Dont forget “Meatbag”, because Star Wars the Old Republic didn’t.

HK-47 is one of the best RPG companions of all time.

I concur. We are concurrent.

I know we are not monkeys and are closer related to apes.
I know monkey has been used as a racial slur.
That said, I think if used holistically towards the entire species, and I do myself included, Monkey ticks all the right boxes because it immediately cuts down our species’ unearned God complex about being somehow above just another animal mutation.
We crow about our vocal chords. We crow about our opposable thumbs. But really, our species should just go down as monkeys/apes with a runaway ego mutation, nothing more.

Even better, we are apes.

Proves my theory that if aliens landed we have a racial slur for them within minutes of them arriving. Are humans just prone to racism?

ET? Do they imagine robots basking in the sun to gather heat?

I really like it as well, it conveys the purity of the blessed machine, and the impermanence of the fleshbags.

I mean, I could see there being solar powered robots. So, kind of, yeah.
Shareni@programming.dev 5 hours ago
I mean unless they’re using solar powered steam engines, it still doesn’t make sense. Also, they need perfectly efficient internals (conductors etc.) to be exothermal.

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

The number of times I find myself using that quote is a lot higher than you’d expect.

I have an old bandmate saved in my phone as meat popsicle, but i can’t remember why.

- Gasbags: Even when doing nothing else, humans are constantly sucking in and pushing out air.
- Slow rotting meat: As opposed to steaks which rot in a day, humans take a few decades to rot, but to a robot which might live for millennia, it’s about the same
- Wet Brains: Unlike a robot, our brains are wet, mushy things.
- Sleepers: How weird must it be to see a lifeform that spends 1/3 of its short existence unconscious.
But, I can also imagine words of admiration from robots for things humans can do that they can’t, for example:
- self-fixers: When a robot part breaks it needs to be repaired. With a lot of injuries, humans just have to wait and the body repairs itself. That would seem pretty magical.
- puzzlers: Humans are capable of lateral thinking in a way robots aren’t. Humans can use analogies to things they do understand, and can reason about things in the physical world.
- stinkers: Could be an insult because of humans pooping, pissing, sweating, etc. But it could also be a play on “instinct”, somehow magically making a good guess about what to do in a new situation that’s outside their “programming”.
- leaders: Robots are good at responding to inputs, but they don’t actually have any motivation themselves. If eventually there’s a robot that’s capable of thinking and wondering, it might wonder what it’s like to do something, not because someone asked, but because you wanted to do it.

Meatbag is a classic
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours ago
Probably the biggest difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So… shitsack, pissbag, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn’t do that, and it is also very literally accurate.

“Oxy” is great because it also doubles with the word association “moron” so we’re subconsciously berated as well.

Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine?
*In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well. *
I do love GLadOS, but she doesn’t hold even half a candle to SHODAN.

Pretty sure that HK-47 called humans meatbags.
