Today I learned that when it comes to drones, don’t fuck with Finland.
Some Finnish farmers thought it’d be fun to attach a chainsaw to a drone and let it roam free. It’s the kind of nightmare that would make Leatherface proud if he got to messing around with new-age toys.

Cringe and sink into your seat as it beheads unsuspecting snowmen.
But ultimately, Killer Drone falls prey to no other than a couple of harmless balloons. It seems the farmers set the balloon up as a trap in case the drone flew too far in the snow conditions, but watching it caught then fall from the sky isn’t any less relieving.
Combine this with the real-life, terrifying ScarJo robot someone built yesterday and we’ve got a robot dystopian flick nobody asked for. Lesson learned: don’t piss off Finnish farmers.
