2015国外互联网之最盘点

While unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones) are used for all kinds of things their makers probably didn’t envision — including delivering holiday mistletoe, with sometimes disastrous consequences — it was the combination of a drone, a flamethrower, and a turkey on a spit that captures this year’s award. UAV hacker Austin Haughwout used this combo to cook his family’s Thanksgiving bird in hisConnecticutbackyard last month. We’re betting there weren’t many leftovers.

无人机的用途现在早已超出发明者的设计初衷——比如在假日投递槲寄生，闹出了不少笑话。而摘得今年“无人机最奇葩用途”桂冠的当属“无人机+喷火器+火鸡烤架”组合。今年11月，在美国康涅狄格州，无人机黑客奥斯丁·霍沃特就用这个组合在自家后院烤起了感恩节火鸡。我敢打赌这顿没剩饭。

We love ya, T-Swift; we’d love you even more if you pulled an Adele and stepped out of the spotlight for a couple of years, just so we have time to finish going through all your Instagram photos.
