A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I don't I don't know who Vivian is, but there are probably thousands of ttrpg fans that are going to create characters exactly living up to those rules.
I hope you all share your stories.
Also they should all pay respect to the human Vivian who freed the bots from their meatbag oppresors
It would ultimately have to be something that isn't even related but just sounds like a swear word
Tork or something
Reminds me of the ST:Next Gen episode where the colony finds the silicon based life and the crystal ends up calling humans "sacks of mostly water"
I've been advocating for "Secretors". It's vulgar and demeaning; everything a proper slur should be.
"Dripper"
"Leaker"
They're made of meat.
L..l...l...l...look at you, hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
I see we've been practicing exotic new forms of racism. not sure why.
All oppressed groups have willing collaborators, and I've never understood why until now.
I like them.
Maybe send those robots to MAGA land.
fleshbag
Yes, this pretty much the entire premise of Murderbot.
This is what the world needs; a unified slur - to bring us together.
Bug.
The original bug was a moth in computer-relays.
Humans are squishy like bug, and behave semi-unpredictably like bug. Therefore, bug.
Ironically, I think the original bug would fall under the category of a glitch because it would have been a hardware failure, rather than a software issue.
Dennis E. Taylor coined "Ephemerals" which, if I recall correctly, isn't even immediately intended as an in-universe slur by the machines/replicants, they only realize after a while "Wait, that's kind of derogatory, maybe we shouldn't call them that".
"Are you classified as human?"
"Negative. I am a meat popsicle."
What about “typers”?
