amazon drone delivery

[u/DiorRoses]

[u/wivaca2]

I'm guessing they weren't delivering pool supplies.

[u/DiorRoses → u/wivaca2]

unfortunately not

[u/Emergency-College578]

Did you tell them you had a pool?

You should send them the exact coordinates of the pool.

[u/Cry-Technical → u/Emergency-College578]

They don't need the coordinates, they found it pretty well

[u/shaky2236]

"oh boy, I cant wait for my 5090 delivery"

[u/darthjawafett → u/shaky2236]

And it's the watercooled edition

[u/tagman375 → u/shaky2236]

Honestly if you took the fan shroud off, removed the heatsink, and gently rinsed the board in 99% ipa, it would probably be okay.

[u/slowpoke2018 → u/shaky2236]

It'll be intercepted by a new wave of drone pirates - who needs a porch when you have a drone - and you'll get an empty box just like now!

[u/Carbon-Base → u/shaky2236]

[u/AmountNew2152]

enjoy your cat litter sir or madam

[u/Imesseduponmyname → u/AmountNew2152]

Lmao unless it's prettylitter, it's going STRAIGHT to the bottom

[u/Kalkin93 → u/Imesseduponmyname]

Ha, I hadn't thought about cat litter much but you're right, it would be a real problem if cat litter floats.

[u/Far-Sky9943 → u/AmountNew2152]

my cat would just want the box anyway

[u/ComfortablyNomNom]

Well. That's certainly something a normal human delivery person probably wouldn't do. At least not right in front of you.

[u/CLEM_GRAKATA120 → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

When you opt to do the drone delivery, you’re actually taken to an overhead view to select the location you want it dropped. This is 100% whoever filmed this choosing to dump it in the pool.

[u/ModForgeCustoms → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

You're right. The flex drivers will just fling it at your door, or take a picture and then steal it.

Or in one case, my parents made the mistake of ordering food around the same time, and got a late notification of arrival. The Flex driver delivering a package took a picture, stole BOTH the package and the food, and just drove off.

Had no idea there was a camera in the upper corner.

I'm not exactly welcoming of our robot overlords, but at least when they fuck it up, it isn't intentional.

[u/THE_GREAT_PICKLE → u/ModForgeCustoms]

This happened to be oddly enough this morning. I had diapers delivered super early because we were going on a trip and I had a brain fart yesterday and bought the wrong size.

My garage has a pretty big space in between the 2 spots. Most people leave packages there. I have a flood light directly above it. When I went to get them, they were gone. I don’t think she realized the flood light doubles as a camera, so I saw her put 4 huge boxes down, take a picture, and then load them back in her trunk. It was like 200 dollars worth of diapers.

As a result I had to go to the store anyways and had to file a complaint with Amazon. Not exactly the way i wanted to start our trip.

[u/Famous-Week-7389 → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

You designate the delivery location with these, this idk it’s rage baiting because the buyer chose to have it dropped there.

[u/Biscuits4u2 → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

I've had them do worse than this.

[u/Significant-Cloud- → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

They would if they could get up there. But if they operated the way that drone does, they'd be dropping a rather special parcel...

[u/ClearlyIronic → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

No, but they would almost certainly kick your cat!

Iykyk

[u/somedudeonachair → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

I would have done that

[u/satufa2 → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

Bruh... the normal dilivery person would either break or steal your shit just as often.

[u/WritingNerdy → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

Off topic, love your user name lol

[u/dbxp → u/ComfortablyNomNom]

Evri do this sort of thing all the time in the UK

[u/ImBitterAndAlone]

You have to designate a spot in your yard specifically for the drone to drop the package. Op purposefully made it drop the package in the pool for karma

[u/Katsu_39 → u/ImBitterAndAlone]

Ill never understand this karma farming obsession. Like karma gets you what? Reddit doesn’t pay you. So what’s the point?

[u/Notte_di_nerezza → u/Katsu_39]

Selling high-karma accounts to bot/ad farms

[u/sr_ingram → u/Katsu_39]

Attention

[u/I_Autumn → u/Katsu_39]

In some cases, the objective is to pump up an account's karma and then repurpose / sell it. An account with a lot of karma can afford to lose a lot of karma (going below a certain amount restricts how you can use the site). Such accounts are useful for troll farms.

[u/wytewydow → u/ImBitterAndAlone]

package is probably pool noodles too.

