7 Sure Signs The Robot Apocalypse Is Already Here

Who will be left to click the "I'm Not A Robot" boxes? Nobody, that's who. Hold on to your sweet pre-'pocalypse memories, friends. HBO's Westworld is back with a vengeance on April 22nd. (Note: This is for the LA Rotational Fellowship.)

1. Gather 'round, human BuzzFeed readers. Do you remember the days before the 'bots took over?

They made comedies on amazing "VHS technology."

2.

They were so easy to outrun.

3.

And this was what driverless cars looked like.

4. But then... THE 'BOTS GOT WOKE.

5. Let's take a look at 7 signs we should have spotted that Earth was about to get a system update.

6. It started small: Robots just started acting kinda like dicks, TBH.

Not cool, robot. Not cool.

7. We tried to fight f̶i̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶e̶ dodgeball with dodgeball. But the balance had already shifted.

Meet Atlas, developed by the Pentagon. NICE MOVE, PENTAGON.

8. All of a sudden, driverless cars started parallel parking better than you.

This is a form of magic, basically.

9. How were we not tipped off by the robots' sudden interest in athletic training?

We should have screamed. Instead, we all made the same "Run, forest, run" joke.

10. Or their ability to do mothereffing backflips?!

"Raise your hands if you're about to exterminate humanity."

11. We really should have known something was wrong when Tokyo's Henn-Na Hotel opened with an all-robot staff, and they literally looked like dinosaurs.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." - The Prophecies of Jeff Goldblum

12. And finally, by the time robots infiltrated the highest levels of government, it was too late.

Et tu, Obama?

13. What's that? You don't want to live with robot overlords?

Ah, well. At least it'll be entertaining. Whether you're a human, robot, or something more mysterious, don't miss Westworld, back with new episodes April 22nd.
