Pizza delivery robot? Yes, Please!

Pizza delivery robot? Yes, Please!


That's right, pizza being delivered to your door, by a robot.




Domino's Australia, who is a independent chain from U.S Dominos, has developed a pizza delivering, self-driving robot. The company unveiled this new development on Thursday at an event in Brisbane. 

DRU, also known as Domino's Robotic Unit, is the name for this four wheeled machine. DRU relies on GPS for navigation and has the capability of diverging objects that may be in the way. This delivering dynamo can reach a top speed of 12 mph. The distance of how far DRU can reach is still in the works. DRU was developed by Marathon Targets, a start up robotics training company. "We are proud to also be part of this world-first innovation in pizza-delivery technology," Marathon stated.

Don't get too excited though, DRU is only a prototype. Dominos is also known to dabble in new ways of technology to excite their customers. So for now we must wait for DRU. Until then, we can enjoy our friendly delivery men who don't mind seeing us when we look like we just got out of bed.

Need to breakup? We've got covered.

Need to breakup? We've got it covered.

As we are departing from Valentine's Day, and the season where it just makes sense to have a certain someone, we are faced with a dilemma. How do we cut off the ties and break the persons heart that we'd been spending countless hours watching Netflix and chilling with? Well, we have a solution to this problematic situation.



There are apps and websites that get people together into a relationship and now, there is a website that will even breakup with your significant other for you. Canadian brothers, Mackenzie and Evan Keast, will happily break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend for you for just a small price to pay. Ten dollars will get you a breakup text and a whopping $29 will get you a breakup phone call. Wow! What a deal! Now if you're really wanting to end things quickly, don't worry, they have a rush service for you! So now you don't have to go through the hardest part of a relationship, you can just spend that extra cash and have the Breakup Shop do it for you.


While most may think that this is insane and heartless; the brothers feel that this is just a new way to do life. "Are we the bad guys? No, we're not," article. To some millennia’s this is a new innovation that will be the next big thing, nowadays, so many young people meet online now they can breakup online. Evan Keast stated "People say boo-hoo about 'Oh, my God, I can't believe you'd have somebody break up with somebody for you.' I know there's people in marriages that have people serve papers, and they never talk to their divorcees ever again,"

The company was founded upon one of the brother’s heartbreak. Apparently, a girl "ghosted" him and he felt that there should be a end to this. So they felt that if they created a service that eliminated the actual breaking up then there would be no reason to "ghost" someone.

So if breaking up doesn't sound like a fun thing to do, lucky for you, the Breakup Brothers will cut the ties for you! Sending a text or calling someone is so hard now a day, could you imagine having to do it to someone’s face, with this new service breakups just got a lot easier!
