Okay, I'm thinking that Melon put a large number of firecrackers inside her butt panel "because I thought it would be funny". Meanwhile, Arthur is playing the role of the enabler friend who
ought to be the one stopping her from doing stupid things.
Today's strip fits in with yesterday's strip because it shows us the following:
- Synthetics can be just as utterly and self-destructively stupid as any human;
- There is a reason why AIs aren't ready to rle the world!
I suspect that Melon is eventually going to confess that she was copying a stunt from the AI version of
Jackass, something that IRL has already cut a swathe of injury and death.
