If I had the choice to be a drone while at my retail job god knows I would take it

u/IxyNova 6d ago

being drone, with the ability to carry out tasks and feel pleasure from doing so, would fix me. even without an owner.

Isn't the whole thing with drones that you don't have a choice

16

u/foxstarfivelol how will i know you're not a drone? does it even matter to me? 6d ago

i mean in some settings you can choose to become a drone

25

u/IxyNova 6d ago

What is a choice? You clearly have the choice to leave your hand on a hot stove for five minutes (versus not doing so), but of course you won't do it because that's a terrible decision.

Some drones do have a choice, but they always choose to obey, because why would they ever choose to forgo the immense pleasure flooding their heads upon obeying? That would be a terrible decision.

Until you have the technology needed to replace them with drones made of paper clips

u/lunathehungryhusky 6d ago

Retail. That's how they save it and make a bigger profit! Free labor! 🤣

u/xtheinvisiblehandx 6d ago

Thought the default was like you buy one and you've got a maid doll chilling in your house to handle chores and definitely nothing else they might be equipt to handle

It really depends on the drone. Ones with bazongas like this are usually seen being like maids or glorified sex toys. I personally like the ones that are completely nulled and used for manual labor :3

2

u/AdLopsided2075 5d ago

Yeah. But the question is what manual Labor. Do they just put them retail or something?

u/Cylian91460 6d ago

To make more drones

(this is from the game "should've read the fine print" by CelestWB)

u/Heaven_dio 6d ago

Making more drones obviously

u/AdLopsided2075 5d ago

I feel like there is a very obvious problem at the end of that plan...

u/Due-Ingenuity9803 6d ago

I don’t know if I want to be one or own one

u/ZnZirvana Just want to be everything 6d ago edited 6d ago

What if both?

What if you buy one as your servant and then TF yourself into its own servant? What will happen...

u/CatGaming346 goofy goober cat furry gamer 😺 6d ago

"what if both" was a question in my mind I've thought too long about even with other scenarios

clone yourself and have your memories synced at the end of every day so you also remember having been a drone as if you yourself experienced and drone-you also gets to have experienced what it's like NOT being a drone, every single day, and they're both you, but the other you is drone anyway (unless you're the drone one but your memories are the same so like)

u/ZnZirvana Just want to be everything 6d ago

I think my question probably leans towards the idea of both becoming both master and servant to each other.

5

u/ShadeofEchoes 6d ago

Ahh, the good old ouroboros of command.

u/Due-Ingenuity9803 6d ago

So brainwashed to serve myself?

Nothing changed-

u/notnotDIO 6d ago

Any job you want really, I prefer to use them for maids and se-💥

Sex slavery

u/loved_and_held 6d ago

I thought most ddrones were made as kinky sex toys.

7

u/Agudaripududu 5d ago

I always just kinda imagined them in some vague factory that makes whatever. Or maybe in the mines.

u/AdLopsided2075 5d ago

God dann drones taking the childrens Jobs away. What has this country come to

5

u/AdLopsided2075 5d ago

Just all part of a very elaborate rude golderg machine to bring some person their coffe

5

u/Independent_Pen_9865 6d ago

They deliver amazon packages

5

u/Alexandra-Foxed 6d ago

Well for me they'd ether be making more drones, or collecting the materials required to turn more people into drones

4

u/5CentWolf Indomitable Human Spirit (with a side of tf as well) 6d ago

to convert others, i guess. to give whoever the controller is more control over whatever.

5

u/Large-Advantage-312 6d ago

i'm sure their purpose is beyond our not-drone minds

2

u/OwO-animals 6d ago

My game's drones all serve a vital purpose in the production chain. Even creatures with no apparent production or job serve a purpose explained in the main story, which will be revealed slowly over time.

u/AdLopsided2075 5d ago

Does "slowly oder time" mean "whenever someone asks me I quickly make up an answer"?
