I like Chinas drone delivery model, you can look up videos of it online.

This one? youtu.be/zjye0WHh8m0

Bartsbigbugbag,

Yep that’s the one I saw there I think. Drone goes into a little kiosk and then you pick it up from the claim window thing.

I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.

It looks like they are trying to compete with fedex on how much damage they can do to your package.

BRB, loading my shotgun with birdshot.

Hm I need a shotgun.

sfera,

A water gun will also do it. You can even order one from Amazon…

ealoe,

Damaging an aircraft is a serious felony, and you don’t own the airspace above your house so you legally can’t interfere with them. You think the people at Amazon haven’t thought about this? That thing will be covered in cameras and microphones, you won’t be able to touch it without being charged.

I thought for sure that this was a joke, or that the gif of the drone sort of…pooping out that package was fake. But I found the same gif on Amazon’s PR website. This has got to be the dumbest possible way to get a package delivered…

jarfil,

If it did it from a bit lower altitude, it wouldn’t be that bad… at least for some AA batteries. And look, the package even landed with the ⬆️⬆️ arrows the right side up! (/jk)

But what does it sound like?

How will it avoid my defensive drone?

If it crashes on my property are it and its contents mine?

onlinepersona,

It shall infringe on your airspace unimpeded. Your corporate overlords demand it and so it shall be.

What if I order volatile explosives? Would they carpet bomb me?

I’m pretty sure the answer is yes

finally, they have automated couriers kicking packages

Amazon says the most popular item ordered for drone delivery in the 'States is AA batteries.

I was expecting condoms or plan B

I would totally eat Laser Avocado Doritos!

KeenFlame, to upliftingnews in Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77

Or buy things without packaging when it is available like for avocados

cordlesslamp, to upliftingnews in Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77

What? You guys wrapping avocado individually in a paper box? Why?

spittingimage,
@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

I dunno. Supermarkets near where I live sell avocados individually out of a big plastic tub under a sign saying AVOCADOS in case you can’t tell by looking.

blackn1ght,

I’ve never seen Tesco sell avocados like this before, normally they’re just loose in a box or something

thesmokingman, to upliftingnews in Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77

I’ve never seen avocados in a box. Is that a common thing outside of the US?

Only when folks don’t believe their dollar spent affects things.

dependencyinjection,

Tesco is in the Uk so I would say so.

Come to Denmark and you’ll be seriously shocked by how much plastic is used for food packaging. It’s insane and I hate it so much.

thesmokingman,

The US has its own share of overly plastic packaging. I have occasionally seen individual vegetables shrinkwrapped. It’s just not the norm.

Feathercrown,

It happens to cucumbers relatively often but other veggies are just so weirdly shaped from a packaging standpoint that I don’t think they see it as worthwhile

eRac,

Cucumbers have much better shelf-life when shrink-wrapped. It ends up a debate of which is worse between food waste and plastic waste.

Feathercrown,

Oh really? I did not know that.

thesmokingman,

That was the one I was thinking of! I knew there was an organic veggie I regularly buy that’s wrapped.

AngryCommieKender,

I saw a pre-peeled orange for sale at a convenience store. It was wrapped in plastic wrap. Like, why‽‽‽ They literally grow their own wrapper…

Num10ck, to upliftingnews in Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77

they could etch an advertisement on them to subsidize the cost.

100_kg_90_de_belin,

Or “you could have bought a house”

HootinNHollerin,

Fuck that
