Employees are getting so expensive, they're replaced with robot mushrooms? Didn't see that on my 2024 bingo card.

But it will happen, or at least be attempted if the technology gets there. You just wait for it.

Ah.... No more mushrooms for vegetarians or vegans then? Mushrooms are sentient now

Same, tbh
