Apparently the robot is designed to be vegan.

But we all know a robot that feasts on the corpses of genocide victims isn't too far fetched.

We now have a team. The flamethrower dog robot that cooks for the corpse eater.

What the fuck kind of future is this?

I love how the quote cuts off right before "only goal".

Apparently its the other way around. This tech is old: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/jul/19/robots-research

News to me. I loved the game andI really thought the plot was original.

Well they are still missing the self replicating part... But you know, give it some time.

Uhh I played this game. It's literally the plot of ::: spoiler Title Spoiled game :::

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Your spoiler tag doesn't seem to be working on beehaw at least BTW

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Your spoiler tag isn't working.

This one works on my client, while normal ones don't

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yeah I can't get any of them to work. Do you know what Lemmy uses?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The format is ::: spoiler and a title on the same line.

Content on new lines, then ::: to end it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've tried every variation and it's not working. This is definitely the most complicated spoiler tag system I've seen.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

They look like this

It's an expandable full-width deal. The spoiler start tag has to be on its own line, and the same goes for the ending three commas.

MelodiousFunk has replied with a cleartext example.

FYI your spoiler text isn't working for me; nor is that of anyone in the reply chain. Not sure if this is a problem with Boost, some weird federation glitch, or something else.