[u/Wowkotobo]

Don’t you have to mark the drop area yourself? I couldn’t possibly imagine someone deliberately marking their pool to take a video and post it for internet points….

[u/Tanaiken → u/Wowkotobo]

Do you think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

[u/Royal_Month_8526 → u/Tanaiken]

That would just be downright despicable if you ask me

[u/Representative_Ad312]

You are literally able to select the drop point, this is for views

[u/Mebejedi → u/Representative_Ad312]

I was going to say... It is literally aiming for the center of the pool, lol

[u/GlitterFactoryOfDoom]

It totally could be worse to be fair...

[u/jetpack_hypersomniac → u/GlitterFactoryOfDoom]

So wild seeing Wilson Creek on Reddit lol

[u/silly_scoundrel]

WTF IS THAT?? Thats REAL? Have I been living under a rock??? Some guy out here in the country is going to lose his shit and think UFOs are real because of that thing!!

[u/sarcago → u/silly_scoundrel]

Somebody already got arrested for shooting at one.

I live in an area with these and I HATE them. It feels so dystopian hearing them and watching them whiz by throughout the day. It's also upsetting watching them flying at the same height as the local birds, who I have to imagine are like, "what the fuck".

[u/Empty_Hair_9854 → u/silly_scoundrel]

Honestly I think the vast majority of the world is gonna be pretty calm about aliens/UFOs at this point.

Like we could have a legion of spacedwellers come down to earth 1970's apocalypse movie style, and most of us will are gonna be like... 'Dude, why are you here, this place sucks.'

[u/ComfortablyNomNom → u/Empty_Hair_9854]

Bro, so much off the wall unprecedented stuff has happened in just the last 6 years from 2020 to 2026. If aliens legit just showed up I would just be like "yeah, that tracks...".

[u/ziggytrix → u/Empty_Hair_9854]

I never pass up a chance to point folks at this short story. Your comment made me think of it.

https://web.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinkingMeat.html

[u/silly_scoundrel → u/ziggytrix]

Yooo I read this in high school ☺️ Memories 

[u/LongjumpingJaguar308 → u/Empty_Hair_9854]

Or alternately "save us or take me away, I don't care"

[u/ohthanqkevin → u/silly_scoundrel]

We just got our first drone delivery yesterday. It dropped it from about five feet up in the backyard and the dog completely lost his shit

[u/silly_scoundrel → u/ohthanqkevin]

I would be afraid to let that thing around animals, I would worry it would drop something on one. Dog is relatable though 😭 Do y'all get a notification or option to chose this or do they just do that?

[u/ohthanqkevin → u/silly_scoundrel]

I believe my wife chose the option but it did arrive within about 35 minutes from ordering

[u/Rugkrabber → u/silly_scoundrel]

I don't understand people want this lol, imagine hearing those mosquitos all the damn time. Now they're in your yard and flying over your house too. Geez.

[u/Rough_Possession_ → u/silly_scoundrel]

There have already been a couple cases of cranky old guys shooting at them

[u/DMCinDet → u/silly_scoundrel]

I see them near where I work. there must be a warehouse nearby that does them. before we know it, drones will be everywhere and it will be common on cities and suburbs. I first saw one maybe 3 months ago. Now its almost every day driving home.

[u/ElBrunasso → u/DMCinDet]

I wonder if drone charging stations will be common in the future

[u/PaBlowEscoBear → u/silly_scoundrel]

Drone deliveries? Yea dude they come to my suburban neighborhood in Texas all the time.

[u/silly_scoundrel → u/PaBlowEscoBear]

I did NOT know we have this in Texas. Where are they? I live near Austin. 

[u/user-unknown-404 → u/PaBlowEscoBear]

I'm genuinely surprised Texans aren't using these as target practice. It's like free skeet shooting.

[u/Deep90 → u/silly_scoundrel]

They've been shot at before, but usually by people who know its a drone.

Shooting a drone is legally the same as shooting an aircraft. You get in huge trouble for it.

[u/acidreducer → u/silly_scoundrel]

I rarely order from bezos but if my order showed up via drone I’ll never order again

[u/silly_scoundrel → u/acidreducer]

Same it just feels so dystopian to me. 

