Can it tell jokes?

Talk out loud about a subject or object you never had any interest in before and see how long it takes to get ads about it on your web browser. Apparently it doesn't take very long, should be the same day or next.

Whip out your dick and ask it for deeding advice

Crap I'm gonna get a bunch of weird ads about my kid's toys and those stupid fingerlings, we got one of every color and scalped a few of them because they're the hot item.

Basically what I do with it is anytime I go on a loud long paranoid political rant, I end it by looking over at the device and saying "Did you get all that, you fucks?!"

Just got one too, must have been on sale...

My Android has a lot of the same capabilities. I use it to give me reminders of things, set timers, that sort of thing. Also you can set shortcuts for things like turning on a set of lights, or playing a certain playlist.

@ClunkerSlim ask it to talk dirty to you or to drop a beat. If you have an Android phone you should be able to do the same thing. It's pretty funny. Also, tell it you love her.

So my niece opened this thing last night and we played with it for about an hour straight. Lol. Sometimes there was a delay in answering or it would hang up. But overall its pretty cool. Apparently you need YouTube Red to cast some stuff to the tv and a subscription to google play music to hear a specific song. That was kind of a bummer. The games it plays are fun but mad libs was pretty lame.

You can upload your own music library to the Google Play Music cloud and it should be able to play your music that way. That's what I spent last night doing with mine.

"OK Google, who is the fairest of them all?"

I got one of these for really cheap. Still hasn't arrived but I'm excited despite privacy concerns.

Right now, it's $29 at Walmart with a free $25 Walmart coupon to use through Google Express (same as Walmart, but not all items available, better for groceries and movies). But if you're a new Google Express customer, you can also buy it through that and use 2CQQZU4JG for $10 off.

Basically paid $19, and got $25 of free stuff as well as the Home Mini.

You can ask it to play via Spotify or Pandora instead of google music.

Ask it to: flip a coin, roll a dice, where's my phone, what does a cat sound like, what's the weather like, make a timer, cast show from Netflix to (Chromecast)
