Parents really are the worst.

Ah, so even the dead aren’t allowed to rest under the king. Yippie 😂

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

But what is the king going to do, hurt the skeleton?

[-] MTLion3@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I mean, maybe he feels pain. Guess we’ll just have to turn you into a skeleton to find out 👀

"Whats he gonna do if i don't pay? Kill me again?"

"THEN PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!"

"i don't have blood. I'm a skeleton."

"ohh."

"then you shall pay with your Bones" Breaks rib off and hands it over " Here a doctor from Germany told me ribs grow back"

This raises an interesting question, do you think when AI are able to function as true AI do you think we will tax them as citizens?

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That’s basically the plot of Short Circuit 2…

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

That was one of the two movies I've ever walked out of.

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Not going to blame you.

Ah, that was 300.

[-] userflairoptional@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago

What was the other?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

I loved it but in my defense I was 5 and there was a robot.

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Doubt it, at most I think they’ll be treated like animals.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Some people have been discussing that, although it's not at the forefront.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

No, they will tax us instead.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 years ago

The skeleton must've deserved his pension by now

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

If you don’t need to eat you don’t need to work. Go and be spooky, good skeleton.

[-] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

While that may be true. Back in those days taxes worked differently, and I don't think it was always based on a percentage of your income.

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

What are they going to do, kill him?

Thanks!
... although the links point to a different comic. The correct ones are:

I didn't find it on twitter, but I didn't spend too much time.

[-] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

I didn't realize you were linking to the individual Comic page. Sorry.
