    Have more babies though.

    Your owners need your kids to be exploited into an early, miserable grave to run up their nepo kid’s ego scores. The doting ones at least, the owners toss kids that don’t become little nepo clones of themselves as bad investments.

    Luxury climate bunkers are boring, are you really going to deprive a future billionaire child that matters the joy of watching line go up powered by your worthless peasant offspring’s life force, you monster?

    Maybe stop being so selfish and think about what you can do to further enrich your betters. Priorities, my fellow batteries, priorities!

      The batteries analogy in the Matrix was bad and originally it was that the machines used humans as bio-computers, which makes a lot more sense.

        I’m aware, that’s my Fandom, I know the lore intimately.

        Being a “battery” is in the vernacular though, and most understand what a capital battery means.

        I even see the Architects nod to the supposed answer requiring a “lesser mind” albeit a more human curious mind in the oracle was a nod to that original idea the studio mandated the Wachowskis change, from bioprocessors to batteries. Would have worked on so many levels, even with the machines falling victim to repetition loop breakdowns without processing from imperfect minds, but that was on the Studio, the writers were vocal they didn’t like the change, which makes it easy for me to look beyond.
