#Smart Clean Robot Market

[conspiracy-frog]

This is dumb but I kept thinking as I was sketching stan that these two are literally this meme and you all don't know how tempted I have been

Now all I think about is stan making an ad about something going like " Nothing matters anyway life sucks buy the smart cleaning robot! No it's not smart because it cleans but it makes pathetic noises when you hit it. And look at it its like a sad ugly dog perfect for your sad loser life ! Become a parent now you have nothing else to spend your money on anyway. On the market only for 69.99 not including sales tax . And the best part ? You cannot refund it dad!!" and Bill possessing Ford while Ford is still awake or some shit and forcing him to watch telemarketing at 2 in the morning when these ads keep playing like a form of mental torture

Ford buys a roomba that's it that's the post .

[milkyfederation]

In the human sector of the Milky Federation, if you can't afford the Rand Conglomerate's robots, you might have to go with another cheaper option.

For example, Cyclo Robotics. They may not have the best in the market, but their products are afforable, durable and easily fixable and modifiable.

Here's a bunch of examples.

The green eyed little one is a walking security system. They accidentally made them smart enough to be considered a person with rights under the MF's law, so they are no longer manufactured.

The blue eyed one is a simple cleaning unit. (Aia's head is made of off this model).

The big orange eyed one is a strong robot that acts as a draft "animal" by many workers.

The little red eyed one is a security camera. They walk around to spot any intruders.

Orange and red eye are very old designs of mine I'm still very proud of. I think these are all good designs but man do I have 0 idea of geometry and perspective.

[cracks back]

so @artastic-friend gave me some ideas

Since Music Man is canonically not made by Fazbear Entertainment, what if the company that made her made all sorts of other arachnid robots - Music Man being the trendsetter and personifying the entirety of the Arachnida class and having a bunch of other robots representing the other orders? Instead of a pizzeria or an animatronic band like Fazbear, instead they come from a robotics company that does have a restaurant but it's much less marketed for children and is a more adult-friendly place and has a bar and stuff. I got most of my inspo from Shinjuku's Robot Restaurant, partially because of the doctored screenshot that DJMM comes from japan but also because this looks dope and fits the rave vibe that DJMM portrays

The robots do serve the purpose enterainment but they do have a practical purposes like cleaning, bartending, cooking, construction and transport, security, providing medical help and even hunting down pests like rats and roaches. The showcases are not just for entertainment but are also showcases for potential buyers, as all the robots are on auction, but they are all extremely expensive at the moment on account of their versatility, size, and intelligence, as the animatronics, after showcases, actually freely roam the restaurant and directly talk to people and are general party hosts.

DJMM is obvi Aranae, but in the lore for this I imagine he not only has the most resemblance to Music Man, but he's also second oldest, which in this case meant he was made before they became extremely valuable, both of these factors leading to him being auctioned to Fazbear Entertainment. The company that created him is currently working on a new DJMM, which has led to him being very resentful, not just because he's replaced but also there's this copy of him that's going to be having the time of his life at a crazy robot rave restaurant everyday. I'd be pissed too if I was still stuck in the Chuck E Cheese That's Famous For Child Murder And Also Killed My Mom💔

I need to draw all 12 extant orders but I do have these 3 - the represantative for Uropygi, the order where vinegaroons are from, who i made cat-themed mostly because of a joke I made that these are the last catboys of spider nation on account of their tail. I don't have a name for the Uropygi bot, though I did have the ideas of Catman and Confetti Cat. I feel like I can do better. He actually takes up the job of DJMM as a janitor and a party host, but as of currently there is still no DJ. Yet.

