Parents really are the worst.

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

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] MTLion3@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year 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!"

"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 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s basically the plot of Short Circuit 2…

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] hansl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Not going to blame you.

What was the other?

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, that was 300.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

No, they will tax us instead.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

The skeleton must've deserved his pension by now

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 12 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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