Wait are there really not like automated fucking machines connected to the internet?

Like no one has tried making vr porn and integrating it with some kind of mechanism/robotic arm or something?

If something like that hasn’t been made humanity has surprised me and also I think I have an invention or two to design and patent lol

Edit: Looked up “internet connected vibrator” and yeah they definitely exist. Looks like some “Long Distance sex toys” are capable of being operated by/through the internet (imagine seeing a sex toy show up while scanning through local iot devices lol).

So yes, it appears it is possible (though I’d imagine uncommon) for people to use the internet directly to masturbate.

I’m fine, everything’s fine…

If anyone wants to read up more on “Governments were formed and exist to protect property rights” you might want to read The State and Revolution. It is pretty short and very relevant to this discussion

The myths surrounding Prometheus are my favorite

• He was willing to risk eternal torment just to share knowledge and/or further science, saying “fuck you” to Zeus
• Somehow the ancient Greeks knew that your liver is one of the few organs that can regenerate… somehow…
• His name possibly means “forethought” and he’s basically Athena and Hephaestus combined, literally the deity of technology and champion of mankind. What isn’t to love?
• He is saved from his eternal torment by Zeus’s own half human son Heracles, so it’s kind of like humanity repaid the favor and also said “fuck you” to god

The least favorite is Medusa because Athena literally punishes the victim of a rapist.

Technically I think the version of the story with rape was only described in Roman myths. However, even in the Greek ones she’s somehow the only mortal gorgon and is pregnant with Poseidon. So It seems very possible the origins of that Roman story were in Greek myths we don’t have written records of.

She was portrayed sympathetically in some of the Greek stories, which aids the idea that the version in which she is a victim predates the Roman writings. In a few of the Greek myths she is still portrayed as a maiden rather than inhuman monster, oh yeah and in those versions Perseus beheads while she’s sleeping, cause I guess killing sleeping women makes you a hero?

This has stirred deep, long forgotten memories in me

“Scary door” from Futurama

It’s a play on the twilight zone and it’s quite something.

“A casino where I’m always winning? This must be heaven!” “A casino where I always win… I must actually be… IN HELL!”

“No Mr. smith. You’re not in heaven or hell. You’re on an airplane!”

“Help! There’s a gremlin destroying the plane! You’ve gotta believe me!”

“Why should I believe you?! You’re Hitler!”
