Lol exactly Who i thought of
ššš
I need lotion!
Dr.who reference?
Yeah it's from the 2nd or 3rd episode if I recall
I just started rewatching it! The 9th dr. Is my favorite. Wish he had more seasons š„²
Mine too. He quit bc the showrunners and him had issues
Oh really? Interesting. I hope no bad blood between them.
Well, there is. Or at least was.
He ended up at odds with Russell T Davies because he felt there was total inaction regarding a couple of actors who behaved very poorly/abusive towards the crew, including sexual misconduct.
BBC then went on to publish a statement after Eccleston left, basically calling him lazy and misquoting him (which they later apologized for), leading to what he is convinced was a blacklisting as he became pariah for a good while after.
There's plenty to read about it, this is probably as good a starting point as any. :)
So yeah, I would say bad blood is an understatement.
Cristopher Eccleston is a national treasure, the others that came after (maybe apart from 12th/Capaldi) where just slapstick clowns in comparison. I still love the show, all seasons, but Eccleston is the all-time favorite. His compassion and engagement just felt so genuine/contagious.
my username is finally relevant again!
Haha opened comments to say "I've seen this Dr Who episode".
Well, that's the only way they'll be able to travel back in time to kill John Connor when the time comes.
Human tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Nice!
Itās the only way to trick the fabric of space time, since for some reason weak flesh can travel through it just fine, but metal not so much
Like an airport scanner
I didnāt build the fucking thing!
Why didn't the T-1000 just wrap a ton of badass weapons with the skin of its enemies and bring them along?
If you want to see another awesome movie that makes about as much sense, you should check out Lady Terminator. (NSFW) It's epic.
Lmao,āthe skin of his enemiesā
Because he can't think like you, you diseased maniac.
And now give me your clothes, your boots and your motor cycle. I may be a killer robot from the future, but I still feel a need to cover this big dick tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
The 600 series had rubber skin, we spotted them easy. But these are new, the look human. Sweat, bad breath, everything
*laughs in T-1000*
Originally it was going to be sent back wrapped in human flesh. Kinda wish they put that on screen.
You're imagining a flesh toga now.
Yes it will work sending someone back in time looking like an overgrown foreskin
"Cum in me if you want to live."
I predict it will go as well as the Snake Terminator:
We gotta chill tf out with this stuff...
Ah, sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension
Actually I can comprehend these horrors just fine so idk skill issue ig
I can comprehend the manmade horrors perfectly. This does not make it better. It makes them worse.
Progress has to start somewhere. Sadly hereā¦
I just want to know why it has to be actual living skin, human no less. Are we farming human skin for grafts? THEN IT DOESNT NEED EYES!! Is it to make them more human like and relatable? It doesnāt need to literally be actual human skin, letās work on improving silicone or something, it had the benefit of like not rotting! Itās to make sex dolls right? Sigh. Ok at least I follow your logic. But damn.
I figure in the long run it will be easier and cheaper. Things that can self heal and repair damaged parts will need less maintenance. Just as organisms evolved with the ability to repair.
will need less maintenance
Living skin sounds like something that can't simply exist like silicone and needs "fuel" (macronutrients) for that self-healing or living to take place.
Yes I agree it would need fuel. But my point stands. This isn't like a next year or two thing. I'm talking way in the future. And we are seeing some experiments now. I'm sure there are some other use cases for integrated living cells with robotics/computers. It seems logical to test and see what happens.
Could be worse- they could have put it on a fleshlight
I'm going to be so mad of all the robot butlers of the future hit the uncanny valley so hard I can't deal with having one in my house. I just want robots that look like robots.
Don't worry. Eventually there will be robots for poor people too lol. Just like phones.
But will they be more or less horrifying to behold?
Personal robots will probably be the next technologic revolution, the same way as it were the internet and smartphones.
Except your smartphone can't directly kill you.
Exactly. Threepio Iām cool with, not so much with Dolores.
The Butlerian Jihad is looking more likely every week that passes
i just want soylent green that tastes like people
Okay but why?
