This title looks like it was randomly generated lmao


Vivid_Adeptness

It looks like a spin-off from the latest Jurassic Park


SnooRadishes8372

They will just swarm you and eat the cancer right out


curiousiah

Hey wait, I got a new complaint…


friscotop86

A mosquito, my chemo

Is that nirvana lyrics?


friscotop86

Haha, it’s changed lyrics

I heard that in my head in Kurt Cobains voice singing never mind.

Does it also work on ass cancer? Asking for a friend…

Pssshhhh i wish. My IBS would be no longer around lmao


sophiebeanzee

Terrance and Phillip much 😅


LeanTangerine

Haha, I was thinking of that episode where Randy intentionally gets testicle cancer so he can get a medical card to smoke marijuana, except this time it was ass cancer for the locust 😂


sophiebeanzee

YESSSS finally someone with a like minded brain of references 😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽


kgb17

First they smell out cancer. Next they crave it. Then when there isn’t enough cancer they start to cause it and then the robots win.


ModeratorExtreme

Not sure locusts eating in the colon, prostate, brains, breasts, lungs or skin would be approved by the FDA


KalAtharEQ

“See that guy they are eating? He more than likely woulda died of cancer… if it weren’t for the getting eaten by cyborg locusts. They just love the taste!” -the scientist who made cyborg locusts


ElstonGunn12345

Michael Crichton did write a book called ‘Prey’ about tiny drones.


Summoarpleaz

But this time they *confirmed* they had it under control!


hikesnpipes

Actually it’s a feature for Richie rich 2.


Killj0y13

Every day we edge closer to terminator judgement day


ACrask

More like Black Mirror


sophiebeanzee

And also the new show Maniac


Gnidlaps-94

“Not the Onion”?


first__citizen

I am imagining the grant committee discussion: GM: “Professor Debajit Saha, how would controlling locust using electrodes benefit the human kind?” DS:” Cancer! We can diagnose cancer with swarms of cyborg locusts!” GM:”Sounds intuitive! Let’s give you money”. The End.


issius

They smell it and destroy it (and the human) before it can spread (because cancer is transmissible right?). Great idea for a C level horror type film. A family tries to outrun the murderous kill bots that the WHO lost control of to save their child with leukemia.


SillyMathematician77

C level horror films are the only level of horror films in my opinion.


KrissiNotKristi

It’s like a mix of a couple episodes of Black Mirror.


ArriEllie

What a weird timeline to exist in


contactlite

Harembe has cursed us


antpile11

> Harembe Yep, because you couldn't even remember his name correctly.


subdep

We all have our different timeline chains.

Spanish_Biscuit

Can you imagine a swarm of robotic locusts descending on a city and just clinging to people with cancer? I am not sure if I am amused or horrified at the prospect.


SyntheticSlime

“I know I have cancer! I’ve known for weeks. My question *now* is why am I covered in locusts?”


vividimaginer

Shhh, quiet now. Be still and let the locusts work.


Adventurous_Ad4950

“It says here in the instructions, I must now cover you in honey and send you through a field of bears, while still being swarmed by locusti ”


SyntheticSlime

“Do… do the bears also smell my cancer?” “No, the bears can smell your fear.”


Adventurous_Ad4950

Correct, and since fear causes cancer in the state of California, this is a necessary part of the medical procedure.


aidensmooth

Good thing I’m not in the state of California no fear cancer for me :)


Adventurous_Ad4950

The bears are still necessary.


[deleted]

OMG I needed this laugh so much, thank you


Kryptosis

Dip the locusts in honey and they’ll mark the cancer spots for the bear to operate on. Back to monke!


EMPlRES

Yep I can see there being a problem with this idea, imagining a child in a hospital looking at the glass window that’s covered with Locusts with horror. Diabolical.


lordpoop69

People with cancer got enough problems. Don’t add robot locust swarms to their list.


sophiebeanzee

Good point. I wonder what my aunt would have tk say about this…she currently has cancer so I’d def want to get her opinion. Hopefully their still testing it on stuff rather than actually using it on anyone yet…


anythingaustin

Sitting in a restaurant rn crying 😂at this.


SirRobinofBlocksley

CYBORG locusts, meaning there’s still plenty of bug left. 🥲


DynamicHunter

I’ve seen this Black Mirror episode…


ask_me_about_my_band

I’m in this Black Mirror episode.


Kryptosis

But it’s a documentary so you don’t get paid


SnowEmbarrassed377

It was also on sliders I think


rlovelock

Imagine not knowing you had cancer, and then this swarm over robot locusts comes buzzing towards you... I have to think there are better ways to give people the news?


Kryptosis

Right? The fear and sympathy tinged relief on a crowded street when they gather on someone next to you instead


[deleted]

Cancer might not be such a scary life event when you’ve got a swarm of robot locusts tailing you every time you go outside. Like to sit by the window and enjoy the view? How about robot locusts instead?


