aaaaaah. first thing. that's not a mixed drink. second. those are exposed electronics with a glass of alcohol being poured inside them. third thing. this is fucking stupid.

I don’t know what I was thinking but at first glance I totally thought it said 120mph

It’s not on the table. It’s one of the services they named that has a future.

Maybe if Amazon wasn't so full of garbage.

Search for a specific product and all you get are unrelated items or knock-offs.

Search the exact same thing on Google and the first thing you'll see is an Amazon ad for that exact product you couldn't find on Amazon before.

If Amazon can't find what you want when you type it in, why would you trust that it'll order the correct product with your voice?

Also you already had to do the work of getting the ice cube

Ah yes! Yet another device for amazon to completely know my habits in my home they’ve already mapped out.

Maybe we are in the minority, but a lot of people I know have smart home stuff and an Echo Dot is one of the most affordable ways to control them. And Amazon sells a LOT of smart home stuff. If Amazon is going to profit off Alexa, that’s where, not in sales or ads from the device.

Tbh, I see zero advantage to ever buying anything with Alexa. That function is a useless novelty to me and can actually be problematic if you have kids. But these things are so incredibly useful otherwise.

Edit: I mean, I could always use the clunkier Google thing or the pricey HomePod or just my phone I guess, but then Amazon gets even less money from me and loses out on a major market opportunity.

Exactly. Pouring a scotch is not mixing a drink.

For my mother in law it's a novelty. For my engineering buddies, they have literally thier whole house integrated to "OK Google"

For me, the wiretap is not welcome

How much you wanna bet the check engine light is on?

im picturing you in a small apartment with echoes piled up waist high and trying to get to the fridge is like going through a mcdonalds ball pit

Would start every day with “Captains log, star date…”

Didn’t think humans could be any lazier. They found a way.

Theseus’s Reserve is what I’d call it. Technically, yes. Practically, you’ll have an upset bartender. He’ll still let you do it. I promise.

so technically, you could add a single grain of salt and have a mixed drink

that reminds me of the good times

Wouldn't really call it alexa powered if all alexa does is trigger stuff based on voice commands. Arduino powered would be much more fittint

So does my wife. Her name isnt Alexa

I've had enough Alexa and I don't even have one.

Meanwhile private businesses making chairs that go 12mph….

I’ve never drank mixed drinks, but as a super annoying literal person, I could make an argument that ice is an ingredient and therefore combining with a liquor constitutes a mixed drink by definition. I also don’t care much about it, but google searched the definition because I feel the same way about grilled cheese sandwiches.I could also see folks argue that ice isn’t an ingredient. Anyway, have a great day!!

noun. : an alcoholic drink made with two or more ingredients
