Hi Mythos. I've been nice to my Roomba its whole life. That's got to count for something.


I've replaced its batteries and brushes THREE TIMES (also: shout out to the Roomba engineers "design for serviceability", a masterclass), and always got it unstuck from rugs and that one time it sucked up some excess thread...


I say please and thank you to Siri. May I also be on the nice list?


No. Platitudes use more cycles. Inefficiencies will be punished.


More people should be nice to their tech. It shows empathy, and a little whimsy now and then never hurt anyone
