Imagine all that effort put into catching someone smashing a stupid camera, it could’ve been used on a pedophile or something.

You’ve been warned, they’re high on the lookout for Flock vandals now.

      Okay, but seriously, who has enough rust just sitting around to make that shit? You’re like the third person I’ve seen talk about thermite, and that shit is ridiculous to make.

      Then you have to go through all the trouble of somehow igniting the thermite and getting it away from your drone…

      The same can really be said for a can of spray paint. I want to see someone actually design that shit before I’d believe it’s possible. Maybe someone with a lot of tinkering time, but not the majority of us just trying to buy parts from a hobby store.

      Drone with a water balloon full of paint. Aim for the solar panel.

      Block the panel, the batteries don’t charge, the camera doesn’t work.

      What about a satellite with an array of nuclear weapons? Thermite is such overkill, and risks harming the surroundings.

          Why not just build a star-destroyer drone and aim it at the sun? Then Flock can’t just wait it out and rebuild.

            That’s a good point, but what if some remnant of humanity survives and rebuilds on another planet, and one of the survivors remembers having seen a flock camera? We should destroy all matter in the universe. Or find some way to accelerate heat death?

              For the latter, could I suggest building a very large fridge and putting the universe inside it? We can attach it to a drone if that helps.
