The Terminator  universe was created before the internet had appeared.

This is the reason why the people were successfully fighting against the evil AI, and its terminator army.

Was it created in the internet epoch, Skynet would know that the assassinobots should look not as humans, but as kittens.

I suggest you (all of you) google "Terminator Kitten"

Here's just one of them.

Ever seen the 1995  movie Screamers? (I had read the short by Phillip.K.Dick, Second Variety, way before it came out)

It is the Teddy Bears we need to fear.

They also followed the false way of androids, even when they were a boy and a woman.
Expectedly, it got even worse in the Screamers 2, let me unsee this facepalm.

But if in Terminator-1, instead of a biker with a shotgun, somebody had found a kitten with "Pleazzze, return me to Sarah Connor!11 :purpleheart:" on the collar, the humans would be much more co-operative, and no Kyle Reese could oppose.

Sometimes any cat acts like a misguided terminator from the future, having lost its mission objective.

Except that I think it had a cpu that had to be in a main chunk, I could imagine the T-1000 in T2 being a whole litter.

A common theme in alot of the SciFi of the time, was the idea that Man in his quest to get better and better at war would build smarter and smarter machines, that would eventually overtake Man at making war and would go on evolving more and more devious and dangerous methods, while man would be forgotten.

There was a short story where a pilot crashes his plane in a big open green area and gets rescued by humans that were originally from both sides. Nobody ever comes to rescue them so they had started a peacefull community, farming. The only danger being that they had to dodge the odd bit of debris falling from the sky as the automated war continues on overhead. Man has literally fallen out of the war they started and the machines knowing no better just keep fighting, churning out war machines from automated factories, simply programmed to attack the opposing side.

Trouble is we have all these geniuses determined to prove how smart they are by making AI and drones, who seem to be in a rush to make this bleak future arrive as soon as possible.

I have done that, but it is sad giving most away and then watching the ones you kept die of disease when they get older.

I have had a dog, mice and cats in my life but I won't get anymore as it is too sad.

One of the T2 era comic books had this exact idea as the "recon sweep mode" for the T-Infinity (?)

Instead, we almost got Lance Hendricks.

The Pallas cats / manuls are too deadly even for a terminator.

The idea was to hunt one aim, not to start bloodbath on the very arrival.

Nobody would try to take this thing and find Sarah Connor to bring it.

They were thinking that there was a cyborg on board of Nostromo.

But Ash was just a decoy.

the cat is the real hero of that story. even the alien didn't want to mess with it.

I think you have just uncovered a well hidden secret. The whole movie was for Cat propaganda.

That is why in the second one Ripley says "Get away from her you female Dog", The Aliens represent the nemesis of the Cat, a Dog. Then Alien 3, a Dog shaped Alien running around killing the Cat loving prisoners.

And I bet that when they cloned Ripley in the 4th one they spliced in some Cat DNA to balance out the Dog DNA that was in Ripley, that is why she is so athletic and can play basket ball.

One roommate in the army did that to prove he was not drunk, he failed badly :) 
Sergeant was doing the round and  as it was pretty obvious we had been drinking he told us it was not legal to drink in the barracks. All but one.. Yes sir, main actor: I'm not drunk, I show you.

Apricots are mutated molluscs, growing on their colonies (known as "trees"), and being a sandwich inside.

They have soft meat around the shell, which in turn must be cracked to take out the tasty edible pearl.

And after cracking a basin of the shells, you get just a cup of the pearls.

Also kiwi fruits are actually kiwi eggs, they are just so weird they are sold as fruits.

bacon is a vegetable.

Back in medieval Europe the church had set some days you could not eat meat but fish was fine. 
One response was to day that animals who spend lots of time in water as fish, not only whales who make a bit sense but also stuff like beaver and ducks.

Crawfish, jellyfish, etc.

Looks like the medieval British knew a lot about the piety.

Btw, a pig likes to sleep in a pool. They could call it porkfish.

P.S.
Bacon is a philosopher.

My heart s in the Highlands by Robert Burns

Quote

Farewell to the mountains high cover’d with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods:

They had internet in XVIII century Scotland, Burns was tired of loud forums flood, and stopped using torrents.

That very sound. Nice to see it still works.

Btw. If change the dial-up sound frequency to the pipe bag range, sounds authentic.

Remember those 1 or 2 months when you couldn't say "crazy" without someone else replying "I was crazy once, they locked me in a room..."?

Weird how that happened and just stopped.

Having a shower and singing "Crazy" by "Seal" to myself.

"Oh we're never going to survive, unless, we are a little crazy..."

It stopped? Because my daughter keeps doing it. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Can I send her to you? Can you make it stop?

Using "person" as a neutral replacement for "man"/"woman" is as duplicitous as using "human".

While the "human" ignores the existence of "huwoman", the "person" ignores "perdaughter".

Also, this means that "chairperson" is a manism, too. As a woman should be "chairperdaughter".


P.S.
The hidden similarity between "Sun" and "son", "Moon" and "man" also raises some questions.
