  Sorry—this is not the content I usually do but I hope you like it anyway! I was writing a video about data &amp; exoplanets and then I had the idea to interview someone. They were really nice and we set something up for 8 parsecs from now. So I put something else together in the mean time.


<br><br>Thumbs up the video if this was fine and thumbs down it if you hated it and want me to get back to the usual stuff! Thanks for watching.

  The idea of a basement full of robot carcasses you feel too bad too get rid of is the sci fi short story I didn&apos;t know I needed

  To be totally fair to C-3PO, yes, someone did program him to be that incredibly annoying. That person was a 6-year-old Anakin Skywalker. He would grow up to be the whiniest of all possible Jedi.

  There’s only one reason people will want human-shaped robots and we all know it…but we’ll all ignore it…

  It takes me 12 hrs to do laundry: 2 for washing and drying, 9.5 of procrastination and staring at the pile, 30 mins of grumpy folding

  &quot;He&apos;s a gun, but he has feelings&quot; is such a funny one sentence summary of The Iron Giant

  Watching this I realized that our conception of a robot servants dates back to a time when most people had human servants doing domestic tasks. Suddenly the trope makes so much more sense.

  Clicked the video to hear about humanoid robots and we&apos;ve been calculating how much force it will take for household appliances to crush youtubers for 15 minutes and honestly I&apos;m here for it

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRn3-MN92H4&amp;t=370">6:10</a> - as someone who&apos;s been too involved in discussions about Han Solo&apos;s use of &quot;parsec&quot; in Star Wars before, one interesting thing I learned is that at least one version of the script includes a stage direction immediately after that line which reads: &quot;Ben reacts to Solo&apos;s stupid attempt to impress them with obvious misinformation.&quot; I like the implication that Han is literally just bullshitting a farmer and his grandpa about how space travel works with some kind of big fancy space travel word so they&apos;ll pay $10,000 for a ticket to Alderaan and he can get out of debt with the space mafia.