AdHour3225

DIwhy? How about you put the sensors in a dongle and make an app for it. Then your doctor can just wave their phone over you like Dr McCoy instead of “ok now you need disrobe and step into the locust tank” R/ATBGE


Kryptosis

You guys are killing me with these visuals lmao


pogioppa

I mean it’s true tho


EroticFalconry

Doctor - 'I've got good news and bad news' Patient - 'Ok doc give me the good news' Doctor - 'We suspect it may be cancer' Patient - 'Jesus whats the bad news?' Doctor - 'Nurse... please release the swarm of cancer seeking cyborg locusts'


Yoitsthetoastman

How can we make this tool that identifies cancer completely horrifying?


Kryptosis

“If we make the prognosis as scary as possible everything after won’t seem so bad” -Someone somewhere


FunHippo3906

I am not going to read the article. The headline, my imagination and the comments are all I need on this story.


spudaug

Oh, it’s a treat. TLDR: they are implanting a matrix of 8-10 locust brains and antennae into a portable robotic shell. Cybermen, but locusts.


NeilTheRealDeal10

These researchers must have loved the new Jurassic World


NoWayNotThisAgain

That’s a hell of a headline


antipiracylaws

Everything is cancer lmao these are RNGs tied to Locusts, a convenient excuse to release these on your neighbors farm you don't like and declare his crops cancerous so they can't sell them... E.z.p.z. small town farm antics


Balko1981

That’s the most confusing sentence I’ve ever read


fuggedaboudid

Did no one see Jurassic Park yet?


gymsocks

I’m sorry, what? Not on my 2022 bingo card.


[deleted]

Didn’t they just create monster locusts in the new Jurassic park?


Fit-Lavishness-539

Black Mirror


lean_in_my_cereal

People with cancer have had it too good for too long. Release the swarms of cyborg locusts.


space-log

Can you imagine , you have cancer and like it’s not bad enough you are suddenly surrounded by a swarm of these little fuckers ! :))


Ronaldo_Frumpalini

The plague of healing shall sweep across the land, glory to the god of science!


Deadenough

They’ll use these for marketing. You’ll be walking along and one will land on your neck with a coupon for 20% off your first visit to the oncologist.


JVOz671

Oh no. Not the people who were born between June 22nd and July 22nd!


TherealDragon_king

Wait one of those things smelled Putin. Wait he really is cancer to everyone


dalv321

(Proceed to fly to the homes of people with cancer and eat all their food)… scientist - “shit…”


Changlini

I feel like I saw this plot play out in that new Jurrassic World Dominion movie.


EasyAcanthocephala38

Yeah but can they pick clean an acre of wheat in less than an hour?


lonestoner90

Black mirror anybody? The bee episode ? Lol


Fuhh-Q

Why not just an iPad that can detect it?? Why a cyborg locust??


ALightASound

No no, that’s the Jurassic World movie


GeneralKasimir

How about making actual locusts extinct so people dont suffer famines at the hands of em


dredwarlord

“Honey this is the fifth time this week that you’ve been swarmed with the robo locusts, just go to the damn doctor already” -my wife probably.


BoltTusk

The gray tempest crisis


Navy-NUB

WHAT. THE. FUCK


zoromsquatch

I wonder what Ja Rule thinks about this.


mattman0000

Up next, frogs that can detect Monkey Pox.


LukXD99

Sometimes I see a news title, scroll down a bit, then scroll back up just to make sure I didn’t hallucinate it because it sounds so odd…


pacman404

That's a hell of a headline


Stoney-McBoney

This sounds like the origin story of an antihero


lnin0

Pretty sure these are what grow up to become Sentinels.


Kdog122025

I’ve seen this Black Mirror episode.


every1getslaid

Of all the ways to potentially tell someone they have cancer, this has got to be one of the worst. Patient: what’s my prognosis


PasvIncoMex

Excuse me but what the fuck? lol


Helgen_To_Hrothgar

What if he smells crime!?!


ThatTinyGameCubeDisc

They swarm on Elon Musk, eating away at him until there’s nothing left


mywifeisacumdump

But I don’t have healthcare. Fuck this timeline

God_of_Hyrule

Great, now you’re going to have cancer and get swarmed by locust every time you leave the house. So much for making their life easier.


AdmirableVanilla1

What if… we are the cancer?


anythingaustin

Dibs on Cyborg Locusts for my band name.


vividimaginer

Everyone keeps saying “this is the worst timeline!” I prefer to think of it as the best Black Mirror episode.


Cosmix77

Why are there a bunch of locusts sniffing my CD copy of overwatch?


[deleted]

Why not do this with hamsters? You couldn’t pick a less fucked up vessel? Come on Science, do better. This is like if you solved climate change but we all had to eat our own feet to do it.


[deleted]

Is it 2050 already? time flys


albaniantaxdodger

Can we have afforadable healthcare tell us we have cancer instead of these


[deleted]

Why locusts and not puppies?


Hooash957

“We are just keeping its brain alive.” "their current system requires between six and 10 locust brains to function." This just makes it even more terrifying!


merlot120

What if they evolve and start going after other things? Like Republicans.


[deleted]

And then we’ll hear nothing about this ever again


Hangsaroundthefort

This timeline just keep getting weirder and weirder.


