Robot vacuum designers are limited to using only the "o" vowel. That's just the way it is.

It's like carcinization, all robot vacuum names eventually become "voov"

It's called OOMWOO in all caps dude. My idea is, call it literally anything else. Also I'm getting one

Lumisal beat you to it, sorry buddy

parent

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 child)

If that way the case, in keeping with open source tradition, it should be the Uwumba

The name apparently is a rotational ambigram. I would have sworn it was a transdimensional mammogram

parent

That's actually pretty cool once you know about it.

Something much better like eufy? Or roomba?

I think it's a law that robot vacuums must be named something silly.

parent

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

I have no objections. If it doesn't connect to the wider internet, could be cool
