Roko already wants to polish her butt emblem? Isn't that a bit premature?
TheEvilDog:
Not really, she's got a new body and she quit her job. Money could be a bit tight. That's going to need proper maintenance. Or at least, that's what she thinks. Really, butt polish is just like all those other unnecessary products.

Like the difference in perceived bass biasing isn't worth paying ten times as much? oh, I agree.
Union Robotics could make themselves a name by creating their own, cheap more moderately priced alternative. It may get weird when Pintsize helps them creating the formula.

This actually hurts me. It's so bad, it could be one of MY jokes.

I'm the Uwe Boll of punning. 8-)
Srsly, though: Do we have a Germanophone equivalent to the Anglophone punning-culture? We do puns, too, but methinks it doesn't play that much of a role in German/Austrian/Swiss humor? .
P. S.: Yes, German humor does exist, it's just that it is pretty dark, very fond of the surreal and absurd, and a lot of it is deadpan & tongue-in-cheek. Monthly Python is right up our alley.
P. P. S. :And it's distinct from post-1990s German comedy, which is a crime against humanity.

You know, I'm really starting to worry about Melon. I wonder how often she injures herself out of curiosity or a simple lack of understanding of what is and is not good for her continued functioning? There is this incident, the exploding butt and the incredibly traumatic hallucinations she gives herself by huffing toxic mixtures at Coffee of Doom. I might be being too down here but I really think that she needs a live-in carer!
This is the first suggestion Jeph has made that Roko isn't so much feeling disconnection from her new body as she's suffering from an ongoing low-level sensory overload that makes it difficult for her to adapt. She is either going to go into The Secret Bakery and faint due to the smell or start acting crazy because of the sensations. I'm not sure which option is worse at this point, given what she said about how desperately she still needs bread to turn her on!
Meanwhile, I think that Faye speaks for Jeph in her suspicion of 'expert opinions' on the Internet and we learn that Bubbles just doesn't indulge Melon's whimsical nature at all! :laugh:

Perhaps Melon has a similar issue to what Roko is going through? Reason she can carve into herself, blow her butt off etc, is because she doesn't see the body as "her". As long as the AI lattice is in tact, they're OK, so I would hazard a guess that some AI's might feel that the chassis is a simple vehicle, able to be modified and transformed to fit the personality, much the way we view a car or truck. The chassis or car is a simple vehicle to get us from point A to point B while we travel along inside it.