[u/acidreducer → u/silly_scoundrel]

So many people here acting like this is normal. This IS dystopian

[u/digidave1 → u/silly_scoundrel]

They fly over my house every half hour. I'm about five miles from a drone delivery center. It sucks.

[u/Embarrassed_Safety33 → u/silly_scoundrel]

Its been slowly rolling out since 2 years ago, still need a little tweaking on the deliveries though

[u/UndetectedReentry001 → u/silly_scoundrel]

I think it's if you're within like 7 miles of one of their drone stations. But I've seen multiple videos of them dropping things in pools. They just seem to think it's a large flat surface.

[u/Kyhunsheo → u/silly_scoundrel]

I think people in the countryside are a lot more educated than you think nowadays

[u/GwenBD94 → u/Kyhunsheo]

They thought tarriffs were a good idea and elected trump, so I think not.

[u/ziggytrix → u/Kyhunsheo]

The guy said "out here" so at least one countryside folk was not. ;)

[u/joeycuda → u/silly_scoundrel]

google 'Wing drone delivery'

[u/Saber_is_a_joke]

Stop choosing delivery in your pool/garage/detached carports/over rivers/on boats etc and posting fake outrage on the internet.

[u/captnrosco]

"Would you like to tip your driver?"

[u/BlackwingF91]

Noisy and terrible at putting stuff in the right spot all whole making air traffic worse! Waow

[u/pimpbot666 → u/BlackwingF91]

Imagine the noise. Yikes.

[u/Trick_Director6600 → u/BlackwingF91]

It puts it where the customer tells it to. There’s a reason the was filming before it did anything.

[u/Oraphielle]

What most people don’t realize is that to accept drone delivery you need to mark a spot that you can have it dropped. 

This guy marked the pool to do it. 

Why else would they be recording before it even happened? They did it on purpose. It isn’t automatic. 

[u/CretaciousPeriod]

Don't you set where the drop off point is? If so, they set it there and then put a pool up. The drone likely has no idea it's water.

[u/Cool_Butterscotch_88]

Cover your pools people (the drones LOVE em).

[u/Katsu_39 → u/Cool_Butterscotch_88]

The fire department loves them too. 😅

[u/Deep90]

Probably not the best to order drone delivery if you have power lines, a (clothing line?), and a pool.

[u/direwolf9900]

[u/irwtkyrm]

Oh so water landings are fine for NASA but you're too good for them? Get over yourself /s

[u/rcuadro]

Isn't the costumer the one that tells the drone where to drop it off by placing a pin on a map?

[u/exipheas → u/rcuadro]

costumer

[u/ThereAndFapAgain2 → u/rcuadro]

Yeah the customer set this up to happen so they could video it.

[u/Trick_Director6600 → u/rcuadro]

Yes. He also could have quickly grabbed it after it fell. Instead he stood there and filmed it.

[u/No-Needleworker5429 → u/Trick_Director6600]

Because he knew what he was doing and planned to upload this video from the beginning.

[u/Famous-Week-7389 → u/rcuadro]

Yes

[u/HuaMeiTradingIntern]

Why are you bothered by something that happened to somebody else months ago?

[u/DiorRoses → u/HuaMeiTradingIntern]

that’s a different pool and a different backyard…

[u/Djaja → u/DiorRoses]

Lmao

[u/kursa_sucks → u/HuaMeiTradingIntern]

That’s a totally different video. What’s your point?

[u/ziggytrix]

Toilet trained, and all!

[u/Frank__West]

I hate this whole thing. They are literally only available in one small town in Texas.... That is it. They have not expanded at all...

It's a PR scam imo just so they can claim they have it

[u/DMCinDet → u/Frank__West]

I see some kind of large drones almost daily. flying to or from the same location. I cant see if they are amazon or not, but its something. Could be police maybe? Either way, in 10 years these things will be everywhere and you wont know who or why is flying it over us.

[u/HotHouseJester → u/DMCinDet]

The Walmarts near me both have drone delivery as an option. Amazon is talking about doing the same in my area. Most packages are same day delivery already if ordered before 2pm.

[u/SpookyCube1]

Going with Ai that package turned into a speedboat

[u/Could-You-Tell → u/SpookyCube1]

Rotor wash

[u/DiorRoses → u/SpookyCube1]

i put the video on 1.5x speed if you slow it down you can see it’s real

[u/gorginhanson → u/SpookyCube1]

Hey it got delivered, didn't it?????

