In all those movies about robots becoming human and trying to take over the world why didn’t anyone think about just throwing them all in the laundry and washing the human out of them? Think about it, you wash your clothes to get all the human-ness out, the body odour, the hair and skin cells and of course the actual dirt of everyday living. Why wouldn’t it work for robots too, assuming you had enough laundry soap?
My recollection of most movie robots is that they didn’t wear clothes! So it might be difficult to wash a basketful of metal parts.
