Why the hell does this need to have an anthropomorphic body?

See, that design isnt very human. I do like the grips though, that feels important.

It really, really didn't need to look like a person. Not even a little bit.

Nobody said it has to be an animal. It could also be a plant. Or an upscaled model of a prokaryote.

As long as it has a gaping hole and a look of vague recognitioning of something's a little off asking "but.... Why?"

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 1y

Well it's a robot. Duh. This is what robots look like.

I really hope it has nice and distinguished buttocks, like really caked up, a real piss storage unit back there with an extra wheel just to support each cheek.

Taiwan makes everything anthropomorphic! They’ve got an anthropomorphic version of the mass damper on top of the Taipei 101:

They probably could’ve just made a mascot version of this robot but… eh.

Why does urinebot need arms and hands?

Rooskie91@discuss.online · 83 pts · 1y (5 replies)

To rub its nipples while you pee on it, duh.

Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Fuck you.

I just snorted in a meeting! How am I supposed to appear to be professional if you drop grenades in the comments like that?!?

(Good job)

Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip · 15 pts · 1y

What I actually read was:

Please put an NSFW tag on this comment. I was in a meeting and when I saw this I had to start furiously rubbing my nipples like I was being peed on. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the HR, it happened again”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this comment. Now there is a whole meeting full of men rubbing their nipples together at this one comment. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged your comment NSFW.

Why the fuck does it need arms? To help you with other samples?

Also that is 100% gonna spring a leak at some point and spill piss all over the ground as it traverses the hospital hallways.

PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world · 47 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Why does it need a head for that matter? They could just build it to look like a urinal with a screen. This just makes me feel like I’m in a Rule 34 Astrobot piss fantasy.
