"That is wrong"

*He's an astrophysicist

[MsRafachannel]

Alexa: Ok, just listen to some metallica then

[hilarioustiktoks]

The old lady’s listening to Metallica made my day 😂

[NubeBuster]

The astrophysicist is completely right, alexa should learn to learn

[mindys]

It would be neat if you could put it in "Senior Mode" where it would listen until it didnt hear anything for at least 6 seconds. Because older people do speak more slowly

[ruzzelladrian]

Those old ladies were jamming with Alexa

[daichan]

Alexa, sell my wife for flowers.


Alexa: Ok added your wife to the shopping cart

[JulsLittleBeirutAnarchy]

Who needs politics? Let's play Metallica!

[barbara-annemcgregor]

Man: This is a long question so let me expl-
Alexa: I can’t answer that

[bowmin]

Run dawg, Fine Bros are around the corner and they're looking for that extra dosh.

[RetroZX]

Yo that astrophysicist is fucking awesome.

[joey]

astrophysicist kicking amazon's ass

[DavidLS]

For an educated man, starting his question by telling Alexa that he was going to ask a long question was kind of dumb.

[Mantrooo]

Do people really not know that the Fine Bros got rid of their ownership of React videos?

[kikisparkle]

The lady in purple with a flower is me in 10 years 😂

[masonwendland]

They started for whom the bell tolls by Metallica lol that’s awesome

"When are we going to have peace in the world?"
" Oh I think it only answers simple questions"
"Not to me it's not complicated"

[vandeolkon]

My Alexa went crazy while I was listening to this...haha
