In a small town buried under a heavy blanket of snow, the residents invested in a state-of-the-art robot to handle their winter woes. With high-tech enthusiasm, they programmed it to shovel the driveway and sidewalks, sure that it would outshine any human worker. However, as the robot rolled out, it promptly got stuck in a snowbank after slipping on a patch of ice. Instead of recalculating its route, it spun in circles, creating a snow tornado that engulfed a nearby lamppost—turning an innocent winter day into a slapstick scene fit for a cartoon.
The sight of a high-tech machine struggling and flailing about like a clumsy toddler on a half-frozen pond was hilariously absurd. Watching this mechanical marvel, intended to ease their burdens, turn into a snow-covered dervish made the townsfolk realize that sometimes the robots we rely on are just as prone to mischief as we are—especially when it involves slippery surfaces and a little bit of snow!

Robot has difficulty shoveling snow.

T
Why? Why did they program me to feel pain? lol
T
Welcome to the suck clankers!
I
Here’s some WD-40 and software equivalent of Prozac, just walk it off
S
I like the idea of the future where robots use WD40 as a temporary joint pain reliever
D
If they do, then they deserve the pain! WD-40 is a shitty lubricant, mostly because it wasn’t meant as a lubricant. It’s a Water Displacer – formula 40.
E
I use seafoam’s deep creep or pb blaster. What is your go to out of interest, you are 100% correct on wd-40
D
Depends on application. 3-in-one for things like tools, silicone spray for things like door hinges, Dow Molykote 33 for my paintball gun, high temp bearing grease for certain car shit, pb blaster for real rusty bolts absolutely
T
PB all day for me
K
I put peanut butter on my robot’s joints and it immediately tried to robocall Sarah Conner to come end its misery.
U
Try Kroil, you’ll never go back.
C
Kroil… deep pockets over there 🙂 It is excellent, and I enjoy the smell too much.
J
Was hoping to see this!
O
Also great deodorant
P
quite the cutting edge piece of tech you got there, but I’m curious, can it feel fear?
D
Vegeta no!
I
Vegeta YES!
S
Kal-El, no!
S
DO YOU AFRAID?!
X
KIND OF?!
T
BAZINGATTACK!!
S
“What is my purpose?” “To shovel snow.” “Oh. My. God.” “Welcome to the club.”
G
With all the struggling and the slipping, I think it’s beginning to assimilate as a human.
S
I really wish they wouldn’t scream

I was hoping in the least we might be in the Wall-E timeline, nope we are definitely in the Matrix timeline
T
What is my propose You shovel snow.
J
but somehow they sent it outdoors without any kind of traction device on its feet a all. Just smooth plastic bottom feet. genius.
T
r/unexpectedsimpsons
C
They’ll remember this.
U
Not if we delete their memories of it.
C
They’re gonna go through reddit for our crimes. Your post history will definitely be on a big screen at your trial.
U
They will see videos like this. Clock is just ticking.
B
I was gonna say, this is the kind of thing that sets Skynet off. Even if its not aware *but has the potential to be*, be nice to the little guy, its trying its best
A
“I will always love you Phillip J Frye” – bzzt
T
I feel bad enough I want to go help it. 🙁 Accursed anthropomorphism!
N
I’ll never forget you Fry. \*MEMORY DELETED\*
R
Of all the jobs, this is the one I’m okay with robots taking over completely
M
They already have wheeled/tracked ones that look like self-driving lawnmowers that are far more effective than this. They’re just still expensive for good ones but the tech is improving rapidly. This will be why the Optimus business case really falls apart. Humans suck at this and a robot handed the same tools would suck at this as well. That said, I’m confused as to why you’d have it trying to shovel compacted/driven over ice when only salt/heavy duty plow is going to do anything on that surface.
B
Turns out a high center of gravity on two bendy sticks isn’t so great at all things.
I
Are you suggesting that I start doing more tasks on my hands and knees?
G
No just have your legs surgically replaced with tank tracks
M
say less
T
out here tryin to be a Zoombini
B
Have your legs replaced with tank tracks.
E
[So this is peak performance in the eyes of the Omnissiah?](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Kataphron_Battle_Servitor?file=KataphronBattleServitor.jpg)
P
It’d be approximately 40k units better than the current iteration at snow removal.
G
Exactly
P
From the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me….
C
We’re suggesting that you weigh 600 lbs and be 4-stroke
J
Thats what makes me so puzzled. The human form is good at many things but there are loads and loads of things where non humanoid designs excel.
B
They just want to be sure that the robots will be capable of chasing us down over long distances. That is why they are making them bipedal.
