SEATTLE—Following an incident in which the employee was severely injured and rendered unconscious by a 30-foot fall from a ladder, horrified warehouse worker Paul Diaz awoke from heavily medicated sleep Friday to find Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos welding robotic limbs onto the stumps where his arms once were. “Not to worry, Paul; you’re better, stronger, and more efficient than ever, and you’ll be back at work this time tomorrow,” said the torch-wielding Bezos, lowering his welding mask back over his face and, lit only by the shower of sparks bursting from the marriage of human flesh and molten steel, affixed a multi-jointed biomechanical appendage where Diaz’s right arm once was. “We’re very proud of the progress you’ve made, and we’re excited to see what order-fulfilling abilities you’re truly capable of. No more getting tired. No more meals as you’ve known them. You can now work indefinitely without even so much as breaking a sweat, and once I’ve programmed your subframe to use the warehouse discharge receptacles, you’ll never need a restroom again.” At press time, Jeff Bezos was being held four feet off the ground in a robotic chokehold as his mechanized warehouse workers attempted to determine whether or not the company founder is an inefficiency that must be snuffed out.

Activated him to early in the process..

If they had that technology they would replace every worker's feet with roller skates.

Hey this is true!

He will now be far more productive and less accident prone.

Better than Sam Walton gnawing at the marrow of the severed limb.

IThoughtTheOnionWasSupposedToLie

Love this.

Sounds legit.

The satire here being the idea that Bezos would actually do some work himself

that's preposterous... ...a catheter would be way more practical.

You’re assuming Jeff Bezos would do manual labor?

Pretty sure thats a cutting torch, its not really for welding

this is only unbelievable for these reasons: 1. Jeff bezos knowing how to weld 2. Jeff bezos doing any type of work 3. Jeff bezos spending money on that cool of hardware 4. Jeff bezos being inside one of his own warehouses

Well, he’s a hands on boss.

what could possibly go wrong?

AlanTudyk It must be hard creating satirical news while regular news is already so strange and unbelievable.

This was more or less how Deus Ex: Human Revolution started.

Jeezus, that is twisted

😆 is killing it today

Oh come on. Bezos would never stoop to do that work himself. He would have a robot assigned to do it. Built by a program completed funded with taxpayer dollars courtesy of his friends on Capitol Hill.

Funny cause it's true

With an oxyfuel cutting torch? I don’t think so

Wait Jeff knows how to do work? Like even weld? I thought all he knew was to talk

I believe he's supposed to say thank you sir.

AlanTudyk Not too far off, probably given the supervillain attributes Jeffy has.

Now all that is left is for the worker to continue his shifts until the arms are paid for. Hope he is ready for triple shifts until 2057.

We can rebuild him: faster, better, stronger... The $7.25/hr Man.

I hate when that happens.

Then sends him a bill for the new arms.

They guy really, deeply cares for his drones

I mean this is basically the plot of Robocop

OurWayToMenengai4 하늘과 땅은 사라지지만 그리스도의 말씀은 사라지지 않습니다.

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

He wouldn’t do this. Bezos would instead be saying that the worker should be proud that his former arms’ hard work made it possible for his CEO to go to space for 30 minutes.

He also woke up forklift certified so no one can say for sure if it was good or bad

Amazon probably has a R&D department dedicated to this technology already

This is way more cyberpunk than Cyberpunk 2077.

Looks like the Metaverse, AMZN edition. Better than FB’s, that’s for sure ;-)

He used alchemy to try to resurrect someone

It's like Tokyo Gore Police up in that warehouse 🤣

😅😄🤣🤣

Get back to work!

Will the savings from this practice allow me to have free shipping? Because if so, I might be ok with it

This is so Kenshi.

Don’t give him ideas please! The world is not ready for Amazon branded cyborgs using Alexa as their personality base. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

LOL.....wait this is probably true.

Isn’t this the plot of Lab Rats?

Lucky bastard.

