Parents really are the worst.

Ah, so even the dead aren’t allowed to rest under the king. Yippie 😂

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But what is the king going to do, hurt the skeleton?

[–] MTLion3@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

I mean, maybe he feels pain. Guess we’ll just have to turn you into a skeleton to find out 👀

"Whats he gonna do if i don't pay? Kill me again?"

"THEN PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!"

"i don't have blood. I'm a skeleton."

"then you shall pay with your Bones" Breaks rib off and hands it over " Here a doctor from Germany told me ribs grow back"

This raises an interesting question, do you think when AI are able to function as true AI do you think we will tax them as citizens?

[–] hansl@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

That’s basically the plot of Short Circuit 2…

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago (4 children)

That was one of the two movies I've ever walked out of.

[–] hansl@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Not going to blame you.

[–] userflairoptional@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago

What was the other?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Ah, that was 300.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

I loved it but in my defense I was 5 and there was a robot.

Doubt it, at most I think they’ll be treated like animals.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Some people have been discussing that, although it's not at the forefront.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

No, they will tax us instead.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 11 months ago

The skeleton must've deserved his pension by now

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you don’t need to eat you don’t need to work. Go and be spooky, good skeleton.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

While that may be true. Back in those days taxes worked differently, and I don't think it was always based on a percentage of your income.

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

What are they going to do, kill him?

Thanks!
... although the links point to a different comic. The correct ones are:

I didn't find it on twitter, but I didn't spend too much time.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

I didn't realize you were linking to the individual Comic page. Sorry.
