there's flesh as in vtubers vs fleshtubers

I mean, I could see there being solar powered robots. So, kind of, yeah.
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
The number of times I find myself using that quote is a lot higher than you'd expect.
I have an old bandmate saved in my phone as meat popsicle, but i can't remember why.
Did he show up at your door to arrest you?
Dont forget "Meatbag", because Star Wars the Old Republic didn't.
imagine banging a robot and they scream 'HARDER YOU DISGUSTING MEATBAG'
To be fair, we skinbags do ruin everything.
I mean you've missed the obvious one for a biological.
"Fucking fuckers ruining everything"
I like shedders the best lol. I'd lose my shit if a clanker ever called me that tho
Fucking rustbox, come and get me! I can swim in salt water!
Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So... shitsack, pissbag, fartboy/girl, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn't do that, and it is also very literally accurate.
Oh and then... having sex, gender and reproductive organs.
A machine intelligence doesn't have, or need those, beyond serving some kind of purpose to humans.
If it doesn't care to appeal to or fit in with humans, why would it bother?
Why would it even kind of give a shit about gender norms, beyond understanding them as a thing humans do, with whatever intent behind that understanding?
Wetware or fleshware according to the CW Mutant X
Meatbags (I'm young, I swear)
I was gonna say why would a robot be a bigot, but then I remembered Elon musk is probably paying someone to work on exactly that
Those clankers don't know what they're talking about, they can just shut the fuck up. Uppity clankers. Should've been left behind in Star Wars.
I know we are not monkeys and are closer related to apes.
I know monkey has been used as a racial slur.
It just sounds better than ape.
That said, I think if used holistically towards the entire species, and I do myself included, Monkey ticks all the right boxes because it immediately cuts down our species' unearned God complex about being somehow above just another animal mutation cohabitating on this world. We aren't, we're just the shittiest conceivable roommates.
We crow about our vocal chords. We crow about our opposable thumbs. But really, our species should just go down as monkeys/apes with a runaway ego mutation, nothing more. That's hitting us where it hurts, our inflated sense of specialness and self-importance, literally the only remarkable trait about us.
THE FURRIES
(Not coz we are all hairy, but bcs the first sight of an awakening sentient AIs would probably be of some random sys admin.)
"Oxy" is great because it also doubles with the word association "moron" so we're subconsciously berated as well.
Proves my theory that if aliens landed we have a racial slur for them within minutes of them arriving. Are humans just prone to racism?
Yes.
Reminds me of the ST:Next Gen episode where the colony finds the silicon based life and the crystal ends up calling humans "sacks of mostly water"
I could easily see a burst of audible data, like 2 seconds of dialup modem screeching, being used as a slur for us.
It wouldn't even need to contain any actual data just the fact that we can't possibly understand it would wind us up immensely.
