This robot-powered burger joint could put fast food workers out of a job

LOL, I tried to find you a link, but they have a lot of scenes out there but not that one.

Really, the movie is so terribly corny it actually has some funny parts, but of the whole movie, that's the one I always think of...

Dark Helmet: [after catching Vespa's car] Now we will show her who is in charge of this galaxy! [a Spaceball loads his gun] Hold it, I will handle this personally!

Spaceball: Jawohl Lord Helmet! [stands aside]

Dark Helmet: So Princess Vespa, you thought you could outwit the imperious forces of planet Spaceball, well you were wrong. You are now our prisoner, and will be held hostage until such time, as all of the air is transfered from your planet...to ours.

[opens door to the car and looks around, he lifts his mask up] She's not in there!

[immediately all Spaceballs in the room drop their guns and cover their crotches]

Radar Man: Radar repaired, sir. We're picking up the outline of a...Winnebago.

Dark Helmet: Winnebago? Lone Starr. [bangs his fist on the car side] Lone Starr![car's door slams on top of his helmet]

Robots can’t spit on your burger if they don’t like the color of your skin or your “attitude.”

Yeah? Just wait a few years when their A.I. gets smarter. Then you'll be tasting machine oil in your food.

It’s all fun and games until a 12 year old hacker figures a way to program in a bug that causes the mustard and ketchup to squirt across the kitchen. Or maybe that is the fun?

Many years ago (late 70's) I went to a Sperry-Vickers plant in Michigan for a Hydraulics class (very good class).

Some of my classmates were individuals who maintained the equipment in a (Nationally known) potato chip factory.

They used Vegetable Oil for lubricating the line equipment and were trying to get the instructors to give them ideas on how to keep the Veg oil from leaking around the seals on certain parts of the equipment (don't think they got a viable answer though).

You prefer to be human.

Bot-Burgers——dehumanization process-—conditioning
for the Transhumanism of J. Huxley and sex with only robots-—total dehumanization and nihilism and the Malthusian’s wet-dream.

Nihilism (Culture of Death) was started in the 1800s but is now culminating rapidly into the Brave New World-——you see dozens of people, families at restaurants and they are all focused on screens, not even acknowledging their family, children, much less strangers.

Total isolation of all humans (and as Ray Bradbury noted—it is done intentionally by the masses—they are giving up real human interaction for a fake/partial/artificial (superficial) Interaction—not Real Life contacts. (They are learning to live in an artificial, sterile, isolated reality-—so the Matrix (happy slavery) will be easy transition). They will not have to do or think-—just press buttons.

Kind of like so many young children-—looking like programmed fat bots—they can stare at screens for hours and not move and are so disagreeable if they have to answer one little question. No skills with interactions with others (which takes practice, time and playing with real human beings).

Amish groups refused even to have a telephone because of the dehumanization factor—”face to face” interaction is so much healthier emotionally, and leads to better communication, is more intimate/personal, than talking into a phone or artificial device that separates people and creates laziness about actually going to another’s house to really visit and have a cup of tea, where all emotions can be detectable and can’t be as easily misinterpreted—all senses not activated as God designed them to work when you use machines. Proper mapping of the brain and the human interaction, which creates true maturity and control over base emotions is better.

It is like reading a book v. watching TV.....Reading involves more senses and all the mind working in thousands of little ways-—watching TV shuts down the brain and does all the creative and hard work for the brain so actually destroys neurons instead of building them up in children.

We now push buttons and look into screens and wonder why our lives are so empty, emotionally sterile, and puerile, so devoid of human interactions in reality.

Isolation will destroy sanity and create all sorts of emotional problems in people, esp. children, since we are “social” animals, as Aristotle put it. Herd animals as Fichte put it.

We are designed to be loved and to nurture and teach each other in small groups, and gain wisdom—and part of that is by talking and relating to other people, and discussing and reading the Great Books of the Ages.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in CS Lewis’s debates with his buddies which included J.R.R. Tolkien, or a GK Chesterton event, or in the rooms with the Founding Fathers when they were arguing about the future of America. What robust, alive, invigorating, intellectual events. So many of the so-called “intellectuals” today have such vapid, irrational brains—unable to think like a Jefferson. Maybe a few—like D’Souza or Dr. Berlinski or Dr. Ken Ham, but they get so vilified and denigrated by the universities/so-called “intellectuals” of our time.

Tocqueville noted the robust discussions in early America even by “simple” farmers—about important, profound subjects and most people only had four years of “education” if that-—but WHAT an education-—REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES and learning REAL LIFE SKILLS and a DESIRE to learn, (to Know) which built true self esteem and healthy bodies.

Here is Lee making eye contact, sharing a smile at his favorite restaurant.

more people out of work.....and we’re happy about it?

[Moonman62]

I prefer one of these burgers than the one prepared by the attitudinal ghetto resident.

...

Nobody’s going to miss the spit either.

[catnipman]

I wonder how much the optional “spit in a honky’s food” addon costs? You know, to provide that “authentic” fast-food flavor?

[Spktyr]

Can’t get AIDS, Herpes or any of a number of other lethal infectious diseases from machine oil. Unlike when your cook deposits certain body fluids in your food.

These were the people screaming and demanding they be paid $15 per hour. They were told this would mean they’d be replaced by bots. They denied it and voted Dem anyway. Now they’re being replaced by bots. Oooops.

It’s called schadenfreude.

[lee martell]

You understand completely, and articulated the concept far better than I could.

[lee martell]

She kept saying “My eyes are up HERE!”, but didn’t seem to mind the attention.

5 Guys is my favorite burger joint. Fresh FF, great burger and in the shell peanuts that are FREE. They even have a non soda option...lemonade. They have never gotten my order wrong, and the service is fast as a burger can cook.
