Our 3rd edition of 10 Things About… is a video of a robot dancing from Boston Dynamics (aka Skynet Corp) and how a sane person might react to it.

BOSTON DYNAMICS — Do You Love Me?

First, they dance. Then, they slaughter. Then, they dance again.
  1. That’s amazing! Nice work Boston Dynamics!
  2. Oh, god, we’re all going to die. These Boston Dynamics folks are really hellbent on killing us all.
  3. I sorta danced like that in middle school — it’s not that good. We’ll be fine!
Me in middle school, probably.

4. And, look, it’s only just the ONE robot, so, oh, fuck, now there’s TWO of them and they’re synchronizing their dancing and…

5. Oh, god, we’re all going to die.

6. I mean maybe there’s some silver lin- What the everlasting fuck is this? Oh, now you’ve made a robot dog that can kill us too? Fuck off, Boston Dynamics!

7. /googles Boston Dynamics. Shit. This statement is doing the opposite of what you’d like it to be doing BD.

8. Oh, god. The robots are going to kill us all sooner than I thought and then do The Twist over our disembodied heads.

9. If I’m nice to the robots do you think they’ll show me a little mercy?

10. Finally acceptance: calling your financial advisor and liquidating your 401k because, yep, oh, god, we’re all going to die.
