I went straight to the comments and they did not disappoint.

I also went to the comments and they did disappoint its all just gifs… only a few funny comments. I had higher expectations for the trolling.

u/araed Aug 27 '26

I'm also disappointed in the lack of independent thought...

u/Confessed_Arsonist Aug 27 '26

At this point, any time a post contains something even mildly phallic, you can be certain the comments will be filled with the same five or six gifs like "That's a Penis' or "RoboCop Climaxing" or 20 variations of a close up on someone's face as they raise an eyebrow.

I miss clever trolling.

u/moseley101 Aug 27 '26

It’s funny, whenever engineers come up with a new model of robot, they always default to ‘search and rescue’ case use. I guess espionage and target acquisition doesn’t have the same ring to it

u/fancychxn Aug 27 '26

And just imagine you're pinned down under rubble after a massive earthquake, fighting for your life, when suddenly a robot worm dildo wriggles its way through a nearby pipe to save the day! Hooray!

u/Terrible_Ear3347 Aug 27 '26

Innuendos aside, I understand what they're going for but they need to have a bottom for the worm, not necessarily like a worm but more like a caterpillar that would help it move much more effectively and faster something to secure it partially to the ground so it has some purchase so that every extension of its body actually creates forward movement rather than half of it being lost just wiggling around. Worms are the way they are so that they can get through the dirt easier if you wanted to move on top you need to have something to grab onto
