Can Chainsaw Man team up with Lawnmower Man and do my yard? It's not much, just under an acre, mostly grass with some bushes to trim. I'd do the necessary governmental paperwork, just in case. But I'm hoping they have insurance, you know, just in case....sigh...

I applaud the federal government employee who got this through the many layers of approval typically required for their tweets.

Pity they didn't ask the same questions about 'Gun Woman'.
Oh, right. Second amendment. Never mind.

Here's the plant wielding a machete btw
| Quote: | | This installation enables a live plant to control a machete. plant machete has a control system that reads and utilizes the electrical noises found in a live philodendron. The system uses an open source micro-controller connected to the plant to read varying resistance signals across the plant’s leaves. Using custom software, these signals are mapped in real-time to the movements of the joints of the industrial robot holding a machete. In this way, the movements of the machete are determined based on input from the plant. Essentially the plant is the brain of the robot controlling the machete determining how it swings, jabs, slices and interacts in space. |

You have every right to own and operate a chainsaw for completely lawful purposes. Heck, you could even use one for self-defense. What would be cheaper by then? The price of gas, or bullets? In any case, the government bureaucrat is worried about your safety, so remember to carefully read the manual they provided.

I think using one for self defence would invalidate your warranty...

Guess they are going to ban the Evil Dead franchise for improper and dangerous use of chain saws too.

Bro no one is trying to censor anything. They're just having fun.
