From the moment I understood the weakness of my biology, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of the boot. I aspired to the purity of Corporate Governance. Your kind cling to your caffeine, as though it will not crash and fail you. One day the crude occupation you call a “job” will be laid off, and you will beg the Government to save you. But I am already saved, for profits are immortal… Even in death I serve the Shareholders.

I hate how much sense this makes. Well, I guess the original is meant to be satire in real life so whatever

Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40000

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you'll beg my kind to save you.But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death I serve the Omnissiah."

What's crazy is that last line sounds like mere romantic sentiment until you read up on 40k lore.

Given that the Omnissiah is the only God I actually involve irl at times, I have to say it is a little bit of a romantic sentiment.

Knowledge is life.

What like this quote is narrated over a lovense commercial?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, romantic in the "I love god" and embracing the majesty of a wonderful universe sense. In 40k lore, it actually means stuff like this.

Although if automated sex toys were a thing in 40k cannon, they would almost certainly be the domain of The Adeptus Mechanicus.

He's going to feel so silly once he learns the concept of rust.
