why the hell are we watermarking memes here?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, surely the meme itself wasn't the joke. That would be terrible.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In retrospect, it's probably best not to put the watermark in the final panel.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

A good spot would be behind the word " sentient", so that you can read join lemmy faintly above it. This would discourage lazy people from removing or altering it

It should be like the dinosaur appliances in The Flintstones that say "it's a living"

Whatever increases the net happiness in the world. 🙂

A utilitarian, eh? So, a group of men with runaway diarrhea are going to shit in five toilets who do not want to be shit in. You have no way of stopping them, but if you pull a lever they will instead be diverted to a single toilet-that-does-not-want-to-be-shit-in. What is the correct action to take in this scenario?

[–] Reddit_Is_Trash@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

All, the natural evolution to the trolly-problem

[–] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To shit on something that isn't sentient that doesn't want to be shit on. Possibly the ground where it can be used as fertilizer for plants.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Damn. We have a different problem here, the group of army men don't want to shit together in the same toilet.

I never thought of the trolley problem with a sentient trolley

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.

[–] 5C5C5C@programming.dev 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.

Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So we've got a lot of Homo sentients out there then?

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Damn, as savage as they are

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Kind of a grey area, so I'll allow it.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would react like the robot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.

Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied "Ahhhhhhh..."

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Hahahahahaha

I would like it to be dejectedly resigned to its shitty job just like I am, thank you.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't this a thing from Hitchhiker's Guide? IIRC there's a company that creates sentient, emotional AIs and installs them into things like doors and elevators to make them enjoy their jobs and make the appliances even more useful... but everyone just ends up hating them?

[–] Mischala@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 year ago

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Cause I don't.

[–] Macropolis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago
[–] kinther@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure George would want the toilet to hate it

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What if the toilet played ads at you based on the food you shit out, where you can't flush the toilet until it's finished?

[–] federated_toast@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Please drink verification can to continue

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think that's a different question and I hate it. I'd rather shit in a hole in the floor before using a toilet with mandatory ads.

Literally would shit on the stall door if I saw that in public. Fuck forced ads.

First thing I thought of, as well. That scene gave me nightmares as a child.

Sentient Cows at Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the Universe. https://youtu.be/5HLy27bK-wU?si=womGmc4wkBjesRE9

I'd like to be able to switch it's outlook on swallowing my piss and shit as I see fit on any given day.

[–] Gobbel2000@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Is that in reference to the Safety Third podcast?
