oh hey isn’t that the backstory to horizon zero dawn?
Well, at least there isn’t a narcissistic tech-billionaire around who doesn’t care about human lives and is closely associated with the government.
Yeah! Thank god that isn’t a thing! Also does anyone have the blueprints for tearblast arrows?
This is the plot of Horizon Zero Dawn
I guess I should get a bow and some arrows.
Probably should spoiler tag that.
Mankind is dead. Blood is fuel. Hell is full.
Gabriel is hot🥵
That game is a bit too hardcore for me. I’ve had it since very early on. I love everything that it has become. Except that it’s fucking hard.
There’s a whole video game series on why this is a terrible idea. (Horizon Zero Dawn)
I really like those games. I just don’t want to be a character in them.
What’s really concerning is that I have no idea if this is satire.
I think this is actually a real thing, but from like 10 years ago.
edit, there was a DARPA project that created a robot that could consume biomass as fuel, its acronym is EATR. According to wikipedia, it could “only” consume certain types of vegetation. But in the initial proposal, the developers also proposed chicken fat. So honestly, this probably exists and there might be a version of it that can consume meat.

Phew. Chicken fat doesn’t seem very good, as we have enough meat eating already, but man a robot that runs on lettuce would be cool!
Although several people in the replies have pointed out the actual truth behind this post, (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot)
I do think this qualifies as misinformation. Given what happened on most other social networks, I can’t help feeling uneasy even though it’s a stupid joke post.
Awww I wanted it to gurgle blood in its wood chipper/mouth/head removal proboscis while it giggled through its speakers and says I Bring You Love, you know to attract more fuel.
It’s been a trying day.
Paging Elisabet Sobek!
“At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus“
Bitch do you know what happens in Horizon where they make SELF REPLICATING SELF THINKING ROBOTS THAT CONSUME BIOMATTER AS FUEL
Fuck Ted Faro
It’s spelled Elon Musk actually.
The Matrix?
the orphan crushing machine is complete
I read it as "robot that can eat orgasms for fuel. My version is better.

I actually hope this is fake
iirc this was just an engine that could run on most combustible hydrocarbons, a small gas turbine and some elaborate digestion setup I seem to remember, and the press really stretched a badly worded explanation of how it worked into ‘it eats corpses’. Which is fair, humans are mostly made from tasty biomass, but still.
edit: here’s a couple sources about it, it sounds like it does indeed run on vegetable biomass.
The photo, however, shows search and rescue robots.
“EXTERMINATE!”
Ooo, I think I’ve seen this one