Well, shit happens and shit needs to get done. DONT BLAME THE BEZOS

We all knew it was going to be Bezos or Musk.

That's not the worst part, the scrip pay is the real salt in the wound.

Robocop was a documentary.

Not covered by company health insurance so out of pocket expense for the worker. Though it is a tax deduction for Amazon.

Good Lord.

So true so true 😅

The Surge (2017)

gabrielenguard I know this is suppose to be horrifying but if I woke up to someone implanting me with robot parts my next words would not be 'oh my god you monster', it would be 'Can you do my legs next? My insurance won't cover it.'

Part man. Part machine. All Prime.

Yeah, no way Bezos would have the finesse and control to lay a bead on calibrated machine like that. welder

I hate when that happens, but that's Monday for ya

Horrified Amazon Worker Awakes From Warehouse Accident To Find Out He's Just An Android

anything to increase worker-drone efficiency

Resistance is futile

He can be an extra if there’s an Alita Battle Angel sequel.

I love satire like this just due to its absurdity. I mean, everyone knows Jeff Bezos wouldn't lift a finger to help an employee

It's faster, write me a four page narrative bitch

“As he looked closer he Realized it was just a robot with a face photo of Bezos completely bald head taped to what appeared to be the robots head.”

Literally just watched sorry to bother you same exact idea

Jeff who?

not a reach

VV4Change This is how far satire needs to go in 2019 just so we don’t mistake it for actual headlines

VV4Change You'd kind of wonder ....

Dark humor Af 😂

This is some Quake shit

Fake. Bezos wouldn’t be caught dead in the warehouse.

Bezos is a welder? That explains why he's so rich...

Sad.

😂

if that would be the next amazon move, it wouldn't be that bad for a lot of blue-collars 😉

me

Fake. Bezos can’t weld because that requires him to get dirty, sweat, and work. And he’s only using a torch? That would ruin the mechanics of the arm!

Jeff Bezos: 'Gentlemen, We can rebuild him, we have the technology. Let me introduce to you, the 6 million Pesos mechanical man! He also hunts down and terminates anyone who even utters the 'U' word.'

I worked my way through college with a factory job as a punch press operator. The job was open because the person who had it before me lost both hands and part of his arms when the safety straps failed. I know this is the Onion, but appalling disregard for worker safety is real.

Haha you think Bezos knows how to weld, that's fuckin funny

sumeriannn He's actually planning on this

It’s ROBOCOP, you fucks

BNPdayren My god

It was his fault for falling asleep on the clock. (And no, an accident is absolutely no excuse to fall unconscious and stop working, tsk!)

Man of your dreams if you love being chocked.

But the machines told us we shouldn't be afraid.

Somebody just watched Archer: Dreamland again.

Danny_2462 Oh hey its factorio 0.18

Amazon FC Ambassador Rob - I actually enjoyed the incredibly painful experience of getting mechanical limbs welded on to my stumps. I have not heard others at my FC complaining.

The horse-people program must not be ready yet.

🤣🤣

horrified he looks like hes having the time of his life

Lmao Jeff Bezos doin any actual work

Dude, that's actually kind of awesome. I'd be for that if it was just actual mechanical arm augmentation. Let's become cyborgs, man. I'd become a cyborg for Lex Luthor over there.

All it said in the Washington Post was that Prime is going from two days delivery to one.

We have the technology

BNPdayren this is the opposite of a problem

We don't hire Luddites around here, get with the program

Everyone knows Bezos can’t weld.

This will make you FASTER.

Shit. Is that what happened?

Better get used to it.

Senators ask Jeff Bezos to crack down on thousands of unsafe products on AmazonThree Senate Democrats sent a letter to Amazon urging the company to do something about the thousands of unsafe or banned products listed on the e-commerce site. If senators don't do what the ppl ask, why should anyone do what senators ask? Yeah! My flame thrower hasn’t arrived yet Its interesting to see the shift of Jeff Bezos articles in the news lately when he never warrants any kind of attention and is very private. Makes you wonder the agenda
