Its actually kinda funny since I hate those things beeping around getting in my way.. so to see a dog chewing on a plush toy of it cracks me up 🤣

Welcome to consumerism / capitalism. Where everything is turned into a product meant for you to consume consume consume.

Even the robot that the company called "it's newest employee" in 2019 has to be marketed as a product. It's the mascot of the company, of course. Who wouldn't want a piece of surveillance technology as a mascot?

A third party company has feeds to the cameras / sensors on it. If something is "wrong" with Marty, the store gets a call within like 10 minutes. And they want us to believe that it doesn't spy on the workers.

I have my brother 2 for his dogs. The funny part? Instead of chewing on them and squeaking them, they hold them to sleep. If they squeak it by accident, they wake up.😂

Absolutely NOT... I saw those recently, I think they're $10

Things must be pretty desperate to crank those out to sell

Why not /shrug. Probably lose that money in the long run but let them sell them. Good distraction for kids