There is also the representative for Amblypygi, the mime and the "Dazzle King." They feature no speakers anywhere on their body and is completely silent, and both mimes and actually helps with construction projects out of the restaurant!

peep the grabber

And we have Schizomida, or the kinglets/split kings. (the "kings" refer to the "scorpionlike" arachnids and "queens" refer to the "spiderlike" arachnids. therefore DJMM is a qween💅)

In the case of this au(?) the windups were not prototypes but were made with the purpose of being, like, robot pikmin, and Fazbear Entertainment bought all of those guys out, so Spider Robotics (no idea if thats gonna be the name) made the kinglets, who are in much higher quantity but have devolved in quality, as there are mainly so many of them because they keep breaking and are not very smart. They provide surveillance, alert staff of any emergencies or any information that needs to be known, and... also hunt down and kill pests. No mousetraps, they send a horde of Kinglets on mice. It's brutal.

also there will be a Bighand redesign soon, the idea for which provided by @artastic-friend. I wanted to draw it but i didn't have time but stay tuned 😈

The Hidden Cost of Convenience: How Your Smart Devices Are Mapping Your Life

In an era where smart devices have become ubiquitous in our homes, a disturbing reality lurks beneath their convenient features. Is that robot vacuum diligently cleaning your floors? It's creating detailed 3D maps of your home. The biometric scanner at your local grocery store? It's collecting more than just payment data. These revelations come from data privacy experts Aram Senriq and Jesse Gilbert, authors of "The Secret Life of Data," who warn that our digital footprints are far more extensive – and permanent – than most people realize. "Data isn't really an object so much as it's a frame of mind," explains Senriq. "You can take any aspect of the human experience and reduce it to a set of numbers that has value for somebody somewhere." Take Amazon's Roomba, for instance. While marketed as a simple vacuum cleaner, its LIDAR sensors create comprehensive 3D maps of your home's interior, tracking everything from furniture placement to the number of residents and pets. According to Gilbert, this data has value far beyond improving cleaning efficiency. "The vacuuming function is why we invite them into our homes, but it's not the value for Amazon," he notes. This detailed spatial data helps build sophisticated consumer profiles that can be packaged and sold to third parties – or potentially accessed by government agencies without a warrant. The implications extend beyond individual privacy concerns. Amazon's acquisition of One Medical and its collection of biometric data through Whole Foods' palm-scanning payment system creates an unprecedented intersection of consumer behavior and health data. "Correlating your shopping habits with your medical risk factors... are very consequential and very high stakes," Gilbert warns. Even more troubling is how today's innocent data collection could have tomorrow's unforeseen consequences. The authors point to a stark example: during the decades when abortion was legal nationwide, millions of Americans used Google Maps to locate healthcare clinics. Post-Roe v. Wade, that same location data could potentially be used as evidence in criminal proceedings in states where abortion is now illegal. So what can consumers do? While completely opting out of digital services isn't realistic for most people, the authors suggest a three-pronged approach: - Support federal data privacy legislation - Take practical steps like using VPNs to encrypt personal data - Foster a culture of privacy awareness and normalized protective behaviors The message is clear: We need to move beyond the "nothing to hide" mindset and recognize that all data, like DNA, exists as part of an interconnected web that can reveal far more about us—and those connected to us—than we might imagine. As our homes and lives become increasingly connected, the question isn't just about what data we're willing to share today, but how that data might be used tomorrow. The convenience of smart devices comes with a price tag we're only beginning to understand. Read the full article

Have one yourself, weirdo. 6: "You make every day worth living." ScottMarsh.

If there had ever been one constant presence in Brooke’s life, it had been the great crushing pressure of expectations. For as far back as she had memories, she could remember expectations being heaped upon her. At first it had been a challenge, a joy even. She’d learned to read a full year before her classmates. While her classmates were struggling with long division she could answer the questions in no time at all. She was smart, she was clever, and she was capable. It ought to have brought her praise and approval. Instead it only increased what had been expected of her.

Her parent’s dreams, and they were always her parent’s dreams, had ballooned from engineer to doctor, from family musician to concert pianist, and from diligent daughter to future breadwinner and retirement plan. So it was all the way through middle and high school that Brooke did not have a single moment to simply rest. Her days were an endless cavalcade of school, clubs, and after school activities. Piano lessons, taekwondo, and robotics camps. She wasn’t even able to get in much ‘normal’ TV. If it wasn’t educational, honing her mind and her body, it was a waste of her time, according to her parents.

So Brooke had started wasting time everywhere else she could. She didn’t spend lunches hanging out with friends, which quickly meant she had no friends, instead she sat in library’s computer lab. The school’s security was trivial enough to blow through, and from there the world was her oyster. She devoured the video games the computers hardware could handle, which meant mostly games from before the advent of the CD-ROM, and whatever shows and movies she could pirate.

