Killing Hedgehogs

New Zealand has a problem, they brought hedgehogs into their country to rid themselves of bad insects. This is all good but the hedgehogs are eating eggs of endangered birds, which is bad. Now the people of New Zealand have to go on a Sonic killing spee to ensure these rare birds survivial. The main lesson? Stop trying to control nature! You tamper with what's meant to be and 90% percent of the time it'll come back and bite you in ass.

If they hadnt brought the things over in the first place there wouldnt be a problem. In the end you just have to choose, which ones worth saving?

The birds?

Or the cute baby hedgehogs?

Towel Folding Robot

As I skimmed the BBC website I found a headline that particularly jumped out at me, “Towel-folding robot created by US researchers”.

I read it again… What? Are we really so lazy that we can’t fold our own towels? Then I thought of my bedroom, unfolded clothes scattered about my makeshift floor-shelf haunted the back of my mind. I could clean it if I wanted to. I just don’t want to.

That’s the thing, nobody wants to, I’ve only met a miniscule amount of people who enjoy cleaning and most of them are self centered brats or neat freaks. However, even if I lay my head in sea of clothing every night, I’m still against this bot. I’m not against it because it encourages a sloth like mentality of laziness.

I’m against it because “US Researchers” should have something better to do than discover ways civilization can avoid folding towels. I want to explore space, explore the sea, meet aliens, and discover new life forms.

I’m bored, watching all these adventures happen on TV while having a robot fold my laundry just isn’t enough for me anymore. Maybe if they would stop focusing on selfish pleasures, or if the population as a whole would stop paying them to do so, we would have something to do.

We could actually have an excuse for not folding our towels, because we were too busy going out and living life to the fullest, instead of sitting and watching the television or fighting fake aliens on a video game. Come on researchers, lets get rid of scifi and do it for real.