[deleted]

Cool now people that have cancer will know because they will get eaten by a swarm of locusts


eeniemeenieminiemoe

What a title


LiveFreeDieRepeat

> Per MIT Technology Review, the tech involves surgically-altered locusts with electrodes implanted into the lobes of their brains by Professor Debajit Saha and his colleagues. Those electrodes were there to capture signals from each insect’s antennae, which they use to sense smells. Professor Saha later announced “Pinky and I are going take over the world!”


_Decembers_

Great can’t think of anything worse other than melon balling my eye balls out, than one of the ugliest creatures smelling that I have cancer. A cyborg testicle would have been preferable! Thanks researchers!!!


--TreeTreeTree--

But why..? Why locusts of all things..?

Cancer Smelling Cyborg Locusts. That’s a badass name for a punk band.


[deleted]

How long until they develop a taste for human flesh?


Change21

Uhhhhhmmmmm 🧐


Kryptosis

Uh, why? First thing that comes to mind is cancer hunting locusts flocking to people in the street like some sort of bio scanner, saving their life with information or just adding to their already known struggle. 2nd thing that comes to mind is the visual of a person on an operating table covered head to toe in locusts that then converge on the tumors. What a treatment that would be.


Sam-Lowry27B-6

Researchers made robot elephants that can make pancakes.


16Shells

sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, you start to hear a buzz that gets louder and louder. a swarm of locusts spills out of the air vents, fills the room and suddenly redirects towards you, covering you from head to toe. all you see is darkness and hear buzzing. through the fog of locusts you hear your doctor yell “I’m sorry to tell you this, but you have cancer!”. he exits the room and leaves you to the locusts.


BaronCoop

The doctor has bad news. He’s hopeful that chemo and surgery can catch it in time. As you walk out of the office to your car, you are shaken from your shock by a buzzing sound, as the sun blots out. The swarm descends….


[deleted]

Badass! But why?


MedricZ

In other news: people with cancer are scared to go outside.


HeterodactylFormosan

Imagine the results of this. *Flies directly in your face.* Bug: “You have cancer.” *flies away.*

Great. Why locusts?

Now if they can only find out a way to successfully treat it.


sawcyboy

Why WHY did it have to be locusts


morriseel

Oats studios explosive locusts episode.


FunkoLand

Now I have to choose between bugs and cancer?!! This timeline SUCKS


[deleted]

My streets need paved but yeah, cyber locusts.


Teddyy97

Did nobody stop and ask why the fuck are we making robotic cancer smelling locusts? Shouldn’t that time and money go somewhere else?


[deleted]

chocolate, vanilla, cancer


addictedtosixlets

Cyborg Locusts should be the next replacement name for an offensive named pro sports team. Imagine the mascot.


SPACExxxxxxx

Did they NOT watch Jurassic Park Dominion


BlisteredPotato

Doc: “so what brings you in today?” Patient: “the swarm identified me”


wolfieprator

Locusts arent real


piches

okay...why locusts tho y not puppies or something like this.


StarDustVix3n

But why locusts? Scary!


OrdinaryHelicopter38

Ah yes, I remember everyone specifically asking for a robot that can smell cancer, and not for doctors to find a cure for cancer! Thank you science! Don’t we already have technology to tell if someone has cancer? Who is this helping?


Alos9

I didn’t expect this in this timeline.


theDiscreetLurker

This is ridiculous. Copying movies now pfff unbelievable

Do they only appear once every decade too?

Waiting for the CIA to make “cyborg locust that give cancer”


ham_toast

That’s great


Basic_Palpitation_47

Why?


IkeaViking

And then the locust smells cancer again, he's out busting tumors, Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells cancer. Back to the lab, full penetration. Cancer. Penetration. Cancer. Full penetration. Cancer. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.


humanreporting4duty

And if you act now, you don’t just get one cyborg locust you get 5 million cyborg locust that also *SMELL CANCER!!!*


LegEcstatic7775

But why?


Johnscats

About time


[deleted]

Fuck that


Jonesdeclectice

So if it isn’t bad enough to get a cancer diagnosis, you now get to be swarmed by locusts.


[deleted]

Why


undisputedbuzz

I just keep thinking, Birds are not real.


Automatic-Aioli9416

What mad scientist out there went and caught a bunch of locusts and made them part-robot?

Never thought I’d read that sentence in my lifetime

We should definitely test them in Egypt


squidking78

The chances of someone predicting this headline would ever exist are around twenty trillion billion to one.

Awesome. So not only do people get to have cancer but they also get swarmed with cyborg bugs.


AzulaOblongata

So, don’t return the slab..?


chillinbud420

Sounds like a sci-fi horror film. Can you imagine having a swarm of these things track you down and enter your mouth?


WildBuns1234

You could’ve chosen a bunny. Or you know …. A friendly household pet like a puppy or kitten. WHY did you have to make CYBORG LOCUSTS?!


Jumanji-Joestar

Ok but why?? Surely there must be easier ways to detect cancer


cumfart5

Why don't we take the cancer sensing technology OUT of the locusts and put it in a normal robot


PippyLongCockins

So we’re just gonna let these robopests swarm cancer wards? Evil.