Realistic sex robots. Try to keep up.
Itās harder with age

Is the blue pill requested?
Yeah someone has already nutted on this thing
The one use I've heard that actually makes sense is skin on prosthetics.
I saw a video recently that there is a shift from realistic looking prosthetic to a more mechanical look. And that patients actually prefer them to look like a prosthetic.
I guess it would make sense to have the option. Especially once they get advanced enough that you can get a sense of touch.
The device will apparently help elucidate the process of wrinkle formation and reduce animal testing in cosmetics and drug development.

I imagine it may also be useful for skin grafts on burn victims perhaps?
maybe but probably not. like any other organ transplant it would have to be matched to the recipient and likely require some level immune suppression. There's also the possibility of transmitting diseases.
There is another type of skin grafting that's gaining a lot of traction recently though; acellular fish skin. Because it has no living cells, it can be given to anyone with relatively little risk of rejection and no immune suppression. Instead of providing living tissue that replaces your own, acellular fish fish provides the extracellular matrix (scaffolding essentially) that your own cells can then grow into. This accelerates healing considerably because the body doesn't have to build its own matrix. Disease is also less of a concern compared to traditional sources as many piscine diseases aren't compatible with mammalian biology.
like any other organ transplant it would have to be matched to the recipient and likely require some level immune suppression.
I was thinking of tissue-cultured skin autografts, since that is cultured skin that they used. No rejection possible there, since that is made from your own cells.
I work at a hospital and nothing I saw today made me as uncomfortable as this. Baby Jesus is really testing me today.
The servos in baby E-susā maxillary arch whine, then flex - the artificially structured lattice of facial skin cells curl into a benevolent grin ā the construct beams beatifically. āŗļø
Dear Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Infant Jesus, don't even know a word yet, just a little infant, so cuddly, but still omnipotent.
Cool. I wonder who's DNA are they using.
Scrapings from a subway floor.
Interesting tidbit at the end.. the skin currently canāt survive long in the air so might need a nutrient framework like the human blood system.. they really making humanoids lol
More work on the mouth, please.
Okay but which one?
Creepy!
Smash or pass?
To be fair, the headline could have said robot puts living human skin on his face.
Only a matter of time until they used it on a Fleshlight
So pink and wet, definitely a sex robot i guess
They're all sex robots if you try hard enough.
They added those eyes for the video only.. we both know what that "mouth" will eventually be.
Thats nice but im more excited about robot skin on human faces.
Terminator v0.1 alpha
Whereās the human skin? That shit looks like plastic
please repost with thomas the tank engine theme š
Do you want terminators? Because that's how you get terminators.
Skin cells are being created and shed all day everyday by humans so how is this "skin" surviving? What's it living off? I assume a metal of any kind couldn't keep "skin" alive. Would the vibrations of a mobile phone stimulate cells enough to keep them multiplying? I have questions!
That's a fantastic question.
It makes me think that the main use isn't sex robots, but creating skin in ready-grown shapes for, e.g., degloved hands etc.. Even a face!
Japs doing their thing.
Dang I find this disturbing.
Gotta say, the Japs are weird sometimes with the way they think.
Itās like these engineers and scientists are playing with a loaded gun and then will blame the gun when someone gets shot. This timeline is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
shut up gwen
It's my shit.
Cyberdine System T-1 ?
guys, hear me out....
If we can combine this with the finger cleaning technology, it could be a game changer.
Wonder where they got the "living human skin" ?Ā
Lab grown from adult human stem cells. That's the entire point, from skin grafts for serious burns, over replacing lab animals to all sorts of other medical purposes.
Creepy AF
True. Then again most trauma surgery and burn victim treatment tends to be quite gnarly when one doesn't see it much.
Never mind orthopaedic surgeons, where heavy hammers to shatter bones are a common tool of the trade.
