Silicon Valley tech bro accidentally reinvents the guillotine

San Francisco – A startup is expressing regret today after realizing their groundbreaking smart device is a reinvention of the guillotine.

“I didn’t realize I was inventing the guillotine 20,” said bro and SlicR inventor Jordan from the game room where his company holds press conferences. “If I had, do you think I would have included self- wheels, , and a hydraulic blade mechanism that can wirelessly determine your bank account balance?”

“I was just trying to create a high-tech solution to the age-old problem of slicing a watermelon, using net worth fluctuations.”

Venture capitalists flocked to White’s next-gen smart melon slicer, valuing White’s company, also called SlicR, at over $500 million during the first round of financing.

Almost immediately, a video where prank-star Brad Peters used a prototype of the SlicR to cut his grandmother’s leg in half created instant buzz around what has turned out to be an unstoppable killer of the aristocracy.

“This kind of thing is going to happen when you’re disrupting the status quo,” White said as he walked quickly away from a SlicR which was rejecting his commands to power down.

“It’s the price of innovation,” White added before tripping over a beanbag chair and landing sprawled in front of several SlicRs with glowing red interfaces.

At press time, the new CEO of SlicR had just announced their latest venture, an app they say will end world hunger by letting people trade their cake for bread.
