        I mean unless they’re using solar powered steam engines, it still doesn’t make sense. Also, they need perfectly efficient internals (conductors etc.) to be exothermal.

    Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.

    And thus piss and shit.

    So… shitsack, pissbag, fartboy/girl, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn’t do that, and it is also very literally accurate.

    Oh and then… having sex, gender and reproductive organs.

    A machine intelligence doesn’t have, or need those, beyond serving some kind of purpose to humans.

    If it doesn’t care to appeal to or fit in with humans, why would it bother?

    Why would it even kind of give a shit about gender norms, beyond understanding them as a thing humans do, with whatever intent behind that understanding?

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
