I’m sitting in my room, hungry. And stores are closed. It’s the year two thousand eighteen.
Where’s my darn cooking robot to cook me food?? This technology was promised to me by cartoons from decades ago, dargoneit!! Have we not progressed that much in over two thousand years that robots can cook for us yet? Nope, seems not.
All we’ve got is a slooww roomba who only vacuums when there’s already nothing on the floor… Heck, might as well replace us with robots. Our human bodies are too clunky and too fragile…and parts cannot be easily replaced.
Planned obsolescence of humans this is.

I would LOVE a cooking robot.
And a housecleaning robot.
And a robot to locate all the things I keep misplacing and losing.
And a robot to fetch me a cold bottle of juice/water/soda from the fridge.
If any of them know how to successfully make counterfeit hundred dollar bills, that would be great.
My clunky fragile body has medical bills.
Perhaps a microchip implanted into the brain? And a regenerative body like an octopus? Leg not working? just lop it off and out grows a brand new one! What, that new leg is smaller than the other one? Then lop that other one off too! *Poof* Two brand new matching legs! Just need to splice some octopus gene in ya. Want that bottle cold juice? Grow some extra octo arms!
8 arms + full regeneration > 2 arms + 2 legs + clunky human body
octopus > humans
It sounds useful, though not entirely photogenic.
Instead of Cordless, I could be OctoCord.
Imagine all the songs you can play with 8 arms
Imagine all the people who would pay to see that on stage…
A replicator would be nice. With one of those I could repurpose the kitchen space.
