The Greatest Technological Advance In Our Lifetimes Is Now Live


"It was an unlikely place for a media frenzy: inside the non-descript conference rooms of a building in central Berlin. But this weekend, members of the local and international press corps jostled and elbowed to get closer to the star of this particular show. Film crews fought for the best vantage point, photographers held their cameras aloft to get the best shots and reporters scribbled furiously in their notebooks. The big — and slightly unlikely — deal? The world's first döner-kebab robot."

It works! And no black holes yet! So awesome.

Best Peruvian rap video I have ever seen.

Good to see the Turkish space program is paying dividends

Don't let it near my meat.

Let's be serious for a moment here. A döner-kebab robot that caused a black hole would be twice as awesome. At least.

I expect to see the robot in an Melissa Lafsky column.

That music sounds like one of those bands in Times Square with those wooden pan-flutes, or Union Square Subway stop WAY TOO EARLY in my commute.

When did they start letting a band or violinist or whatnot take up every bit of space in the subway system? Some are good, but still, it gets on my nerves. I remember back in the day when the subway was a COMPLETE FUCKING DISASTER IN EVERY WAY, accept I don't think there was all this music stuff. (I feel better now that that's off my chest.)

I want that soundtrack.

Look at those fancy-schmancy döner eaters, with their plates and forks and identifiable vegetables. Bah! Jam that stuff in a pita, slop on the goop, and start walking. It's döner time!

Until it learns to live-tweet each bite for me, it's bullshit.

The logic behind this seems to be to keep Donerci sweat off your meat. Save that shit for Europe. A real doner is steeped in the stink of the prole wielding a giant knife in 100 degree heat.

And people wonder why North Americans are becoming obese. Where's the robot that crams it down your fucking maw?

"The idea of the doener cutting robot goes back about five years."

Yeah, about FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST MORE LIKE!

"Achtung!" The machine is German. Why, of course it's German. You couldn't trust anyone except the people who invented Opel with machinery as imperative to the future of the national cuisine as the automatic doner cutter.
