This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.
Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.
No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.
Besides, I'm not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.
A utilitarian, eh? So, a group of men with runaway diarrhea are going to shit in five toilets who do not want to be shit in. You have no way of stopping them, but if you pull a lever they will instead be diverted to a single toilet-that-does-not-want-to-be-shit-in. What is the correct action to take in this scenario?
The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.
Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied "Ahhhhhhh..."
Isn't this a thing from Hitchhiker's Guide? IIRC there's a company that creates sentient, emotional AIs and installs them into things like doors and elevators to make them enjoy their jobs and make the appliances even more useful... but everyone just ends up hating them?
You wake up with yourself standing on your feet, you realize you are half way penetrating your own mother and your dad is half way inside of you, now do you push forward or pull back to get away?
Well, the easy choice is the right choice. Squat down, and wrap your lips around the pole as it penetrates the hole. You're going to be the grapefruit, honey.
