The death of hitchBOT: not a national tragedy

Little could make Canadians look more haughty and self-important than turning the destruction of a hitchhiking robot into a low-level international incident.

Sir I believe you completely missed the point of hitchbot, because the point of him and his mission was to show human kindness by traveling completely dependent on it and some unholy monsters of human trash decided to destroy him, and just call him a late model iPhone you monster

it was a robot to help with kindness and that was his mission and you guys screwed it up

I just find it REALLY funny that they took terminator too seriously and Canada to a non living literally just some random stuff put together to look cute whines that said thing was “murdered” even though it isn’t even remotely alive. It’s like crying cuz a calculator or a balloon is destroyed. I like to think the destroyers wanted to stop sky net or something. But seriously calm down people it was literally a object. I mean become vegan if you are that sensitive because at least animals have some degree of being alive hitch bot felt nothing it felt no pain no happiness no anger no nothing it had no thoughts it was literally just code and some electronics attaching human feelings to something that isn’t even alive to begin with doesn’t make sense. And the creators didn’t even seem to care that he got destroyed because honestly what do you expect when you hitchhike I mean seriously it’s known for being super dangerous and it’s not like hitchbot was a real person
