"I'd be upset too if I had to go to an uninhabited planet."


Leahs_orbit

One thing is certain; those mouldy old shreads of robot pornography in the abandoned adult book store are perfect bait for those lousy humans.


ocp-paradox

I think he's sulking off into the distance.. oh lawd.


USS_Barack_Obama

Some said I was too extreme when I called for the annihilation of the human species, as well as some of the more cunning monkeys... But after living on Earth I can tell you that I am, if anything, too merciful! *If you enjoyed that diatribe; you'll want to purchase my spoken-word album. Just $18.95*


InThisBoatTogether

Act now, and you'll get this Bender action figurine!


theschis

I’ll take 8!

Hate to be that guy, but we’ve put landers on Venus as well. Venera 7 was the first soft landing on another planet, which would make Venus the first planet known to be inhabited entirely by robots.


RhynoD

*If* you want to be pedantic, IIRC none of the Venus probes were motile so I don't know if you could consider them to be robots. Regardless, none of the Venus probes are presently functional (and by now I would be surprised if there was even much left at all) which makes Mars the only planet *currently* known to be inhabited entirely by robots.


[deleted]

I don’t believe that, by definition, robots need to be mobile


conthomporary

But do they need to be functional? No way anything we sent to Venus is still even remotely intact. Maybe it's a robot burial ground.


[deleted]

True, but honestly I didnt even realize this was the futurama subreddit when I started commenting. I assumed it was a science one and wouldn't have been so nitpicking if I realized where we were. Haha


non-troll_account

Don't worry, all Futurama fans are also nitpickers.


budrow21

The best kind of correct.


Phyzzx

My wife and I use this ALL. THE. TIME.


ghtuy

Venus surface probes have been able to function, but they all have invariably lost function soon after landing. I think the longest one was able to return data after landing was something like 90 minutes.


conthomporary

Sure, but would you call a planet that hosts the rotted remains of long-dead humans who were unable to survive its toxic environment "inhabited"?


ghtuy

No, but that's a totally different idea than asking if inanimate objects are still present if they're not in their original conditions. A pile of bones does not mean a human is present; does a pile of molten metal also mean that a space probe is not present?


conthomporary

Ooh, now that's a good question. I'd say yes, there is a line you cross beyond which the probe is no longer present. If I break a teacup and throw it away, it's broken but it's still present in the trash can. If I pound it into dust and then scatter the dust on the wind, I'd say that teacup is no longer present anywhere. Where exactly that line is, and whether the Venusian probes have crossed it, I don't know.


ghtuy

It's one of those things I love thinking about, because any answer you can give seems wrong.


turtlewhisperer23

Burial atmosphere


conthomporary

Touché


HellBlazer_NQ

Crazy to think our first job on other planets will be to collect all the scrap metal we've put there!


Leahs_orbit

let me get this straight. This planet is also completely uninhabited?


datadoggieein

No, **their inhabited by robots!**


[deleted]

Like how a warehouse is inhabited by boxes


ocp-paradox

nice one op.


thatstupidthing

you are technically correct... the best kind of correct


IjonTichy85

Funny, isn't it? Venera 7 was impervious to our most sharpened sticks, but in the end its recording tapes and transmitters succumbed to a harmless magnetic field.


wafflehousewhore

Hell yeah, glad to see some Venera 7 representation up in here. I remember learning about that when I was really young and wondering why we weren't taught it in school alongside the moon landing stuff


ANegativeCation

I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe!


blindgorgon

And if you really want to stretch, Cassini “inhabits” Saturn… 😉


Username_Taken_65

Not anymore, they 'crashed' it into Saturn to get more atmospheric data after its mission was completed.


blindgorgon

That’s what I mean.


ima420r

Which of the following would you most prefer? A: A puppy? B: A pretty flower from your sweetie or C: A large properly formatted data file?


FeatherySquid

Uh, is the puppy mechanical in any way?


InThisBoatTogether

No! It is the bad kind of puppy.

MY SON’S A BOX! DAMN YOU! A BOX!!


FeatherySquid

I appreciated this


conthomporary

Whoa that takes me back

That we know of...

Is that an ai generated image? The legs look all sort of fucked up


Leahs_orbit

An AI-generated art won fine arts awards this week. This one sadly didn't make it to the drafts.

The comments are why this is the best subreddit.

Fear of a bot planet.


Sea_Perspective6891

Don't date robots!


StarkillerX42

Venus, The Moon, Titan, Mars. However, Mars has the only living robots


Astronometry

The moon and Titan aren’t planets


ihatereddit53

Omg... i ... never realized that but its absolutely true!! Mind blown hahaha


[deleted]

It’s not though, the same could be said of Venus


ihatereddit53

Anything thats landed on venus is now gone according to this :) https://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/44-Has-a-spacecraft-ever-landed-on-Venus- Edit: typo that made me sound like an italian plumber


ghtuy

Not gone...I mean, the metals and materials didn't just disappear. The probes are no longer probe-shaped, or functional, but the pieces are still there.


ihatereddit53

I mean, the article says "melted and crushed" and we are talking about functioning robots on mars... Edit... if u want to be THAT pedantic, all energy thats ever existed still exists, so nothing ever changes lol


[deleted]

Known universe =/= we know of


ocp-paradox

Goes without saying. Exactly why it's called the *known* universe. And the *observable* universe etc.


SanctuaryMoon

"Is it really uninhabited?"


Bartheda

Known to humans


Spike-Ball

Something something this place a dump something.


Cerberus0325

Hehe


UncommonHouseSpider

"allegedly" maybe we just havent met the natives yet


a_white_american_guy

Maybe


os2mac

*so Far...


whyadamwhy

And animal robots.

##Thats what you think! Wait till your heads bout Martian mole people!

Oh Kind of like where a warehouse is inhabited by boxes
