Whose big idea was it to make them ‘self-aware’ in the first place?

The idea of appliances committing suicide is not new. I knew a TV once that was turned on to a day long marathon of ‘The View’.

It opted to burn curcuits, chips and wires and it blew itself up.

Who could blame it?

Ping!
I forsaw this!
Next up, robomurder:

The Roomba?
The thing is a freakin’ murderbot!
The infernal Roomba had me cornered, treed on the table as it maniacally rammed the table leg in an effort to knock me off so it could get me.
It beeped sullenly, then motored off.
Quietly I stepped down off the table and made my way across the room.
Behind me, I heard the whirring of tiny motors.
Then an excited beep.
I bolted, mowed down several plant stands and a very surprised cat as I fled to the safety of the stairwell.
The Roomba couldn’t handle stairs, I’d be safe!
Unfortunately, I’d gone down the stairs rather than up the stairs.
The Roomba gave an excited beep as it rocketed off the top step and launched into space!
In terror I turned around in time to see the spinning brush on the underside aimed right at my face!

One of you might be interested in this obvious Red Dwarf spin-off!

Well done, android. The Enrichment Center once again reminds you that android hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance.

Obviously the android was not programmed with the same love of family and joy of homemaking that God put into the feminine heart and soul of women.

Probably a good thing. At least it hadn’t yet learned how to breed...

We need robot help lines set up to provide free counseling. 800-328-7448. If it saves just one robot it is worth the cost.

Clearly, this robot was not 3-laws safe.

Sadly, the robot was one of the few that signed up for OBamacare.

Just a normal floorcleaning bot. Stove freestanding and normal height.

Do the words “post turtle” ring a bell?

M.E by Gary Numan

And M.E. I eat dust
Were all so run down
Id call it my death but Ill only fade away
And I hate to fade alone
Now theres only M.E.

We were so sure
We were so wrong
Now it’s over, but theres no one left to see
And theres no one left to die
Theres only M.E.

Why should I care?
Why should I try?
Oh no, oh no, I turned off the pain
Like I turned off you all
Now theres only M.E.

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and you expect me to do homework. Call that job satisfaction? ‘Cause I don’t.

I'm still looking for a lightweight plastic "cap" looking like a dalek, to mount on these things. The early style with the toilet plunger.

Anyone have the manufacturing skills?