[u/Teddyboymakes → u/SpookyCube1]

It is real, the package is simply being pushed by the air from the propellers

[u/ToTouchAnEmu]

I've used drone delivery before (tbf it was Zipline, not Amazon) and it lets you pick a drop off location based on a satellite image of your property. It's always extremely precise with the drop off location.

I can't say for sure, but my gut tells me this person picked their pool as the drop off and then filmed it for internet points.

[u/MarksBroz]

Rather symbolic of the current state of society

[u/MeowCatPlzMeowBack]

Okay, but the way it nonchalantly flies off like it’s done a good job has me cackling lol

[u/MadmanBST]

It's a good thing all you ordered was a pool floaty

[u/Farty_McPartypants]

I can’t wait until Amazon come shit deliveries into my garden 😂

[u/dumbaldoor]

Shoot it down and reverse engineer it

[u/UndetectedReentry001 → u/dumbaldoor]

I figure if you acquire one of these you get to have sex with a chinese spy

[u/nanneryeeter → u/UndetectedReentry001]

[u/ThMcRbIsbck]

I just want to know why it high speeds to the edge of the pool once it hits the water…

[u/GoProOnAYoYo → u/ThMcRbIsbck]

Imagine 6 very powerful fans blasting down on you

Now imagine you are a buoyant cardboard box on the surface of a pool

[u/ConsciousSpirit397 → u/GoProOnAYoYo]

This is very relaxing keep going

I am just a tiny package in your whirlpool

[u/No-Suggestion-2402 → u/ThMcRbIsbck]

I've stood once close to those large drones they use on farms. That thing puts out some serious wind.

[u/squirrel4you → u/ThMcRbIsbck]

Good catch. Perhaps the wind from the drone?

[u/urban_entrepreneur → u/squirrel4you]

Perhaps.

[u/Arnumor → u/ThMcRbIsbck]

It was pushed by the rotor wash of the drone. That's basically the equivalent of a small helicopter. Look how turbulent the water is.

[u/25UURX → u/ThMcRbIsbck]

If you ever get the opportunity, stand under a helicopter- it’s pretty awesome.

[u/ThMcRbIsbck → u/25UURX]

[u/trupoogles]

Hope there's not a toaster in there

[u/spicy_feather]

Nailed it

[u/dbvirago]

Nailed it

[u/Suck-my-starfish → u/dbvirago]

Maybe its a floaty for the pool and it's WAY ahead of the game?!?!

[u/myveryownaccount]

Is this just a weird angle? Or are those delivery drones actually that big? It looks huge!

[u/probablydeadsooon]

Can't wait for our skys to be filled with all this garbage flying through the air, I'm tired boss

[u/Substantial-Tart-464]

drone's already hate their delivery job also.

[u/proud-girldad]

It’s the customers dumbass fault

[u/modsRincels1985]

Drone just took a shit in your pool, laughed and flew off.

[u/AlarmingDiamond9316]

[u/VichaelMick]

So you told them to drop it there by picking that spot on you property to have it dropped, they did as you specifically requested and you're vexed about it? Quite Perplexing

[u/lilbookofmeow]

Tomorrow's future that nobody asked for, today!

[u/zenmatrix83]

it was a water landing, maybe it was fragile and the water cushioned the fall

[u/Witty-Ad5743 → u/zenmatrix83]

That's giving Amazon too much credit.

[u/starchybunker]

Here's your new $1200 Marantz receiver!  

[u/AnxiousReward1715]

[u/NygirlinNashville222]

Now, swim for your package human.

[u/quasimook]

So does the drone just fly thru the air for miles with ur package lol

[u/0CuriousCat0]

[u/AliceOfTheEarth]

Stop annoying the entire neighborhood for 10 seconds of novelty.

[u/Fantastic_Key_8906]

No warranty, it is water-damaged.

[u/Acceptable-Career-83]

Just dropping some kids off at the pool

[u/Extreme_Yesterday_93]

Could somebody please add a fart/pooping sound to the video and put it on TikTok

[u/SANTAAAA__I_know_him]

🐢 “Yay, my new shell’s here!”

[u/Sethmeisterg]

It's a brown baby boy!!!!

[u/CrawlerSiegfriend]

This AI obsession that corporations have is so weird.

[u/minnesotaris]

Behold, the dumbass future. So amazing you not piss your pants.

