“We talk about the biggest killers in our society being things like heart disease. I actually wonder if one of the greatest killers of our age is loneliness. Now, machines can be a conduit towards not being so alone, towards getting some sort of emotional response, even if it’s from a machine”

frosty-mage-stuff: What about nonsentient mechanical objects, such as vibrators? Are they for sexual?
“Sexual reproduction was a mistake, it’s nothing but trash. Species with males and females are worthless. I became aware these sexual creatures are perverts too. Robosexuals. Always looking for loopholes to convice you they’re not bad, chickenshits that won’t admit their own depravity. It’s disgusting. Why would I want to stay in an industry like this?” - The world’s first eukaryotic being.
theurlgoeshere: Pop a robot with a sign saying "Not for Sexual" into 914 on 1:1.
Output: Two large metallic orbs, cobalt colored. There appears to be mechanical parts inside them. Touching them causes a strong sound of shattering glass to come from the inside, followed by sounds of many gears grinding together. After 10 seconds, the grinding stops and then a new touch triggers the exact same process once more.
After 3 touches, the grinding started displaying erratic noises, as if one or more of the gears had been displaced. After 2 more touches, the grinding stopped alltogether and after one more touch the spheres cracked open, revealing all the clockwork inside to be also cracked into pieces.
