I just need a robot bending unit for all the gurters I have laying around

It would just get lazy, drink all your booze, and tell you to bite his shiny robot ass.

I dream of an absurd day when ROBO-ICE comes to haul off my robot housecleaner for being an illegal import.

Jokes on them though, I will never afford another house. It will actually be another robot who owns the house. And that robot will likely be my boss. I'll be retiring under an overpass near 7th and Pershing.

And by retiring, I mean dying.

Hmm, a fine choice of overpass. Good weather in LA!

At the point of cooperative organization, we will finally take action as a society. Not because of the threat of violence. No, because of the threat of unionization.

All you'd have to do is hijack the home robot, to simply hand you over the subscription-based slop

For real haha

We already have robotic peeping Toms, so yeah, robotic house burglars tracks.

I mean, Kara robbed a convenience store. I get it. Tough times in the future.

Showerthoughts

40145 readers
1550 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