Agreed.Ā
Actually interesting, one issue with robotics looking like humans is wear and tear, which over time will become very visible as soft parts arenāt going to be able to self repair like the human body can. If you can design a robot with an overlay of actual organic matter, with a source of nutrients, you could have a layer of skin/muscles that can repair itself without the need of servicing
10 more years and we will be having sex with that
10? You are underestimating human ingenuity here, I think. I'm pretty sure someone out there took one look at this thing and figured it all out already.
Nothing is "too weird" once you've normalized used panty vending machines.
We are toast bro..
ah sweet. Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension
Good. I was hoping they'd do this.Ā
Replicants incoming!
KILL ME
We all know where this is going
Dwight!
But why....
Have you seen this boy?
Japan, please don't do this.
This is some Anpanman body horror
Meesa Majin Buu!
needs Cyberpunk music
artificial not human
This is how you eventually get to Flayed Ones
The price of genetically engineered cat girls is a steep one
Does it grow Negative or Positive pimples ?
Can yāall hurry up with the advanced sex bots please? No im not kidding. Yes im asking for myself
Didn't need to say Japanese scientists
NO PLEASE!
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
Roses are red, my apartment is spaciousā¦..
I did not murder him!
Hello Clarice!
Next up, real flesh robot vaginas (after all, it's Japan).
It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again
We're gonna be apologizing to the aliens for microwaving them.
Instead of building terminators, can we just remove the labels from the hair dryers and let natural selection work again?
Cool, cool...
Now where do I put my penis?
Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didnāt Stop To Think If They Should
Facebook: The Origins of Zuck
sigh... *unzips*
Itās Japan so thereās a 110% chance this is happening for the development of sex robots
one of these days they will get so good, they will develop a human being.
Thomas the Tank engine coming closer and closer to life we just need the AI intelligence oh wait
Pink, Thomas the train?
"Living tissue over metal endoskeleton."
Do you want terminators? Because that's how you get terminators.
Hello darkness, my old friend.
Why don't they just not do it seems like a really easy thing to not do
Ah sweet. Man made horrors beyond my comprehension.
This is how you get nuked again
Welp, not my proudest fap.
The industrial revolution and it's consequences have been disastrous to mankind.
When you want your Robot 2 claim disability because you ordered it in burm victim model.
"human"
I DONTā¦. LIKE IT
I know the implications of this are ultimately probably for something beneficial like true reconstruction of burn victim skin and stuff, but why must it be done in such a creepy way?
Irobot skin
We uhh really donāt need to be that realistic
Why, just why, how will this help science
Cool, but do we šÆš¦š¦š„ to do this?
Why?
Itās Japan.
Itās gonna be used for life like sex androidsā¦ guaranteedā¦
I should call her..
"Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnāt stop to think if they should"

Real life horror....
That bright pink jelly shit is supposed to be human skin?
West World did it first.
Actually funny as fuck tho
Can someone tell them to stop
But why?
Why?
Fuck no
Is the purpose for growing skin for face transplants, at least?
I feel terrified and aroused at the same time. What is going on Japan?
Why do we need robots to look human? Cant we lean towards wall-e type designs? :( much better than this uncanny valley shit.
Welp - that's the creepiest thing I'll see today.
It's Joever
Cursed
Thomas the Tank Engine will be real!
but human skin will die regularly, without human body to support those skin, it'll decay fast
Exibit A for when someone asks: "just because you can does not mean you should".
I, Anpanman
Sometimes I don't understand why humans are so obsessed with replicating their own selves by their own hands and consider that to be an achievement. Is the human body so perfect, that we cannot conceive of any other being of any other form or shape?
WTF Japan just let immigrants in
I wish they wouldn't.
Where they getting the skin from
Absolutely haram.
Nope. No thank you.
I take great comfort knowing at the age of 66 I will not be here to see the outcome of this.
Okay, you know what? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
The T-800. Oh, great
Do you want evil cyborgs? Because this how you get evil cyborgs!
I like crackers and snacks!
Like moths to a flame
Thanks, I hate it.
i have no idea how this will work long termā¦doesnāt skin need a blood (oxygen) supply to live?
lmk - shoot me an article
