I normally don't condone kicking dogs, but.

If that fucker became President, I could see this happening. We'd have these shitty robot dogs and robot humanoids with his head on em. Instead of Skynet, we'd get Xnet or Musknet, some stupid thing like that.

Does it heil Hitler too?

Yes it does. There are videos on Instagram.

It can lift the front right leg. That's pretty much the only thing it can do aside from walking.

This is the real Futurama. We'll never be rid of these people. They'll just put their heads on robot dogs and have their post apocalyptic slaves serve them.

JK but this is seriously unsettling but that was probably what the artist was going for so props to them?

The fact they made the whole thing flesh colored and not just the head makes it so much worse somehow...

Wow.

Almost as creepy and synthetic as the real thing. That's saying something.

Now I'd never normally be in favor of kicking dogs, not even robot ones; however...

Why?

ag10n@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 136d (2 replies)

Art, doesn’t it make you reflect on things?

Blackfeathr@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 136d (1 reply)

As someone who makes art, yes.

This is just...mildly distressing?

nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 136d

Hoo boi do you have a liberal definition of “mildly”.

This would encourage me to avoid that “art show” at all costs.
