Mankind is dead. Blood is fuel. Hell is full.
Gabriel is hot🥵
That game is a bit too hardcore for me. I’ve had it since very early on. I love everything that it has become. Except that it’s fucking hard.
But that is not our mission, yet.
BLOOD IS FUEL
MANKIND IS DEAD
HELL IS FULL
CAPSLOCK IS STUCK
BABA IS YOU
dude remember that paper that came out that said “hey, you know we could have a colony on mars and build houses out of blood that’d be pretty fucked up right”

iirc this was just an engine that could run on most combustible hydrocarbons, a small gas turbine and some elaborate digestion setup I seem to remember, and the press really stretched a badly worded explanation of how it worked into ‘it eats corpses’. Which is fair, humans are mostly made from tasty biomass, but still.
edit: here’s a couple sources about it, it sounds like it does indeed run on vegetable biomass.
The photo, however, shows search and rescue robots.
If you think about it, any diesel powered vehicle is a robot that eats organisms for fuel.
And more than likely most of us here are using thinking stones powered by electricity created by very large machines far away eating organisms for fuel. Not to mention heating, but not everyone lives where there’s only two seasons; winter and July. (Actually I pay extra to have a 100% renewables contract I think but idk how well those work.)
95% of Finland’s energy is already carbon neutral.
“Carbon-neutral” isn’t synonymous with coming from renewables.
In 2023, the electricity sold to [my energy company] customers was distributed by energy source as follows: 25% renewable energy sources, 28% fossil energy sources and peat, 47% nuclear power.
But my point was rather a rhetorical one on a global level
This is the plot of Horizon Zero Dawn
Probably should spoiler tag that.
In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.
This is also something you find out fairly early into the game
Isn’t it more towards the end of the first game, that’s when it’s fully revealed
IIRC the full reveal - and also why the game is titled Horizon Zero Dawn - is quite late. But I think the general theme, that those robots run on biomass is mentioned quite early, although not quite in the sense as it is portrayed in the reveal.
This is the first time I am knowing of this, that makes it a spoiler.
On the other hand, I don’t plan on playing the game, so I guess it is not a spoiler.
Congrats! You’re one of today’s (un)lucky 10000!
It’s really not much of a spoiler.
I guess I should get a bow and some arrows.
I had some, before I moved.
Let me just say this, what came easy to young me in boy scouts… well, I’m just glad if I hit a safe area in the general direction I’m aiming.
The other issues is as a boy I shot off the right of the riser on a longbow, and this was an off the left takedown (recurve) bow - still the amount I sucked surprised me a little, lol.
So hopefully you have time to practice.
Although several people in the replies have pointed out the actual truth behind this post, (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot)
I do think this qualifies as misinformation. Given what happened on most other social networks, I can’t help feeling uneasy even though it’s a stupid joke post.
Awww I wanted it to gurgle blood in its wood chipper/mouth/head removal proboscis while it giggled through its speakers and says I Bring You Love, you know to attract more fuel.
It’s been a trying day.
Bitch do you know what happens in Horizon where they make SELF REPLICATING SELF THINKING ROBOTS THAT CONSUME BIOMATTER AS FUEL
Fuck Ted Faro
It’s spelled Elon Musk actually.
Soylent is people!!!
Screamers was about these war robots that became self aware and began killing not just because you were an enemy soldier but because they could use your body parts to lubricate their gears. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114367/

Ooo, I think I’ve seen this one
I love how people think this is the robot apocalypse and not the robots that the wealthy already use to fuck us over
I actually hope this is fake
“EXTERMINATE!”
