It doesn't specify you'll get a floor though, so there's that.

[–] Viking_Hippie 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And whether any floor you get might be lava.

[–] Daft_ish 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Having experienced many lava floors, it's not so bad. Kinda fun actually.

Tough on the knees and ankles in the long run, though..

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.

Sounds like if Yamaha had Boeing's executive team

[–] Sequentialsilence 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Thankfully Yamaha actually makes good stuff. Doesn’t really matter what it is. If it says Yamaha on it it’s at minimum decent.

[–] FordBeeblebrox 7 points 8 months ago

Everything from motorcycles to saxophones

[–] mojo_raisin 6 points 8 months ago

Yamaha makes everything excellent quality.

Came here to comment exactly this quote, you beat me to it!

There really is a Douglas Adams quote for everything.

I remember /r/SandersForPresident echoing this refrain. "When Sanders takes office we are going to line up the opposition and give them exactly what they deserve... (beat) ...free healthcare."

I have stickers that say this from the Patreon, and I gave one to my little elementary school age brother because he collects stickers, and he stuck it right on his school iPad. I’ve never been more proud of him haha

So, uh, a modern (not US) prison cell?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Lol, good one.

Only one education? No re-education?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

conservatives are anti-education, so still one education …

I can still take personal extralegal revenge without betraying the revolution though, right?

...right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't really think that revenge is a healthy concept. Especially for the revoltion I'd like to see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Okay so I don't disagree, but, like... What if I really wanna?

[–] Kase 6 points 8 months ago

Well in that case it's all good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Seems a bit biased against the undead.
