The Robot Collected Liquid for 3 Years?

This is an artwork from China called ,Can't Help Myself. and It has been trying to collect a liquid for the last three years but has never succeeded. Actually, it is still trying to pull this liquid towards itself, but it has never succeeded. It started to run and fight, but slowly its speed diminished. Many people who saw it were shocked. They said that we are like the robot, trying to help ourselves all our lives but often failing. The robot stopped running in 2019.

Fun fact: the robot is actually electronic and doesn’t run off of hydraulic pumps, meaning that it didn’t need the hydraulic oil, instead it was programmed to pull the oil to itself for no reason

Nah bro they made a robot that is programmed to torture itself

[mykie]

Little fact, when the robot eventually died they renamed it from “can’t help myself” to “couldn’t help myself”

"It's still trying." "The robot stopped running in 2019."

The Scooper from Fnaf: Sister Location, is now cleaning the floors.. wow

[NRDYGGGLES]

It used to “bleed” a lot slower at first and could clean it up easily, and when it did it would do little happy dances and stuff. But the more the liquid got out, the less time the robot had to do anything other than cleaning it up again

“It’s still trying to pull it today”
Wait I thought it stopped working in 2019

[Yes_]

"What is my purpose?"
"You try to clean oil for no reason."
"Oh my god."

[sillylittlegoob]

[couchpotato]

What is my purpose?

China: "We need to torture something"

Also China "ok we make machines that exist to torture itself"

[princeswisher]

“Still running to this day” “stopped running in 2019”

[MrsLPAmy]

honestly, always thought the symbolism of the art piece was how unnecessary war or something was. that it sheds more and more blood and while trying to stop it with more blood shed, it will never stop.

"Actually, it is still trying to pull this liquid towards itself!"

"The Robot stopped running in 2019"
