    This is demonstrating trust in each other as much as trust in the equipment.

    Oh sorry, it was set to ‘peel’!

    It does look like a very human solution

      It’s like commercials for women’s razors, the hair is taboo

    This picture won’t leave my feed and dang if it isn’t a little odd.

    Not just true of “men”, who doesn’t want a nuclear shave, aside from the obvious health benefits

    Edit, the caption implies this is a hyper-precise robot, no nukes or AI involved directly

    I cannot imagine that this was necessary. Peeling a banana would be just fine, but no, let’s put a colleague’s life on the line.

      Doesn’t look like a razor blade so they’re probably fine.

          Yeah. I.e. not an actual razor blade.

          A razor blade is one of those Sweeny Todd things.

          Edit: I guess they are called straight razors, actually. My bad.
