Well that’s it, all hope for lowering unemployment is dead — somebody’s gone and invented a burger-making robot that’s going to put 95% of the teenage workforce permanently out of a job.
This machine, named “Burgeon” does it all — it makes the patties, grills the meat, toasts the buns and applies the toppings. It can make around 360 burgers an hour. I don’t have exact figures in front of me, but I’d say that’s at least triple the capabilities of even the most productive high school dropout.
Thankfully Burgeon is just a fairly standard looking food factory assembly-line machine, not a terrifying, red-eyed, T100-esque, burger flipping monstrosity. So, you know, you can still invite people over after you install one in your apartment.

Just wait til it starts learning at a geometric rate and becomes self-aware. I think I saw John Connor at the arcade…
I’m just waiting for someone to code a “Five Guys” program for it. Then I’ll just take up residence at the end of Burgeon’s conveyor belt for the rest of my life (which, to be fair, would probably be less than a week).
Will it make me a Luther?
But what will happen to all those teenagers? More time for late-night shenanigans, that’s what!

Yeah, but, how do they get the spit in there?
well great not only are robots that much closer to domination but now all the unemployed youth are gonna move to the sewers and help Bane take over our city. Science is just having a 2 for 1 sale on fucking us over.
They already have these, it’s called a woman. Zing!
