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

    I was expecting condoms or plan B

    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…

      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?

        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.
