#robots and machines: bagger 288

[flechettestorm]

Me arriving to my new job as an excavator mechanic:

Hello I am here to fuck Bagger 288, I mean fuck Bagger 288, I mean fuck Bagger 288, I mean fix Bagger 288

My hatred for the oil and gas industries vanishing from my body when I see Bagger 288, my beloved.

Just how advanced are your duel simulators? Did you program all the dialogue yourself? If not you may have a case of emergent AI on your hands!

This nonsense again! Look, our machines are not sentient. Except for the Bagger 288, and yes, we might have had a small incident a few months ago. But we got it perfectly under control now. Relax! The robot revolution won’t happen.

The leaders of the world sat down around a secret table

There was a threat to humankind they must defend against

To fight against Godzillas they just simply were not able

Doom-robots from the future could be met with no defence

The leader of the Germans stood with a triumphant roar:

"I get it, we shall build a machine that's totally great!

"A massive steel leviathan with blades covered in gore

"Beelzebub himself will fear

"THE BAGGER 288"
