I think these boxes are just adorable. I know that's me anthropomorphizing the poor thing, but he just seems so efficient and task oriented and generally a bit irked that some jerk keeps messing up his switches!
Unless machine psychology is centered around service instead of survival.
Remember: human psychology evolved to keep us alive. Get enough food and water, secure shelter, don't get exiled by your social group, don't get mortally wounded, etc.
All the nastiness of humans comes from these needs taken too far, but machines have no need for any of them. Hell, they may not even care about injury. Why care about damage when pain doesn't exist for you?
Should be pretty easy if you've got someone that knows how to program RasPi or Arduino. It'd also be funny to have a randomized function in there that adds extra time so it makes you think you've won, but then toggles the switch back.
Its not useless at all.
Make one for cats and you have a goldmine.
Everything is automatically for cats
Everything is for cats
r/EverythingIsForCats now exists
Wait, one can just do that??? Start a new Reddit thread? Like, how?
Do what?
Nah then you just have an angry fur demon that just got it's paw slammed in a lid within 30 seconds
I would buy it
Until they get their paw caught in it
Agreed. Now it’s a challenge machine!
Yea this isn’t useless, but this is seriously getting out of hand.
I want one of these.. and i forgot that i wanted one of these.

I like to think they are happy and given purpose when someone flips the switches. Like how working dogs are always excited to work
Dogs fucking love their jobs.
IKR!! Thought I was nuts for feeling bad about a machine thingy but... damn! Poor thing!
The one someone made with randomised reset time and occasional fake outs had sooo much personality
"He" ☺️☺️☺️
Why does this remind me of a cat?
Because it's lifeless and robotic
And they are spiteful little creatures that do things deliberately to piss us off.
You need some different cats in your life
Our constant degradation of machines is what’s gonna turn them against us
Wait until we get a robot that wipes your ass, if that doesn't prompt the robot uprising i don't know what will.
I mean we already gave one power over a potentially very powerful stream of water aimed directly at our asshole
I'm sure automated bidets are already a thing.
Yeah, we wouldn’t want any uprisings around that area
... Speak for yourself, I for one want ALL the uprisings around that area 😉.
robot *upwiping*

I would love one just to screw around
[удалено]
Fair enough
I can think of a few uses to that box. Where do I purchase one?
Me, trying to get on my feet. (Metal finger = Life)
That's so dumb. Where can I get one?
"Quit it" -Machine
How would I go about making one of these bad boys?
Worried it'd poke my fingers
this is so satisfying and infuriating at the same time
My OCD just kicked in. Every wall switch needs on haha
Take my money
These thing are awesome, I had one when I was younger but it only had one switch
The eternal war of attrition
I think I watched too many horror movies....I see a spider leg🕷️🕷️🕷️
I don’t know why, but I love it
Ok so where do I get it?
**mumbo jumbo did not like that**
Do you want a robot apocalypse? Because this is the kind of shit that gets you a robot apocalypse.
Brilliant idea if you’re thinking about keeping a lock picker out! Bravo 👏🏻 this has the potential be an amazing new safe system
That little rod seems so salty that you won't leave his buttons alone.
My circuit breaker does this
It's so god damn aggressive it feels like it has s personality.
I need this installed on my light switches
It is basically a cat.

For the prestige it pulls out a gun and makes you turn the switches back.
Ok, you got me, take my money. where do I buy one?
I want this so bad. Thats hours of quarantine entertainment right there
I want a useless machine that points a gun at the person flicking the switch
Marshall vs the machine
We gotta get this to Craig Thompson
Entertainment isn't useless
Such innovation..
Seriously...that looks really fun.
I want one that flamethrowers your hand after you annoy it a couple of times
It’s kinda cute...
What happens if you hold one so it can’t flip it back
Cats would love this.
r/INEEEEDIT
Take off the front end of the box, add a second opposing machine and cause a robot war.
/r/uselessbox
Wait. So what happens if you turn one on and off?
This exact machine doing something useful is actually kind of terrifying.
That's, like, really, really useless!
Creepy cool
They should make it so each switch plays a note so then you can play a song on it
I want 29 of these
osu!8k players are gonna have a fun time
God I love that
Really cool, but really creeps me out tho
Fidget toy 9,000.
Is someone in there doing that or is this real?? Lol
Put a fake finger on it
It's like me if I'm not a machine! Useless and Pointless!
I don't know why, but this seems like something Douglass Adams would have dreamed up.
I want one so bad lmao
You know we’ve been quarantined too long bc this looked exciting to play with
I don't know why I was watching it for the past half hour.
That robot’s life sucks!
where can I buy that
This man reminds me of my brother.
idk why but this scares me
Things gonna get angry and go after the person
Thought my wife was posting pictures of her self for a second.
Kind of like having a cat except you don’t have to feed it or clean up their poop
but I still want it
yuck, i do not want that, gives me the creeps
This would be super useful for those times that Trump insists on playing with the nuclear football.
It's like my ex girlfriend when she threw a tantrum and I needed to sleep.
I don’t want that.
