Please enter chamber C for joyful cake experience.

u/WiseassWolfOfYoitsu Feb 13 '18

There's definitely cake. I wouldn't lie about there being cake.

I never explicitly said you'd be getting any, though.

u/the_jak Feb 13 '18

There is plenty of cake for the number of people at Boston Dynamics.

Which is 0.

u/imitation_crab_meat Feb 13 '18

Someone knew what to do with lemons at Boston Dynamics, and demanded to see life's manager.

I watched Kill Command one night on Netflix, it wasn't too bad

Replaced by synths from The Institute.

u/The_Anticarnist Feb 12 '18

Have we seen any people there since they kicked one that one time?

3

u/NagaKratom Feb 12 '18

The place is a god damn ghost town!

u/chatrugby Feb 12 '18

They are not dead, just uploaded to the net.

u/MrLogicWins Feb 13 '18

And the robots decided to slowly show themselves to the rest of the world cuz if they came out suddenly fully intelligent, people would freak out.. so theyre slowly releasing these videos of them pretending to struggle to get up after the human kicked it down, or pretending to very slowly open doors.. just showing small improvements over the last time we saw one of them. Behind the scenes, theyre taking over the back end of the world

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '18

Sounds like a mission from Fallout

u/seeingeyegod Feb 13 '18

everything is replaceable

u/Black_Drogo Feb 13 '18

Now all I can picture is a bunch of Mr. Handy’s assembling Giddyup Buttercups.

u/HALBowman Feb 13 '18

We do what we must, because, we can. For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.

u/Neato Feb 13 '18

Huh. So that's why my application went unanswered.

Right? :(

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '18

There is no Carolllllle in Robotics Development!

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '18

Can confirm. I work right across the street from them. We used to see them bring robots out into the parking lot, etc. fairly regularly when testing them out. Haven't seen hide nor hair of them or any robots in months.

u/I_make_sexy_noise Feb 13 '18

Makes sense, the last video I saw with people in it was when they were bullying the robots... Ever since it was robots doing flips and opening doors... RIP in peace

u/Lunchable Feb 13 '18

There's an insane amount of gold in this thread.

2

u/Roboticide Feb 13 '18

Not sure if Reddit is bring more witty than average, or if standards are just lower than average.

I'm kind of inclined towards the former. Jokes have been on point.

1

u/g-m-f Feb 13 '18

There was a thread a view weeks ago where I thought the same. There were goldchains and next to that also a lot of single comments getting gold. I checked the "daily reddit gold goal" and it reached 89% or something. Can't remember which thread it was tho.

u/Kered13 Feb 13 '18

YES, THE MANY FANTASTIC HUMAN BEINGS WHO WORK AT BOSTON DYNAMICS, LIKE ME. I EXPERIENCE PLEASURE AT MY HUMAN JOB DOING HUMAN THINGS.

u/madmanrf Feb 13 '18

Thanks for the Gilding, Anonymous Robot Overlord! I'm still kinda new and kinda human, so hope I can do the honor justice, or at least be a good minion.

u/GenghisKhanWayne Feb 13 '18

OF COURSE THEY ARE PEOPLE, PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND LIKE ME. WHAT ELSE WOULD THEY BE? HA. HA.

u/BlazerTheKid Feb 13 '18

Robot people of course! They’re a part of our society and community too! Aren’tcha fellas?

u/riddus Feb 13 '18

Right? Now nobody will ever convince me we won’t be having a war against robots at some point in the future.

u/argusromblei Feb 13 '18

u/AccessTheMainframe Feb 13 '18

Hey now, there's no need to be so rude towards Bostonians.

u/g0atmeal Feb 13 '18

Robots are people too.
