We wanted flying cars, instead we got goat rentals. :D

At least we're on our way towards Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

And Goat Simulators.

This is a real thing, large companies including bay area tech companies use them to graze lawns instead of just mowing. There was even a Shark Tank pitch.

I was aware of that, I just hadn't thought that Amazon would start selling this sort of service.

Ah, agreed. It is strange for mainstream, not sure it's worth it to get an average house lawn chewed down by goats.

And you don't get nutrients out of the soil (in the form of grass) that you take somewhere else. It's a good thing, and goats are cool (if they can't go near your car and eat parts of it.)

Simply there to grab publicity. Someone in marketing this heard the word 'viral' and read about Goat Simulator and something clicked.

I don't quite get all the cynicism.

It can also eat down your shrubbery.

> Is there anything they can't sell?

Sports physio treatments?

It will be the first of April in two days' time, mind...
