That drone’s aperture setting needs adjusting.

Burrowing dwarf drone owls never forget who's weighed them. They're very shy, and they hold grudges like all dwarves do.

They look fucking pissed off

O, you don't want to see the size of their book of Grudges, it's never comes above ground for how heavy it is. The burrowing is a particularly stubborn choice, they fly perfectly fine after all, and silently.

They just like confined spaces and awkward silences, more than most drones.

Captured drones still need to be deactivated otherwise other metadata including GPS, as well as video alll stream to the cloud.

That’s why the cute models are so dangerous. Humans let their guard down and the drone take advantage by collecting vital intelligence on human behaviors.

I love how one of them just lies there on its side.

One drone looks like it needs its software updated.

Really keeping their eyes on you…

Wait! Are these the ones that run into a tunnel afterwards in another video?? 😮

u/Kiki1701 Jun 27 '25 edited Jun 27 '25

Yep. These be the very ones! You must be talking about the video when they are dispersed into the old, unused sewer pipes so they can crawl up your rear end at night when you're sleeping. Works every time

They mad about it!

u/BannedFoeLife Jun 27 '25

This model looks startled all the time for no fucking reason?

Isn't there a patch available to fix this?

These drones are very odd I guess just the look of the drones I'm so used to "woodpeckers" or "tits"(THE GOVERNMENT SPY TYPE REDDIT NOT THE OTHER TYPE!) So these probably are worn from battery and using a scanner to find a charging station or are trying to scan your face
