So Tank Girl vs Terminator?
it is even worse when someone is actively destroying clean water sources. Back when russians blew up the Kakhovka dam - there was a huge crisis because it wrecked the entire ecosystem and disrupted water supply for a couple of months. Before everything got worked out and the new infrastructure was installed - everything was running on makeshift water storages and filtering systems and the likes. So what russians decided to do? Send some drones to blow it up for shits and giggles.
Just war crimes business nothing new
exactly - and then they deny they did that and follow it up by posting the videos of the deed from couple of angles without batting an eye
The very first “real” water war is going to break out in Central Asia within the next few years. Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan are ALL having major water scarcity issues, they all rely on water intensive crops and industries to fuel their economies, they’re all trying to ramp up production despite being on the brink, they’ve all had decades of mismanagement, and a lot of their water sources are shared. In other words, these countries are so authoritarian, so corrupt, and their water resources are so horribly mismanaged that things are actually looking really bleak over there. If I was a betting man I would bet that the next major war is going to start there.
Orwell was mostly right:
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”
He only missed that it would be a robotic foot not a boot.
Face crushing is so much work - just have the robots do it
- some billionaire
Ew I’m not getting commoner on my boot, daddy
-that billionaire’s daughterI’m here for u beb u been thru so much. Wanna take my dad’s boat to Seychelles this weekend? - Billionaire’s Daughter’s BF
Boot was just a portmanteau of ‘bot foot’
In “I, Robot” the mega-computers dedicated to optimizing humanity are pivotal in removing said boot, precisely because it generates a ton of waste that benefits only a handful of people.
I like to think that, no matter how hard dipshits like Elon try, their AI Revolution will ultimately bend us in that direction. In the end, it’ll be the billionaire and trillionaire class who declare war on the machines they financed the creation of.
Next phase are those Geck robots from metal gear solid 4.
Elon invented dehydrated water, relax.
I don’t wanna be around that when it catches fire
I like your optimism. Clean water, heh.
Welcome to Scotland.
Wa’a, pur’e wa’a. Aneteme I wa’t it, dey or night, free o char’ge, and it tastes…of fuck all. Cheer’s
I live in Iowa… What is clean water?
I live in Nevada. Lol water? Where? Surely, you jest!
Our forefathers didn’t have clean water either! These kids are weak!
I’m sure they’ll be powered by gen AI chatbots, so just tell them it would be helpful if they’d get you the water.
Imminent? This is why Sudan went to war decades ago.
Notice that no engineer hangs around when these robots are walking.
wants water, gets suplexed by a robot into said water, drowns
“I mean, it was a cool way to die”
Our dear friend spankinspinach was ever so trainlike, including his cause of death. May we all also so suplex our way to the pearlish gates, amen.
Easy, aim for the legs.
Are they waterproof?
Aim for the battery!
Salt water.
Soon.
Also not for clean water (that’s the water wars several years later, a global civil war between megacorps/“gov” and the people), but for water credits and interests on drinking-water-loans you were forced to get to survive.
Soon? Why is everyone forgetting about Sudan? They fought a war over water.
Why wouldn’t you have a bigger better cleaner meaner robot?
I’m too small and poor to make a robot the bigger robots will eat me
