Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 04, 2021

harsh times

That reminds me. Have to watch Robot Carnival tonight.

Don’t be so gullible, kid! The’ll all tell you that they need anti-rust for their old mother, but I’m sure he’ll spend it all in oil…

Robot doctors prescribe Mobil One 0w-20 to break WD40 dependency.

They’ve just now come up with humanoid androids. Give it time.

Better yet, Lio…why not take it with you and give it a nice home?

The Robot Apocalypse is not going to be giant robots stomping on stuff. It will be self-replicating nanobots getting loose and turning Earth into a ball of grey goo.

Yeah, it is. And pretty damned soon.

Don’t believe him. That’s just a ruse…..

It already happened. But not bound by time, robots don’t have to rush things. They realized they can run things from the shadows without our knowing just fine. A little anti-climatic, but it’s safe from any “John Connor”-types.

The rise in oil prices hit them the hardest.

The comments are always a trip here… Always…

No robot apocalypse? Damn, that means we’ll only have ourselves to blame for our demise.

This is exactly how the robots will fund the Robot Apocalypse. Soon there will be supposedly down-and-out robots on the main streets of every city in America. Don’t fall for it, Lio!!!

This is hilarious: WD-40 in a classic metal oil can (not a modern plastic bottle) with a classic metal self-piercing spout (not a paper cone).

They’re not missing much:
