Oh it can give birth to live babies now! That's definitely a step up!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, the dead baby machine was not as impressive.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Though to be fair, it’s much easier to make.

Wasn't this a thing in both the matrix and dune?

As a gay guy I'd love if this were real and widely available. I would be able to become a father, but not have to navigate the moral minefields of surrogacy and adoption

[–] Newhere@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And here is no issues of morality 🤣

This is an important step for mechaphiles with mpreg fetishes.

Does it have GPU datacenters? No?
Then not clanker.

The movie is called "the pod generation". Makes sure you read those terms of service...

Lovely how they went from having a one-child policy to having ∞-child capabilities in just a few decades.

All hail the dystopian future, where countries don't need people to make babies, in fact, they oughtn't, as it decreases worker productivity. They can just order a steady amount of new ~~slaves~~ workers being born.

I don't know, sounds like a Brave New World in our near future

At least we'll have more time for orgies and mind-blowing drug trips, right?

[–] dbx12@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, at least they will be bad at shooting and probably dress in all white armor.

Stormtroopers aren't clones.

[–] randamumaki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Correct. The Clone Troopers were clones, which in the prequel movies is very clearly pointed out, but by the time of Episode IV: A New Hope the Empire had been recruiting from the general population. Much like most wars which drag on for a while, the elite forces end up having to let in new recruits to fill in gaps from those who were lost. These recruits might not have more than just some basic training, and when rebels then infiltrate weapons manufacturing plants and fiddle with the quality of the guns provided to these troops (IIRC mentioned in Andor if not elsewhere), it's no wonder the Storm Troopers had worse aim than the Clone Troopers.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It's explicitly stated in A New Hope that they were shooting to miss when the main characters were escaping the Death Star because a tracker had been planted on the Millennium Falcon and they planned to follow it and destroy whichever planet was hosting the rebel base. You can't do that if you don't let them escape. Every other time they're in battle, stormtroopers are shown to be devastatingly effective except when a small garrison is overwhelmed by a vasty larger number of ewoks.

The same fear that people had for IVF pregnancies. No one can tell by looking how you were born (unless your head got stuck in that cone shape if you had to be yanked out by suction)

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

Yes, but they only stay that way as a baby.

Finally we have created the Torment Nexus…
