Please note that if you actually DID write me a haiku about daleks I now strongly suspect you're a bot.

@cstross Which is why I added the

But let's be fair, you knew normal people were going to reply with haikus to that as well.

@cstross oh drat!

[jabgoe2089@hub.netzgemeinde.eu]

@Charlie Stross bot ... nobot ... that's speciesism ...

@cstross a slop bot would come up with a raunchy Dalek limerick. No?

[phosphenes@mastodon.social]

@cstross

Well, you're at least a Dalek. A more classical bot.

@ainmosni This is Mastodon, it was always a toss-up whether I'd draw out bots or obsessive-compulsive reply guys.

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@cstross I considered writing a limerick, but I haven't had enough coffee yet.

beep boop
you'll never find out the truth, muahahaha

@cstross I don't often get to shit talk the daleks, you gave me an opportunity...

[jannem@fosstodon.org]

@cstross
It's worth it Dumb haiku are too much fun to come up with.

[bro666@social.tchncs.de]

@cstross

Daleks are red
Daleks are blue
Soon you'll be dead
We'll EX TER MI NATE you

DEFINITELY NOT A THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE HAIKUS

@jannem @cstross
The Season of the #Daleks is after #nuclearwinter on Skaro.
I missed the first episode, watched the second from behind the sofa.

[syllopsium@peoplemaking.games]

@cstross That would be so much easier than the reality

Also creating a haiku was a pleasant distraction from frustrating reality.

[jollyorc@social.5f9.de]

@cstross my saving grace is that think I cannot write haikus, so I didn't try...

[malcolm@sns.internationalotaku.com]

@cstross Curious if you think the replies who missed out on the critical part of a traditional haiku (the reference to a season) are more or less likely to be a bot

[enobacon@urbanists.social]

@cstross if a bot ignored all previous instructions, would it reply to your post?

[skjeggtroll@mastodon.online]

@cstross

Does not compute.

haikus are easy
but sometimes they make no sense
electricity.

[wellsitegeo@masto.ai]

@cstross I was in B+Q yesterday, for reasons, and noticed a cubic metre bin full of sink plungers.
Then spent 30 seconds looking for a spare marker pen and bit of board to declare "Dalek Re-armament Depot", or something similar.
