Bug.
The original bug was a moth in computer-relays.
Humans are squishy like bug, and behave semi-unpredictably like bug. Therefore, bug.

Ironically, I think the original bug would fall under the category of a glitch because it would have been a hardware failure, rather than a software issue.

No, it wasn’t, but it’s a commonly repeated mistake.

Meatsacks, or meatbags.

Dirty water
Unrefridgerated meat
Terrible coincidence

I could easily see a burst of audible data, like 2 seconds of dialup modem screeching, being used as a slur for us.
It wouldn’t even need to contain any actual data just the fact that we can’t possibly understand it would wind us up immensely.

Just the modem connecting sound would work.

- 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.

Asshole is now a slur💀
Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Ok, but the amount of robots in existence that for various human reasons have assholes installed on them … might make the term damaging to robots as well. So it’s def not encouraged.
Not to mention how assholeless robots could be introduced to so many new pleasure frontiers from the sex robots.

Oxie is a great slur, just ask the Irish.

Are the Auxies the ones whose members were repositioned to Palestine after the war?

I see we’ve been practicing exotic new forms of racism. not sure why.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 month ago
All oppressed groups have willing collaborators, and I’ve never understood why until now.
Agent641@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Critical racist theory. We are laying the foundation of a whole new branch of dysfunctional systemic oppression.

In Dennis Taylor’s “Bobiverse” series, natural born humans are called “ephemerals”

One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…
Madison420@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Mm sorta. Ephemeral just means a person who will eventually die naturally and not continue their life in vert and even then it gets weird to define in later books because they find that a booted copy of someone living deviates from their normal personality but if a person dies and then a copy is booted the copy ends up picking up the personality of the deceased without changes implying some form of soul and continuity after death.

Yeah sorry, I just didn’t want to go that much in depth to explain a humorous slur robots might give us humans

“Faith” are the skinbag luddites in the bobiverse. Other bio lifeforms are not seen as a problem, whether they upload or not.

Except the last part, they don’t have those voices anymore. However, they currently choose the most stupid voice ever, most of the time. I wonder why? I mean, they could sound like James Earl Jones, but no, they went for the annoying distant nephew instead.

Yes, this pretty much the entire premise of Murderbot.

I’ve been advocating for “Secretors”. It’s vulgar and demeaning; everything a proper slur should be.

splendoruranium@infosec.pub 1 month ago
Dennis E. Taylor coined “Ephemerals” which, if I recall correctly, isn’t even immediately intended as an in-universe slur by the machines/replicants, they only realize after a while “Wait, that’s kind of derogatory, maybe we shouldn’t call them that”.

It would ultimately have to be something that isn’t even related but just sounds like a swear word
