Apes vs robots

[evesdream]

In the future, we'll almost certainly be ruled by either robots or apes. Which would be the better overlord?

 

[IndieSnob]

My vote goes for robots.

I can't give you an exact why. I apologize.

But they're not even alive!

 

[IndieSnob]

Yeah, but I have this weird fear of Apes. Seriously.

I don't want to talk about it. It was a traumatic experience. No lies.

 

[Honey123]

Who would rule the robots so that they can rule the world? Apes.

 

[pointless]

ants, you fool.

 

[Honey123]

robot ants?

 

[IndieSnob]

ants, you fool.

Hey, this joke's on the first CD, but I added a new line so I can't fuckin’ rob you of this one: I got an ant farm; them fellas didn't grow shit. I said “C’mon, what about some celery? You fuckers don’t farm. Plus, if I tore your legs off, you would look like snowmen." That's...that's the part that's not on the old CD.

If it involved spaghetti dinner, a circus clown, and Carrot Top I understand completely.

Clever.

I never thought of this one, but it makes perfect sense. Their efficiency is terrifying. Except new rule, it doesn't count as an option unless there's a movie about it.

Oh and if you're voting for Dolf just say so in the comments, I forgot to add it to the poll.

My Dad worked out in a tiny little town outside of Spokane. They had a medical testing center there. Apes out in yard caged up. Shaved all around. Looking at them, it fucked with my head. Hard.

 

[evesdream]

Aaahhhhhh!

That is the saddest story I've read today.

Apes share 99% of our genome and our mammalian emotions.

Robot overlords would only see us as an impediment to their desired goal of contemplating higher math forevermore.

However, robots don't throw poo; I think we should consider that too.

Robots do whatever we've programmed them to do.

I'm going to program mine to throw poo.

Much of our current concept of race is based on a heirarchy that put blacks at the bottom of a particular pyramid, because--so the thinking went--they were closest to our simian ancestors. We beautiful white descendants of the population on and around the Caucasus Mountains were far more sophisticated and advanced. Nicer heads, whiter skin, etc.

You are among the few who know that among the other flaws with this the minor issue that shaved apes are--yep--white-white-white.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Is that a fact. Learn something new every day.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I have a very funny monkey story. I should tell it sometime.

 

[richard_daily]

Robot apes... duh.


They would provide us with sex robots for procreation. Although preferably not ape sex robots... unless you're into that sort of thing.

I just wonder if poo-throwing robots will be overlord material, that's all.

We your stories.

Has anyone ever told you you're a caveman? You kind of are.

My knuckles are kind of scraped up right now, to be honest.

I'm glad you noticed.

 

[evesdream]

I'm surprised by the number of people who prefer apes to bots. Simians can be fickle and irrational. At least with robots you kind of know what to expect.
