oh hey isn’t that the backstory to horizon zero dawn?
"We finally invented the Torment Nexus from sci-fi classic Don’t create the Torment Nexus "
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?
The image is old enough for that.
I read it as "robot that can eat orgasms for fuel. My version is better.

It was fun the first 3 times, but now it’s starting to hurt.
Paging Elisabet Sobek!
If you think about it, any diesel powered vehicle is a robot that eats organisms for fuel.
And more than likely most of us here are using thinking stones powered by electricity created by very large machines far away eating organisms for fuel. Not to mention heating, but not everyone lives where there’s only two seasons; winter and July. (Actually I pay extra to have a 100% renewables contract I think but idk how well those work.)
95% of Finland’s energy is already carbon neutral.
“Carbon-neutral” isn’t synonymous with coming from renewables.
In 2023, the electricity sold to [my energy company] customers was distributed by energy source as follows: 25% renewable energy sources, 28% fossil energy sources and peat, 47% nuclear power.
But my point was rather a rhetorical one on a global level
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.

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.
Soylent is people!!!
BLOOD IS FUEL
dude remember that paper that came out that said “hey, you know we could have a colony on mars and build houses out of blood that’d be pretty fucked up right”
MANKIND IS DEAD
HELL IS FULL
CAPSLOCK IS STUCK

Ooo, I think I’ve seen this one
I love how people think this is the robot apocalypse and not the robots that the wealthy already use to fuck us over
“EXTERMINATE!”
I actually hope this is fake
It’s called EATR.
of SOLES
Can’t wait for the black mirror episode based on this, as if the dog robot wasn’t terrifying enough.
It’s literally the plot to Horizon Zero Dawn
What’s really concerning is that I have no idea if this is satire.
The game ‘high on life’ does it better.
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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot
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!
But, but… protein is an essential part of a balanced diet, and can provide more energy to the eater. I guess solar panels would be too woke, even if even more energy.
