I bloody love Alexa

[tellmewhenthespaceshiplands]

Christmas gift for DD10 but wish I'd got myself one! Currently playing songs from 1995 and reminiscing! Happy New Year you crazy Batshit MNers.

Oooh getting a bit dancey now ... Dario G Sunshime anyone?

Whigfield, Saturday Night? 😂

i love mine, will only really use it when drunk tho for music

What exactly does it do?

Mine has died and I'm devastated. Have tried everything in the dummy book about Alexa. Can I send it back? Bought in August.

I've seen on other threads about it that some people are convinced that Alexa is a spy but I don't think so.
I never even had the chance to ask her to fart before she broke

Chips you may be onto something !

We had Whigfield earlier. DD was frankly horrified.

Alexa farts? I got an echo dot for free from BT after they’d left me with a dodgy landline for months saying it wasn’t their fault (it was). I’m loving the radio stations, the quizzes and the Mishi twilight tales

@Zoflorabore - use the chat on amazon to talk to a customer service rep - they may offer you a discounted one. They have a vested interested in people having them as you order from amazon via them. They've given me decent discounts off kindles before.

Alexa farts?!!! She's literally an electronic party! Zoflora (love your username btw!) Amazon are pretty good with returns could be worth a shot?

I want one but I've heard it listens to everything and I'm a bit scared of them ???

Ask her to miaow like a cat. Also to open the magic door.

Oh yes - DH's favourite thing.

Ask
"Alexa, pull my finger"
and she will make a farting sound. And occasionally tell you to check yourself.

We’ve had her making cat noises this evening (thanks DS) and our cat is endlessly entertained/curious about her as a result.

My own personal favourite is when you ask her to make a hamster noise...

They do listen to everything, or it wouldn't hear you say Alexa

Ask her to make a giraffe noise. I’ve always wanted to know what sound they make.

Of course they listen. They're always listening out for the wake word. So is your phone/tablet. They wouldn't hear much of any interest in my house so I'm not vastly bothered by it.

My ds plays hide and seek with her and asks for pictures of different animals. His particular favourite being lizards.
She can listen all she likes in our house, i hope the random and constant chat of a 4 and 2 yr old amuses her!
