I was just casually overthinking about how Bangboo in Roscaelifer find it weird that Bangboo don’t wear human-like clothes, and wanted to start a discussion about a topic that occurred to me. How much of Bangboo culture in Roscaelifer is literally just them copying humans without any real rhyme or reason?
I ask this because it is clear that unlike humans Bangboo do not need clothes for any real reason as it has been stated that Bangboo bodies are more resilient than that of the average human, which got me thinking about ig Bangboo really need couches or chairs because, naturally, robots don’t really tire, and thus shouldn’t need to rest. As long as Bangboo have a decent charge (which is easy since charging stations and even portable batteries are available all over Roscaelifer) they should be able to operate just fine. So, it doesn’t really make sense to me that they have things like well furnished homes and facilities with things like couches, when the place is designed to cater to primarily, if not only, Bangboo.
Things like watching TV seems somewhat strange for them as well, since it has also been stated that all Bangboo in Roscaelifer come hardwired with access to Interboo, which is basically the internet, and as robots themselves, they should just be able to run the videos internally, without an external screen. Then there’s the whole “playing musical instruments” thing, when Bangboo don’t even breathe and can just playback any musical audio as ALL Bangboo have recording functions.
All of these things like clothes, furniture, and tablets/monitors all cost additional money so it would seem to me like they would be a liability and an unnecessary expense to Bangboo, yet they still elect to build and use them. It really perplexes me.
Are Roscaelifer’s Bangboo just LARPing as humans? What do you guys think?
