Tumblr Thread: Roombas Are Beautiful Beings


It's weird. Humans have this ingrained proclivity to attach themselves to the most unexpected objects. Like, for instance, a Roomba. You never know. You find that Roomba cleaning up your perfect mess and suddenly you're infatuated with this beautiful piece of technology.

Text - "Yup. Don't leave your humans unsupervised." "I'l uh, take that under advisement." "Seriously. Get a supply of safe animals for the humans to bond with or they will make their own.
