Sounds like the synopsis of The Forever Winter. Great setting for that game.
“At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus“
Mankind is dead. Blood is fuel. Hell is full.
There’s a whole video game series on why this is a terrible idea. (Horizon Zero Dawn)
I really like those games. I just don’t want to be a character in them.
the orphan crushing machine is complete
finally…
I read it as "robot that can eat orgasms for fuel. My version is better.

iirc this was just an engine that could run on most combustible hydrocarbons, a small gas turbine and some elaborate digestion setup I seem to remember, and the press really stretched a badly worded explanation of how it worked into ‘it eats corpses’. Which is fair, humans are mostly made from tasty biomass, but still.
edit: here’s a couple sources about it, it sounds like it does indeed run on vegetable biomass.
The photo, however, shows search and rescue robots.
“EXTERMINATE!”
Ooo, I think I’ve seen this one
It’s called EATR.

Screamers was about these war robots that became self aware and began killing not just because you were an enemy soldier but because they could use your body parts to lubricate their gears. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114367/

I actually hope this is fake

Although several people in the replies have pointed out the actual truth behind this post, (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot)
I do think this qualifies as misinformation. Given what happened on most other social networks, I can’t help feeling uneasy even though it’s a stupid joke post.
Awww I wanted it to gurgle blood in its wood chipper/mouth/head removal proboscis while it giggled through its speakers and says I Bring You Love, you know to attract more fuel.
It’s been a trying day.
