      As a Pacific Northwesterner who also loves to eat blackberries, I have found that there are tactics. I can handle some brambles pretty well.

      Raspberry thorns. Those are worse. They are so thin that they will go right through most leather gloves.

    I mean when I’m picking them, like 65% end up being eaten, 35% end up in the basket. I don’t imagine the clankers would eat that much.

    it can harvest my black berries…

    and by that i mean it can be used as an automated masturbation device to extract the semen via sexual stimulation from my genital region. implying that i wouldnt use it for its intended purpose, but for sexual ones, as a joke.

    on a subconcious level, this is a knee jerk reaction to a creeping feeling that humans are becoming more and more obsolete in the face of automation, and the horrific potentialities of what is yet to come.

    fuckin’ clankers!
