Am I the only one having an aneurysm trying to read this meme text? I haven't had coffee yet so I could just be firing on 1.75 cylinders

Yeah, it's fucked.
The worst (most profound) part about this art piece is that it runs on electric servos, not hydraulic cylinders. It doesn't actually even need the hydraulic fluid, it's just programmed to "think" that it does.
Ha so it’s a lie too? Every time I see this pieced referenced for humanizing non human things I say “fuck that robot” I ain’t feeling bad for a piece of metal and plastic and no amount of low level philosophy will make me. Fuck that robot. If it actually had hydraulics give me a pair of snips I will finish the job.
What is this machine?
It’s an art installation. The idea is that the machine slowly leaks hydraulic fluid. So it works to squeegee it back up towards its base, so it can remain operational.
At first, it was a cute little art installation. The machine worked well and barely leaked. It would take time in between scoops to dance for the crowd or rest. But over time, as the machine aged and the leaks got worse, it had to shift more and more towards scooping up the hydraulic fluid. It changed from a cute dancing robot to a haunting metaphor. It desperately worked to keep the fluid contained, all the way up to the point that it broke down.
When it finally broke down, it was revealed that it ran on electric stepper motors, and didn’t even need the hydraulic fluid.
Fuck thats grim
It's interesting how often I see memes here that require knowing so much non-obvious context to understand.
Anyway, that sounds like a really cool art installation. Anyone know the name of it?
It's an art installation. I don't remember the exact details, but it's something like it's constantly leaking red lubricant and is programmed to try to scoop it up to survive a little longer.

It's an art installation of a robotic arm perpetually sweeping a liquid towards its base

I've seen this machine, doesn't make much sense as a still image. Too lazy to look up a gif or video so i'm just leaving this one star review.
Thats the point. Not a single redditor on r/memes can get this image.
You only just figured this out? It's always been about reducing wages .. or said differently, how to get richer than the other members at your country club.
"How can I out-suck my parasitic peers?"
This text doesn't make sense, right?
So that’s what trump’s ketchup-flinging room looks like
Ketchup flinging room?
The room where he flings ketchup. I don't see why clarification is needed.
Where he throws his daily man-child temper-tantrums whilst eating McDonald’s
