What is my purpose? Self-driving robot toilet meme

This is a three-panel remix of the popular Rick and Morty butter robot meme. The first panel depicts the small butter robot from the show asking the question 'WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?'. The middle panel shows a shocked Rick Sanchez beside a screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) post from Dexerto, which announces a new self-driving robot toilet product unveiled in China: the device drives to a user's bed, washes and dries the user, then returns to its dock to self-clean, with an estimated cost of around $4,000. The final panel shows the butter robot reacting in horror with the text 'OH MY GOD', humorously implying that the robot's purpose is to function as the newly announced self-driving toilet, subverting the original meme's punchline where the robot is dismayed to learn its only purpose is passing butter.

Rick and Morty meme template, pairing it with a real 2024 social media post from Dexerto on X about an innovative but absurd self-driving toilet product. It was shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit as a comedic take on the unusual new household technology.

The second text block, attributed to 'America', responds: 'best I can do is shitty robots', using sarcasm to critique the prioritization of technology over basic human needs. Below the text is an image showing a real man in a black shirt standing next to a silver robot labeled 'SPOTROBOT', which appears to be a mechanical or robotic figure.

This meme uses a screenshot from the animated series *Rick and Morty* featuring three characters: Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, and a deadpan green alien. The top text reads "paying for Disney+ Netflix Prime Video and HBO Max", while the alien's dialogue is repurposed to say "Well that just sounds like cable with extra steps". The joke satirizes the modern trend of subscribing to multiple individual streaming services, pointing out that this model ultimately replicates the cost and inconvenience of traditional cable TV—just with more separate subscriptions and platform-switching hassle. It leverages the popular "X with extra steps" meme format originating from the show.

A meme GIF depicting a satirical take on future trends, combining two main elements: a tweet screenshot claiming 'Man will be having more sex with ROBOTS then women by 2025' from a 'Secrets.ai' profile (Skye from Austin, USA), and a humorous sequence of a man labeled 'How bro will be moving in 2026' riding a red motorcycle that transforms, causing him to fall off, followed by a woman in a red outfit appearing. The top comment from 'jeremy judkins' adds to the chaotic humor with 'I mix drinks, push button things interesting Im population collapse'. The meme mocks exaggerated future predictions about robot relationships and stereotypes of 'bro' behavior.

This is a 3-panel meme utilizing the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' reaction template. The first two left panels show the normal, smiling version of Mr. Incredible, paired with right-hand text stating that Google collects extensive personal user information: first that Google gets all of a user's data, then that Google knows a user's browser history, home address, and facial biometrics. The third left panel shows the distorted, uncanny, half-shadowed version of Mr. Incredible with an unsettling expression, paired with text stating that despite having all this deeply personal user data, Google still requires users to complete CAPTCHA verification checks to confirm they are not robots. The joke centers on the ironic contradiction between Google's vast, intrusive data collection capabilities and its apparent inability to distinguish human users from bots without additional verification steps.

This is a 3-panel reaction meme that uses an exasperated anime character template to highlight the ironic absurdity of Google's data practices. Across the three panels, the joke builds: first it states Google collects all of a user's personal data, then it adds that Google already knows the user's address, full browsing history, and even has facial data on the user, before ending with the punchline that Google still requires the user to complete a CAPTCHA check to prove they are not a robot. The character maintains a stressed, horrified, exasperated expression across all panels, matching the user's frustration with this contradiction.

The meme resonates with Reddit users who feel the system favors automated accounts over genuine human engagement.

In the top panel, Bender has an excited, happy expression with his hands on his cheeks, positioned next to the official 9Gag logo.

The meme ties to the original title question 'Are there even any people left?' implying that 9Gag has so few real human users left that it is effectively a platform exclusively for bots.
