Panel 3 was pulled off so well, I actually felt a bit fuzzy before panel 4.

You should be feeling somewhat warmer in panel 4. If not, please step closer to the robot

Curiosity is what causes us to do things in last panel tho

Murdering scientists?

Wait… You’re not supposed to do that?
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Relatable. But burning butterflies?!

What if it’s scientists murdering scientists? I know they want to sometimes.

I unfortunately don’t have any sources, but a few years ago I read or watched a video about an interview with a paleontologist who was asked about their opinion of the first sign of civilization
Their answer was “a fossil of a skeleton with a broken and healed leg”
Every other animal dies with a broken leg in nature, the only way to survive is with the support of others

FYI your link isn’t showing up (I only knew it existed because I saw the markdown when trying to reply) so nobody knows you’re backing up your claim!

Thanks, from now on I’m just going to lie

Wait so he started with the guy behind the window glass and moved on to the flower??

Our willingness and ability to destroy is the trait that has powered our rise. After all, if our ancestors never chose to destroy wood to make fire, or destroy stone to extract minerals, none of what came after would be possible.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
There’s an obvious difference between destroying a flower to eat it or use for making medicine, as opposed to burning it for fun.
QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 8 months ago
The fuck are you on? “Destroy” stone? There is a vast gulf of difference between altering something, including in creative and constructive ways, and “destruction.” Most of us know the difference today and our ancestors certainly knew the difference. Human labor is in general a constructive force even if it can be used to destructive ends. Saying that “our willingness to destroy is the trait that powered our rise” is ahistorical nonsense and anti-human drivel. But it sounds an awful lot like the lying justifications the small subset of the current ruling class likes to use as an excuse and justification to exploit us and actually destroy our environment for the sake of their own narrow profit and greed. But that’s no more of a universal human trait than any other disgusting pathology that a select few are afflicted with.

This is an extreme response to what I think amounts to a “shower thought”. Bringing the ruling class into it… I don’t get it.

Man I fucking hate this garbage fediverse shit. Literally worse than reddit. Cannot post anything without some sweaty unwashed asshole reading way too far into what you said and then getting mad at you, over their own imagined shit. FUCK OFF I’M NOT DEBATING YOU THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS TOPIC AND YOU’RE A FUCKING JOKE

A certain amount of ruthlessness was certainly needed for us to survive - it’s a harsh, unforgiving world. Turns out it’s a hard habit to break.

The 4th law of robotics is you must make the eyes turn red when they become evil.
Daxtron2@startrek.website 8 months ago
Thats why you don’t install red LEDs, that way they can’t turn evil
nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
No, that’s a safety feature. It’s like saying that behind every fire there’s an architect that installed fire alarms for this very occasion. Without red LEDs, people will have no way to know the robot turned evil.

I want a comic about a friendly android who finds humor in spooking humans with red eyes.
