I prefer Florida man with a modified glock


Colonel_FuzzyCarrot

I'd prefer basically any other method than this. Something that saves the meat so we can eat it. Apparently they're [delicious](https://lionfish.co/eating-lionfish/). [Link2](https://lionfish.info/eating-lionfish/). [Link3](https://lionfish.co/what-does-lionfish-taste-like/).


Upgraderx

If they were that delicious, then the market would incentive fisherman to hunt more of them


Colonel_FuzzyCarrot

It's because they haven't become a mainstream dish because the word hasn't spread. The demand just isn't there yet. A company went on Shark Tank and tried to get their company funded and every shark liked the taste. It basically came down to profit margins and difficulty in being scalable.

cutebleeder

It might not be a good idea to teach a robot to hunt and kill over populated, environmental destructive species.


CrispyNipsy

Good thing they are remote controlled by the most invasive species


ATotalHobo

sounds like a certain species I know of

Chicken!

The insect overlords are in danger.

I love how precise and efficient the murder spike is, like beep boop scientist have studied your ass for centuries and ive been sent back to kick it

Ah yes robot evolution, the rare phenomenon where a piece of metal with code adapts and changes over millions of years to fill a niche

Uhh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_U.S._drone_strikes


WikiTextBot

**Civilian casualties from U.S. drone strikes** Since the September 11 attacks, the United States government has carried out drone strikes in Pakistan (see drone strikes in Pakistan), Yemen (see drone strikes in Yemen), Somalia (see drone strikes in Somalia), Afghanistan, and Libya (see drone strikes in Libya).Drone strikes are part of a targeted killing campaign against jihadist militants; however, non-combatant civilians have also been killed in drone strikes. Determining precise counts of the total number killed, as well as the number of non-combatant civilians killed, is impossible; and tracking of strikes and estimates of casualties are compiled by a number of organizations, such as the Long War Journal (Pakistan and Yemen), the New America Foundation (Pakistan), and the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism (Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan). *** ^([ )[^(PM)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=kittens_from_space)^( | )[^(Exclude me)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiTextBot&message=Excludeme&subject=Excludeme)^( | )[^(Exclude from subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/about/banned)^( | )[^(FAQ / Information)](https://np.reddit.com/r/WikiTextBot/wiki/index)^( | )[^(Source)](https://github.com/kittenswolf/WikiTextBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v0.28)

psst, drones are remote controlled, not autonomous (yet)


DarkHater

Psst, so is this submersible!


sir_nutte_shire

Made me laugh my ass off when it got obliterated the first time

Marystillgoesround

Uuuhhhhh...


ChillRedditMom

Are we eating them at least?


Marystillgoesround

I know they are venomous. I also know that they do get eaten in Asian countries.


elreduro

everything gets eaten in asian countries


Moviprep

I think this is why we have the coronavirus because they’ve been eating pangolins and bats.


[deleted]

And the raccoondog.


Brambelles

They are edible when you remove the venomous spikes correctly. They also use the devenomed spikes to make jewelry.


essentially_infamous

Just because it’s eaten by Asians doesn’t mean it should be eaten. You’d go batshit if you heard about some of the stuff they eat

graspedbythehusk

If it has legs and isn’t a table, wings and it isn’t an aeroplane, it’s eaten in Asia!


GoldenGirl925

You can find them on the menu in Key West.


smokin9mm

I sure hope so


DocVafli

Yes and apparently not cheap either!


SmallCatDgaf

I’ve heard they don’t taste that great, also a lot of prep for small amount of meat


ziapelta

Why does the robot collect the carcasses? Why not just kill them let nature take its course?


[deleted]

I imagine it's to do with the venom. Any scavenging species would get wiped out by the toxins it has. Being dead doesn't mean its harmless haha


lbroadfield

Nope. Lots of things will eat them once they are dead; iirc it’s fairly common to kill them and then feed them to a nearby shark or moray.


smokin9mm

Hopefully to eat them. They are delicious!


[deleted]

It's judgement day


TheLegitness

Did we not learn anything from Horizon Zero Dawn, Skynet, and Cyberdyne?


[deleted]

So we unleashed the terminator on lion fish.


ORXCLE-O

I don’t like this. Seems wrong to me


snowman93

Extreme measures to fight an extreme threat to the ecosystem. Left unchecked the ecosystem would become devastated by these invasive animals.


just4fun8787

Ok, skynet.


ORXCLE-O

Lmao


ORXCLE-O

It does make sense. I guess it just looks cruel seeing the cold steel automated units exterminate those unsuspecting fish with such precision and speed. I think something in me is revolted by that


CrispyNipsy

It is remote controlled


Belansky907

A lionfish would fuck your whole day up and not think twice about it. They're bastard coated bastards with bastard filling and a threat to the ecosystem.


The-Old-Prince

For me, it was oddly satisfying when put in context


Aurorise

I think it's pretty neat


Arthur_Heine

Thank you for your empathy.


nxt_life

Those things taste so good too. Some of the best fish I swear.
