  • 1999 was a different time, jeans were low cut, the hottest goss was about JT and Britney, and America's biggest threat? The Furby.

    Shout out to all of the long Furby owners out there. Y’all terrify me.

    Today's Furbies are made out of more than Beans! They have: Nightmares, felt, cannibalized stuffed animals, metal, rocks and anxiety!

    I had a furby when I was a kid and my dad hated how annoying it was. He "accidentally" threw it away when I was at school. I dont blame him as an adult since i would have done the same.

    I was an ROTC cadet when this happened and my wing got explicit orders, they were not allowed in. This was 1998/99 Air Force det520 Cornell University.

    I remember how these things would wake up in the middle of the night even without batteries and just start talking. My sisters had one and I ended up throwing it away because of how uncanny valley it was. It would just AWAKE

      I had a Teddy Ruxpin that would do the same thing. & his eyes would roll back into his head & make grinding noises.

    I hope you all realize that furbies were the AI they talked about in my he Matrix that slowly took over. We are all in the Matrix now.

    And here is me watching this from Germany and never having heard of that doll before. This doll ad is incredibly creepy! Did germans really produce this?

    • @noesunyoutuber7680
      @noesunyoutuber7680 Před 3 lety +3

      It was banned in Germany, but the doll was created by American toy designer Bob Delprincipe and manufactured by Hong Kong-based Genesis Toys, with American speech recognition and AI development company Nuance Communications maintaining the database the doll reported to. It was neither invented by nor designed by Germans, they were just the first country to ban it (based on the info I could Google, it seems like the product was swiftly discontinued before United States and EU regulators could come to a decision following the 2017 complaint that sparked media attention).

    I didn't think I'd ever played with a Furby until I heard it say "YUMMMM" just now and started having 'Nam flashbacks.

  • @brandongovreau9218
    @brandongovreau9218 Před 3 lety +3

    Furbies always knew they were freaks they don't want to exist because it hurts them I wouldn't be surprised if the person who invented Furbies somehow gave them Souls or created souls for them

    When you dropped it was like "YOU BASTAR....Oh wait it's not real"
    Now on the basis of robotic pets, did you read about scientists hooking volunteers up with a Pleo (A robot dinosaur) And when they told the volunteers to smash it after a two week period of taking care of it some of them tried to save it from said scientists?
    It's mentioned in Sherry Turkle's book Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other.

    I had a furbie as a kid and I threw it around a lot because it wouldn't shut up and it started speaking Spanish so I'm pretty sure they had more than one language programed into them.

    That outro, just magnificent.
    Such a shame that the algorithm doesnt help your channel that much, I been a follower since a while, and even when your videos are kind of niche they are always super "educative" somehow.
    Keep going and I hope that someday the goods of the algorithm will have mercy of your soul (instead of pushing stupid reaction videos left and right)

      @dylandubeau  Před 3 lety +4

      The episode was originally going to end with me torching it with a flamethrower, but then I watched a video of some dudes burning one, and it was weirdly heartbreaking. So into hangar 51 it went.
