Well, that's one hobby we'll stay away from.

We always want to encourage people to follow their passions here at Animal Comedy. If your dream is to dance with your doggo on America's Got Talent, then we say more power to you. If your goal is to become the world's most loved animal chiropractor, you got this! But if your dream is to turn your already scary robot "dog" into a battle machine for your pet rabbit, well, maybe skip that one. We've seen this episode of Black Mirror, and let's just say it didn't end well for humanity.

The mechanism is made from converting a Go2 robot “dog” from Unitree to a transportation system and adding a cockpit with speakers and a mounted prop that we're not allowed to talk about here. Let's just say that it looks slightly alarming, and we're glad that the architect clarified that it didn't work. The bunny sits safely inside the transparent bubble while moving through crowds and across different terrains.

It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, and we can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing. Sure, he gets a 10/10 for creativity and spectacle, but we just have one question to ask: why? All that time and energy spent on one video to go viral on social media, and we feel that this is a micro-example of the state of the world today.

People have been trained to do things for performative reasons, without substance or meaning. As long as it gets views online, it's worth something. And while we love the creativity it has sparked in people, it has also created a world where we must document everything, we must turn our passions into careers, and carefully curate our lives to look like perfection. Will this “invention” have any lasting impact on the world, or will we all forget about it by tomorrow morning, only to be replaced by a new spectacle that will take up our feeds?

The answer seems quite obvious to us, but we'll leave the critical thinking up to you. And don't get us wrong, we think this is hilarious. But is this really where we want to future of humanity to go? Wouldn't we be better off spending time solving the bigger problems that are of a more immediate concern than “how will my pet rabbit defend itself against a potential alien invasion?"
