    If you intentionally turn on your sprinklers as a deterrent, and it does damage to a person or property, you’d be liable for that.

    What if someone had important papers that you ruined. Or you broke their non-waterproof phone? What if someone was stepping off the sidewalk to let a wheelchair pass and you just doused them and the person in the wheelchair?

    What if your automated sprinkler starts spraying the EMTs or Firefighters coming to help you cause you fell in your bathroom and can’t get up? What if it shorts out the Lifepack they were going to use to check your heart and deliver an AED shock, and now someone died?

    Automated booby traps are always bad because you can’t judge the intent of the person, or animal, that might trigger it.








  • Starship Troopers had the highest survival rate, so that one.

    Absolutely not The Thing because you have no idea if escaping means the end of the world. You’d have to murder suicide the whole place.

    Aliens… Maybe. It’s survivable, but just barely. You’d probably want to hold a live grenade with the pin pulled the whole time, so you’d at least never have to be brought back to the queen.
