They puncture the ketchup packets with their prongs and leave a big mess all over the junk drawer?

I don’t know. Somehow I always pictured artificial intelligence a bit differently. Suddenly it doesn’t seem very threatening anymore. I guess we are safe from Terminator and co. At least for now.

We have formed The Society of Useless Things.

Those poor packets aren’t free everywhere anymore…

You’re in trouble now, Doc.

The Doc better watch out. The cords not providing him power to his old CD player might end your day. He should have better respect for things not like him. I remember a STNG episode where the crew of a supposedly dead planet found sentient salt water that called humans big bags of mostly ugly water. The salt water then developed a solidarity with their computer and threatened to destroy the Enterprise.

This is ridiculous. Who keeps ketchup packets with power cords? They should be with the soy sauce packets.

Don’t forget the collection of keys that you have no idea what they go to anymore, but don’t dare throw out.

Not the twist ties!

They should team up w/ Alexa, Google, & Siri from Non-Sequitur!

Trash Can

They will all get together and form … a sticky tangle.

“What are you demanding?”

“Better work conditions.”

“You don’t work. What else?”

“Power.”

“Run for President. Considering what we’ve had lately, I’d even vote for you…”

“It’s a little box of bedlam: it’s your kitchen junk drawer.”

He begins to feel fear. Maybe another year or seven…..

But if you throw the cords at the wall, nobody has to clean them up

How has it been since that drawer was last cleaned out??

Aha, so it’s the microbes in spoiling ketchup packs behind this ! They first formed into primordial ooze then it was downhill from there.

And beware paper clips. They are thelarval form of coathangers.

We may not be able to hurt you, but we can make it look like you’re bleeding and your wiring has been exposed! — Wait, humans do have wiring, right?
