Frequent mix up - you must be thinking Robert Reed’s character (Mike Brady)

Am I into this stuff at all, no

Is that freaking hilarious? Yes

Ahahahaha

Shared 6mo ago where someone claimed it legit by a well-known guy who’s epic so they could pull it off IIRC

Chredge :D

I like that you even tried

That’s funny

Meta note, this is a great format for fake screenshots (partial dark mode to make it obvious)

Maybe this, thanks to Google’s “in quotation” exact match

It’s not just you. Fixed it:

I fear much of the fun will be lost in Applicant Tracking System’s translation to plain text :(

“It tells you exactly what to do. Like, It told me to get four new bags from the rack. When I did that it told me to go to trash can #1. Once I got there it told me to open the cabinet and pull out the trash can. Once I did that it told me to check the floor for any debris. Then it told me to tie up the bag and put it to the side, on the left. Then it told me to put a new bag in the can. Then it told me to attach the bag to the rim. Then it told me to put the can back in and close the cabinet. Then it told me to wipe down the cabinet and make sure it’s spotless. Then it told me to push the help button on the can to make sure it is working. Then it told me to move to trash can #2. Like that.”

The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is the primary manufacturer and supplier of androids, robots and autonomic assistants for the known universe. They are known for their catchy jingles and catchphrases, which are supplied by their Marketing Department.

The corporation is not known for the quality of their products, and almost all of their known inventions are faulty.

Their primary claim to fame seems to be constructing just about everything with (unstable) advanced robotics and software. From doors to lifts, to toaster ovens, drinks machines, vacuum cleaners, and “personal massage units” – Everything has been built with a full GPP or Genuine People Personality. This means that even a set of airlock doors has emotions, hopes, dreams, intelligence, and worse of all, the capacity for boredom. It should come as no surprise then, that the majority of these devices have a neurotic streak a mile wide.

The company motto is “Share and Enjoy.” This is widely adaptable, from synthesised drinks to the company of a robot, or “Your plastic pal who’s fun to be with”, as their robots are described as by the aforementioned Marketing Department.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: “A bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.”

Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: “A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.”

Only their complaints department survived the general economic implosion of the company as a whole.
