It's meant for war. Today it folds your clothes, tomorrow it plants mines and shoots at you on a battlefield.

So is a pasta factory. Today it rolls and forms macaroni, tomorrow it makes bullets. Have you ever wondered why rigatoni are so wide? That's why.

The pasta factory analogy is hilarious, get an upvote. Is it something from the WWII?

		No, not really. The macaroni are formed by squeezing the dough through the openings, while the cartridge cases are made by stretching small metallic disks into cylindrical shape (and then stamping the bottom to make it flat and have a proper rim), so it's impossible to repurpose the pasta-forming machines into the casing-making ones. But it is an urban legend of sorts, along with "baby strollers with chain tracks instead of wheels", and shows how little most of us know about industrial manufacturing.

Seems overly complicated for that task (planting mines / shooting) when kamikaze drones are cheap and mass produced.

What?

There's already a better system today: mine launchers (remote minelaying system)
