Amazon says the most popular item ordered for drone delivery in the 'States is AA batteries.

I was expecting condoms or plan B

finally, they have automated couriers kicking packages

What if I order volatile explosives? Would they carpet bomb me?

I’m pretty sure the answer is yes

But what does it sound like?

How will it avoid my defensive drone?

If it crashes on my property are it and its contents mine?

It shall infringe on your airspace unimpeded. Your corporate overlords demand it and so it shall be.

I thought for sure that this was a joke, or that the gif of the drone sort of…pooping out that package was fake. But I found the same gif on Amazon’s PR website. This has got to be the dumbest possible way to get a package delivered…

If it did it from a bit lower altitude, it wouldn’t be that bad… at least for some AA batteries. And look, the package even landed with the ⬆️⬆️ arrows the right side up! (/jk)

BRB, loading my shotgun with birdshot.

Hm I need a shotgun.

A water gun will also do it. You can even order one from Amazon…

Damaging an aircraft is a serious felony, and you don’t own the airspace above your house so you legally can’t interfere with them. You think the people at Amazon haven’t thought about this? That thing will be covered in cameras and microphones, you won’t be able to touch it without being charged.

Thanks for pointing that out. But it was only a joke.

It looks like they are trying to compete with fedex on how much damage they can do to your package.

I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.

I like Chinas drone delivery model, you can look up videos of it online.

Yep that’s the one I saw there I think. Drone goes into a little kiosk and then you pick it up from the claim window thing.

what the fuck, it just shits it out from a story up? Couldn’t it like, scoot down to ground level at least?
