I'm first in line. Fixes all my problems.

  • Physical Disability? Not anymore as the nanites fix shit and build implants to compensate.

  • Limited Resources? Nope. Don't gotta worry about whether I'd get to the food bank in time or what bills to pay now!

  • Loneliness? Literally impossible

  • Mental Health? No mental left to health.

SIGN ME UP SIR.

Theres a good chance most of us wouldn't be considered worthwhile drones, to be honest.

I would be broken down into nutrients instantly.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I believe in you, too!

Thank you for your sacrifice

I'd be OK with being turned into nutrients

Something something circle of life

At least I'd be useful for once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Still, at least I'd be useful for something

"A remarkable creature. Your design nearly passes as human."

"...I am human?"

"Ew! well, then you need to drink more water."

  • physical disability: that might just get you euthanized.
  • limited resources: again, I see euthanasia as a possible Borg solution.
  • loneliness: ever heard of being lonely in a crowd?
  • mental health: again, a malfunctioning drone would likely just get euthanized.

Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.

  • Physical Disability: I'm okay with that
  • Limited Resources: I'm okay with that
  • Loneliness: Painfully aware
  • Mental Health: I'm okay with that

Still a step up in all honesty.

Loneliness? Literally impossible

This is my sticking point. There's nothing better than the feeling of being alone in the house, at least for a little while.

Now if it came with a fully customizable virtual world where I could be alone if I wanted to, then I'd be down.

Isn't that just Unimatrix Zero?

[–] DarthBueller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well if I’m going to have to worry about the borg queen trying to crush Unimatrix Zero, forgettaboudit.

Alternatively: You have no distinctiveness that will augment our own, so we're going to liquefy you and feed you to the childborgs.

Better situation than what I got going

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

If I was accepted as a drone, it’d be fine by me. I’m so tired of worrying about everyday existence in the devolving hellscape of a world we now occupy.

But, if you have a physical disability, they don’t bother assimilating you I thought?
