Well, if Alexa did call the police and they showed up, there's a chance the police might just shoot you instead of the burglar in your own home anyway.

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

No they won't.

I am white.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Alright, say goodbye to your dog though.

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Just gonna stay here in Switzerland then I guess. That should be safe.

"Ophelia, call the police!"

While driving, I was using google maps on android auto when I wanted to find the nearest charging station. So I used the search function in google maps. By tapping the microphone button. IN GOOGLE MAPS. Saying clearly: "Charging station". TO GOOGLE MAPS.

"Ok. Playing playlist 'Charging station' by [some random user] in spotify"

... Nothing.

Apparently my girlfriend, who was at home, was using Spotify at that time. So it changed the playlist for her.

Technology is great.

I asked "is it going to rain tomorrow"

Google's response, "no it is not going to rain today it is going to be cloudy"

"What about tomorrow?"

"It is not going to rain this evening"

Thanks for that. Really not worried about AI taking over the world by the way.

"Just so you know, auto read is still on. You can ask me at any time to turn it off...........................................................................................

Dad says: Ok"

3 minutes later

"Just so you know, auto read is still on. You can ask me at any time to turn it off...........................................................................................

Dad says: Did you hear about [thing]"

Then they have the audacity to tell me auto read is OFF if I turn it off and get a text

By get shot sixteen times, OP means that Roxanne came on, so he and the burglar immediately proceeded to get WRECKED playing the Roxanne drinking game. Sixteen shots didn't even get him through the first chorus.

For those who don't know:

How to play the Roxanne drinking game All you need to play is a sound system of some sort, and the song ‘Roxanne’ by The Police. Next, you split everybody up into 2 teams (usually boys on one team, girls on the other). The girls drink when they hear the word ‘Roxanne’, and the boys drink when they hear ‘put on a red light’. Doesn’t sound like much of a drinking game, right? Wrong! It’s unbelievable how many times The Police repeat these lyrics in the song and so this game can be a good laugh if played occasionally.

[-] FierySpectre@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

There's drinking at a good tempo and then there's this.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

You mean an even better tempo?

I kid. I kid!

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 14 points 1 month ago

That’s so much alcohol, the local atmosphere would turn highly flammable.

[-] Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a fun game! Depending on tolerance, maybe beer instead of shots...

Reminds me of the game thunderstruck. Get everyone in a circle with a few drinks on hand. Start the song "thunderstruck" by AC/DC. First person starts chugging and on every time they say "thunderstruck", that person stops chugging and the next in line starts. Very fun but uneven. Once the into starts, one person is chugging for a bit.

A more sustainable, but way more difficult than it seems game is power hour. There should be multiple versions of it on YouTube. At least there were circa 2010.

It plays a song for a minute, then changes to another song for a minute, then another and so on over sixty minutes.

Every time the song changes, you take a shot of beer.

When I was in college about three hundred years ago, it was called the century club and went for one hundred minutes, but since we didn't have YouTube back then, it was just watching the clock. Amazing how fast that God damned second game can move.

[-] Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, we tried that one. I didn't think anyone's stomach volume is large enough for that amount. None of us could get past the 45 minute mark.

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

Pro Version of this game:

Listen to "Hot dog" by Limp Bizkit and take a shot for every "fuck" you hear.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Been meaning to add a Google Home routine that turns EVERYTHING on at once.

"Hey Google. House party protocol."

STUN

Damn, that made me think of a use for my ceiling-mount strobe and "AHHOOGAH" horn. What shall I do tonight?

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

And all the power supplies charging up at the same time trips your breaker and the whole house goes dark and takes out your security system lmao.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Dark works too, you know the layout better than the intruder

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I bump into shit with the lights on, turning them off is not going to make that better.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Perfect time for the cat to trip me -_-

Smoke machine hidden in the vents

I think that was also a joke in US by Jordan Peele ?

Edit found the clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uAEWFPmAwU

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was wondering for far too long about what made that joke just for America.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago

Joke's on the robber. He'll have to shoot me since I'm a neckbeard loser and don't possess any valuables. Checkmate.

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 2 points 1 month ago

Easy, just grow a neckbeard thick enough to block the bullets

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Would no longer be a burglar at the point of holding someone up.

Follow for more useless contributions to the meme.

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 10 points 1 month ago

On the plus side you can bleed out knowing they now have to spend all that time and effort trying to find your valuables.

[-] gearheart@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

This is 2024. What valuables? 😂

What the burglar gonna do, take over my rent and loans? 😂

They'll force you to take on some other people's anonymised debt at gunpoint.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah we won't need to get this far, I don't own anything that hasn't already lost all value.

Plot twist:

. Burglar: This... this was the song they played at my mum's funeral last week

. Me: do you want to talk about it ?

. Burglar: Yeah... can we ?

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

No one is calling the police. Skjut, gräv, tig.

And here come the downvotes. 🤣

Make sure you record when you blow your dick off.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

The statistical chances of accidentally hitting it are quite low.

[-] Xatolos@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago

At that close range, you can easily hit tiny objects.

That did not go according to plan at all!


The plan:

ME: "Haha sure thing dude-ALEXA CALL THE POLICE"

ALEXA: "Calling the police"

phone ringing

ME: staring at burglar

BURGLAR: staring at me

phone ringing some more

EMERGENCY OPERATOR: "Hello, this is 911, what is your emergency?"

BURGLAR: staring at me

ALEXA: "There is a robbery taking place at..."

BURGLAR: looking at me

ME: whistling

EMERGENCY OPERATOR: "Alright, we'll dispatch officers immediately. Stay safe"

ALEXA: "Thank you" hangs up

BURGLAR: going to fetch a chair

ME: twiddling my thumbs

BURGLAR: cleaning his gun for a solid four minutes

ME: looking at my shoes for a good three more minutes

sirens becoming audible in the distance

BURGLAR: "Oh no!" runs away

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Alexa: plays Call The Police video

Me: o.O
Burglar: O.O
Actual police person: :・゚✧(=✪ ᆺ ✪=):・゚✧