What little life she had turned into retro video games, anime, and classic movies. Her parents scoffed, of course, but as long as her grades stayed high, they barely tolerated it as she shifted her wardrobe and collections of knickknack to reflect her new interests.

The pattern had held until she got her acceptance letter to Blackwell Academy. For the first time in a long time, she had been able to breath easy. She would have space, she could pick and choose what to do, she didn’t have to constantly cram every free second of time she had with crap. She could watch movies, play video games, make friends and go out with them, maybe even find a boyfriend.

Things would have gone to plan, if it hadn’t been for one mousy wallflower of a photographer.

Warren had seemed like a dream match. He was, to be blunt, a total nerd, sweet, and into all the same shit that Brooke was. After their first conversation she’d decided that she wanted to date him, because she felt like it was a good idea, but he seemed to only have eyes for the cute, doe eyed girl who still carried around a polaroid camera in the year 2013. At first, Brooke had thought she had been irritated that this Max Caulfield was standing between her and her potential man. But Max seemed to only want Warren has a friend, if that, and before November she was dating some blue haired punk girl, and said punk’s aspiring actress of a girlfriend.

It should have made her happy, her competition had been cleaned out in one fell swoop and she hadn’t had to lift a finger. Warren was firmly on the market, and even started showing interest in her.

But that grinding annoyance still tugged at her. Every time she saw Max with her precious little girlfriends going about their precious little dates and having the time of their lives she felt like she had bathed in poison ivy.

It had taken until after the holidays, and an attempt at second base from Warren, for the reality to sink in.

She hadn’t liked Warren, she never really had. She had liked the idea of him, and how her parents would have reacted to him. He was smart, he was probably going places. No, she had been crushing on Max. That, and she was jealous that Max got to like girls. As far as Brooke’s parents had been concerned, being gay was something White people did. In her family, she was expected to get over whatever her personal feelings might have been, marry some good man for the good of the family, have a good career, and give them good grandchildren.

As it had turned out, she wasn’t the only person with that burden placed upon her.

Kate Marsh had been the last person Brooke had ever expected to be anything other than straight. She wore a cross like a life jacket, she ran an interfaith and abstinence club. She had a picture of Jesus up on the wall of her dorm for fuck’s sake.

But when Brooke had her melt down over it, Kate had been the one to find her sobbing on the roof in the cold December air. She’d confessed to the same things that Brooke had been feeling. Her own feelings for the pretty freckled girl, her jealousy at Max being able to love freely, and the weight of her own parent’s expectations.

Hearing that, just knowing that she wasn’t alone, broke something in Brooke. By the time January rolled into February her and Kate were dating, in secret of course. Those first few months had been the happiest of her young life.

Kate didn’t expect greatness from Brooke, she didn’t expect her to achieve the best marks, to go to an ivy league college, or to make boatloads of money. All she expected from Brooke was for her to be herself. For the first time in a long time, she’d known a semblance of peace.

It hadn’t lasted, they were already bound for separate colleges on other sides of the continent from each other and that couldn’t be changed, so they had made a promise to each other that they should see other people in college, and if they were still single and wanted to after, they could try to make something permanent.

That had been fifteen years ago. Now Brooke had a gold ring around her finger and her last name had a hyphen and a ‘marsh’ appended to the end of it.

And Kate still held the same freeing lack of expectations, even if Brooke had done all those things anyways. They both had, to an extent. Dr. Kate Beverly Marsh-Scott was certainly a mouthful, but Brooke relished saying it. That and she lived for the the looks on people’s faces when Kate had to patiently explain to them that yes, she was in fact Dr. Marsh-Scott, and that Brooke Scott-Marsh was in fact her wife. The speed at which feet were inserted into mouths would have broken the sound barrier, were it possible.

“What’re you smiling about, my love?” Kate gently asked, a feather-light hand touching on Brooke’s forearm as she stood next to her in the kitchen.

“I was just thinking,” Brooke turned to face her beautiful wife, who smiled at her. Those gentle hazel eyes that she could get lost in all day shimmered in the light, “About us. How we got here.”