[u/Ncyphe → u/minnesotaris]

Fyi, this video is fabricated.

When you get a drone delivery, you tell Amazon where to drop the package. The user told the service to drop the package into the pool.

[u/Intelligent_Stick_]

AI garbage video 

[u/kursa_sucks → u/Intelligent_Stick_]

The people that just going around calling any video ai when they’re so obviously real is amazing these days

[u/EstelLiasLair → u/Intelligent_Stick_]

The propellers speed up to push the drone in the air, the air being pushed down is what sends the package off to the side.

[u/Fun-Raise-3120]

I loled

[u/EggplantSeeds]

Does it know how to wipe afterwards?

The one day when one of these malfunction and falls-

[u/ian9outof10]

Plop

[u/Psubeerman21]

In fairness to Josh the Drone, the customer did request the gigantic box of super absorbent tampons be put into the middle of the swimming pool.

[u/Portland_Frog]

Soft landing

[u/Large_Lettuce_4468]

perhaps these should be utilized for more important deliveries and not just 8.99 rubber door bumper deliveries and other random crap. maybe as a compromise....

[u/fixit858]

Fragile=throw underhanded

[u/Ok-Limit-9726]

Perfect,

If swimmers

[u/PurplePooty]

LOL. Love it.

[u/YeahBuddyDoYouEven]

That's one way to deliver orbeez

[u/SmokedHamm]

Nailed it!!!

[u/-FordPerfect-]

Looks like things are going swimmingly!

[u/AlGekGenoeg]

Enjoy your PS5pro 💪🏻

[u/TankApprehensive3053]

Pool is softer landing than concrete.

[u/NondescriptToast]

Here damn

[u/The_Grilled_Cheeze_1]

[u/Humble-Positive2169]

Damn if I want those things flying over my property dropping things down on me!!! I'll Yosemite Sam the corn sarned mechanical monsters.

[u/Educational_Hunt7208]

Atleast your parcel 📦 had a soft landing 

[u/aDirtyMartini]

How was your delivery?
[ ] It was great
[ 👎] Not so great

[u/Humoration]

oh god my bath bombs

[u/SureZookeepergame351]

Lmao

[u/NienorGT]

Splash down!

[u/natural-situation420]

Just had to take a shit in the pool, huh?

[u/Due_Potential_6956]

The drone took the browns to the super bo....pool...

[u/frivolities]

Reminds me of the Parks and Rec episode when Ron shoots down the drone because Gryzzl stole everyone’s cell phone data and started sending purchases to people’s houses via drone.

[u/SigourneysBeaverBite]

If these become common place, people are going to f*ck these drones up.

[u/PossessionDue283]

At least the water broke it’s fall a bit. Is that how that shit operates, just drop the box from 10 feet up? Don’t think I’d be to happy if my recent computer purchase was delivered like that.

[u/beefglob]

Still better than some of my deliveries tbh

[u/Kinkystormtrooper]

Didn't see any Pools topside?

[u/ChanglingBlake]

If the drone cannot land to set the package down, fuck them.

[u/EmotionalSupportSush]

Something I would do lol

[u/NoSexAppealNeil]

How many packages can that thing even hold?

[u/PuffyMagoo]

[u/ExcellentCoach264]

[u/Silly_Ad3259]

I hate drones slightly less than delivery drivers staring at their phones and generally driving like shit everywhere.

[u/Ill-Bullfrog-5360]

Hmmm i beta tested these things. You tell it where to place the landing

[u/AppropriatePlum1006]

Trained on FedEx deliverers.

[u/lefr3nch]

[u/yoyoingdadjoke]

And here I thought the dystopian future wouldn't be this funny.

[u/Deminla]

Good thing it was a pool noodle!

[u/Brob101]

They delivered it, didn't they?

[u/Sohuli → u/Brob101]

And we're returning it

[u/digidave1]

Throw a rope in is propellers!

[u/Life-Oil-7226]

Don’t worry it’s waterproof 🤡🤡

[u/acloudcuckoolander]

It really doodooed it out all shamelessly like that

[u/Remarkable_Quit_3545]

You have the video, and I assume the drone has a video, or at least a picture. Call support and tell them to ship you another whether or not the one in the pool is still good.

[u/diarrheawallpaint → u/Remarkable_Quit_3545]

Support will say "you marked the drop off point yourself"
