Sounds like the synopsis of The Forever Winter. Great setting for that game.
oh hey isn’t that the backstory to horizon zero dawn?
"We finally invented the Torment Nexus from sci-fi classic Don’t create the Torment Nexus "
Well, at least there isn’t a narcissistic tech-billionaire around who doesn’t care about human lives and is closely associated with the government.
Yeah! Thank god that isn’t a thing! Also does anyone have the blueprints for tearblast arrows?
The image is old enough for that.
What’s really concerning is that I have no idea if this is satire.
I think this is actually a real thing, but from like 10 years ago.
edit, there was a DARPA project that created a robot that could consume biomass as fuel, its acronym is EATR. According to wikipedia, it could “only” consume certain types of vegetation. But in the initial proposal, the developers also proposed chicken fat. So honestly, this probably exists and there might be a version of it that can consume meat.

Phew. Chicken fat doesn’t seem very good, as we have enough meat eating already, but man a robot that runs on lettuce would be cool!
But, but… protein is an essential part of a balanced diet, and can provide more energy to the eater. I guess solar panels would be too woke, even if even more energy.
The game ‘high on life’ does it better.
Mankind is dead. Blood is fuel. Hell is full.
Gabriel is hot🥵
That game is a bit too hardcore for me. I’ve had it since very early on. I love everything that it has become. Except that it’s fucking hard.
There’s a whole video game series on why this is a terrible idea. (Horizon Zero Dawn)
I really like those games. I just don’t want to be a character in them.
EAT THE RICH! wait, what…?!
Not like that!
I actually hope this is fake
Robot: please remain calm, I’m here to assist you.
Patient: you’re choking me!
Robot: squeezes harder
Can’t wait for the black mirror episode based on this, as if the dog robot wasn’t terrifying enough.
It’s literally the plot to Horizon Zero Dawn
Screamers was about these war robots that became self aware and began killing not just because you were an enemy soldier but because they could use your body parts to lubricate their gears. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114367/

Although several people in the replies have pointed out the actual truth behind this post, (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot)
I do think this qualifies as misinformation. Given what happened on most other social networks, I can’t help feeling uneasy even though it’s a stupid joke post.
Awww I wanted it to gurgle blood in its wood chipper/mouth/head removal proboscis while it giggled through its speakers and says I Bring You Love, you know to attract more fuel.
It’s been a trying day.
MANKIND IS DEAD
BAH GAWD
finally, a way to save on burial costs and diesel at the same time.
Nothing is the way it seems / Discerning man from machine / Dominate as to erase / Wiping man off Earth’s face / Fueling engines through deceit / To eradicate humanity / Man is obsolete / Erased, extinct
Defaced by all inept justice / Shamed by the mental abuses / Branded “inferior weakness” / Ordered to cease and to desist! / Man is obsolete!
Our world, obsolete!
