To not know whether I'm a robot

I've had two horrendous migraines this week. Both coincidentally when Openreach killed all the internet and WiFi in the area.

I'm a robot aren't I? Skynet's already in control we just don't know we're amongst you. How do I ascertain I'm not a robot?

It's always the hot ones you have to watch out for. Battlestar Galactica taught me that. See if there's a wifi in your area called skynet. If you are granted access I'm going for robot.

See, only my BFF could ask me about any extra holes I have.

As an aside I renamed my phone skynet months ago and promptly forgot about it. I connected it to my pc last week and it flashed up "skynet wants to access your computer" I'd be lying if I didn't say I had a moment....Blush

We are AuntiMAIN and are holed up over in the Telly Addicts Threads where the real non robot life forms still hold sway. Come and join us. Password = Design Challenge was a fix

Can you try to sign up for a website, where they give those letters and numbers tests, then you'll know for sure?

I am a robot... I am a robot... exterminate.... exterminate

PenelopeNitStop · 06/02/2017 19:30

Maybe you're not a robot but are, in fact, addicted to Wifi and undergoing withdrawals (like caffeine withdrawals....the headaches.....bloody hell)?

There maybe a Wifi Anonymous somewhere.....maybe online....staffed by robots 🤖🤖

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 06/02/2017 19:31

Being serious though I've had migraines these last two weeks due to changing weather

PenelopeNitStop · 06/02/2017 19:31

*too many maybes on that post. Maybe I shall post more decisively in the future. Maybe....

It's simple really. Find yourself a very strong source of EM radiation. If it kills you, you're a robot.

HoneyDragon · 06/02/2017 19:42

Helena Grin I'd be the same.

I've not had a migraine in around twenty years and then two in a week. So approached what could be causing them logically.

See, it's definitely Wifi withdrawals Wink

Actually, I've had a stinking headache for about 10 days now. Thought it was some tablets the GP had put me on. Could it be atmospheric?

FaFoutis · 06/02/2017 19:49

It's a virus. I had it recently. The non-robot kind.

HoneyDragon · 06/02/2017 20:02

There is a virus that stealth ninja migraines you?

How rude.

I just asked Alexa if I'm a robot as I figured she should know. She responded

"I'm not sure what went wrong".

Honey there is a headache virus doing the rounds.

"I'm not sure what went wrong".

I KNEW IT!!!!

SpackenDeDoich · 06/02/2017 20:15

You need to get a better grip on real life. And I speak as a fan what got involved in that hidden MN thing.

Mirador · 06/02/2017 20:15

Nah HoneyDragon, you're not a robot, the migraines are a big clue

You're a traveller!

And it begins!

(silliness aside hope you feel better)

DoomGloomAndKaboom · 06/02/2017 20:16

HoneyDragon have you ever been left out in the rain and rusted?

No? You are not the tin man. And probably not a robot.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 06/02/2017 20:16

You might not be a robot. You have been abducted by aliens & had some kind of radio probe inserted in your brain while unconscious.

They could be spying on humanity through you & preparing to use you as a mouthpiece when they take over the Earth.

Actually I'm not sure that helps...

HoneyDragon · 06/02/2017 20:26

Real life? Real life?

I'll take the brain probe please.
