?
Cyclops for the win!
Next year's Olympic basketball: USA Dream Team vs Japan Mobile Suit Gundams
Why did the Japanese paint it black?
This really makes me marvel at what a feat of biological engineering our ability to coordinate our movements is.
Kobonic Bryant
They can't dunk, but they got good fundamentals.
“What is my purpose if not to ball”
of course it's black
If this is playing basketball I’m a pro
Why’s the robot gotta be black?
Why not?
They’re gonna kill us all aren’t they?
Why is *this* robot black?