Kate’s smile brightened as she stepped closer, her other hand moving up to cup Brooke’s cheek before she planted a gentle kiss on her lips. “Those sound like some good thoughts. Any you’d like to share?”

Brooke made a humming noise in the back of her throat, like she wasn’t quite sure if she wanted to share it before grinning and giving Kate a kiss of her own. “Just about how you make life worth living.”

Strategic Selling Starts Here: B2b Marketplace Success Made Simple

If you've ever tried selling in a B2B marketplace, you know the journey from listing your product to sealing the deal isn't always smooth sailing. It’s not just about uploading a product and waiting for magic to happen—it's about crafting a story, building trust, and making strategic moves that guide buyers confidently to the “buy now” button.

Whether you’re selling industrial components, raw materials, or tech solutions, here’s your honest, human-first guide to taking your B2B sales from “just listed” to “just sold.”

Step 1: Know Your Buyer And Speak Their Language

In the B2B world, your buyer isn’t shopping for fun. They have budgets, deadlines, and stakeholders breathing down their necks. They’re looking for reliability, scalability, and long-term value—not flashy marketing jargon.

Before you even list your product, get crystal clear on:

Who your ideal buyer is

What problems they’re trying to solve

What makes your product the right fit

Use that insight to write a listing that feels more like a conversation than a sales pitch. Clear specs? Yes. But also: real-world benefits, easy-to-digest language, and a tone that says, “We get you.”

Step 2: Make Your Listing Work Harder

Your listing is your digital storefront. If it's dull, disorganized, or vague, buyers will bounce before they even get to the price. Here’s how to make it irresistible:

Photos matter—even in B2B. Use clean, clear images that show the product in context when possible.

Titles should be SEO-smart, but not robotic. Think: “Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Valves for Industrial Use – 2” Diameter” instead of “Valve #22001.”

Bullet points beat walls of text. Keep things scannable and easy to read.

Certifications, specs, compliance details? Include them. Trust is built on transparency.

Step 3: Use a Marketplace That Works With You

Not all B2B platforms are created equal. You want a portal that does more than just host your listings—you need one that understands the B2B buying cycle and offers tools to streamline and scale.

Take Pipex.ai, for example. It’s not just another listing site. It’s a full-featured B2B portal that helps sellers like you connect with serious buyers, manage orders efficiently, and get real-time insights that can inform smarter selling. When your platform is built with your business goals in mind, everything—from negotiations to logistics—gets easier.

Step 4: Engage, Don’t Ghost

Here’s where many sellers go silent—and it’s a mistake. After a buyer shows interest, your real job begins. Don’t drop the ball.

Respond quickly to questions. Even a “We’ll get back to you shortly” keeps the conversation alive.

Offer solutions, not just answers. If your product isn’t quite right, suggest a related one that might work better.

Be human. You’re not a bot, and neither is your buyer. Build rapport—it still matters in B2B.

Step 5: Close with Confidence (and Follow Up)

Once you’ve negotiated terms and the buyer says “yes,” it’s time to deliver. Literally. Make sure your logistics game is tight and communication stays clear.

After the sale:

Send a thank-you message.

Ask for feedback.

Let them know about other products they might like.

And don’t stop there. Repeat buyers are the backbone of most successful B2B sellers. A quick check-in a month later could turn one deal into an ongoing relationship.

Bonus Tip: Let Data Be Your Co-Pilot

Most modern B2B marketplaces offer analytics—but are you using them? Track what’s getting clicks, what’s converting, and where buyers are dropping off. Platforms like Pipex.ai make it easy to turn raw data into actionable insights.

Maybe it’s time to rewrite that product description. Or maybe you’ll spot a trend in buyer behavior that lets you upsell with confidence. Either way, data isn’t just numbers—it’s the story your buyers are telling you.

Final Thoughts

Selling in a B2B marketplace isn’t about brute force—it’s about thoughtful strategy, buyer empathy, and using the right tools. From listing to sale, every touchpoint is a chance to show your value and build trust.

So go ahead. Polish that listing, follow up like a pro, and partner with a platform that’s got your back. Selling smarter just got a whole lot easier.
