Explaining ADEPTUS MECHANICUS To My Girlfriend

Sorry to anybody who was watching this episode earlier and suddenly it was removed! There was an issue where the last 20 minutes were cut due to an export error. Fixed now! Praise the Omnissiah!!! :_WAAAGH:

HOW DARE YOU CALL ME ''NON-BINARY''! IM ONLY BINARY! that killed me with laughter, peak comedy

"So are you a boy or a girl." "I am a member of the machine cult." "What are you attracted to?" "Knowledge." "Whats underneath your robe." "A USB port."

"sir, this is a prosthetic company, we cant replace a functioning arm." "*from the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh*"

Sounds like we also heard a promo for "Explaining Digimon to my boyfriend"

My fav tech priest line in the Rouge Trader game: “Why does everyone keep saying ‘cog’ to me as an insult? A cog is one of the most blessed pieces of the omnissiah’s works and I would gladly be compared to it” That and the other tech priest who basically says “other people = mental anguish”

Kari-"1101100010110, if anyone speaks binary what did I say?" She said Ø

I like the way that I’ve heard the mechanicus ritual development coming from a lack of understanding of the technology over time, like instructions passed down from adept to adept so that they way to remember the process is a ritual

I want to note: Not all Servators are vats grown. There is in fact a huge industry in the Imperium that mass produces them on an industrial scale. It is mentioned briefly in one of the books. Yes it is horrifying.

My favorite Cal story: Person helping revive Guillman, "isnt this tech highly heretical to the mechanicus?" Cal: "Haha... yeah..."

"Here's two of them kissing!" BONG Took me a second, then I scared my fiancee laughing too hard... XD

(Archon of flesh enters the chat.) Who's ready for techpriests in thigh highs

Fun fact: The leader of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Fabricator-General Oud Oudia Raskian is the size of a building.

"Gunz iz brainz if you get enuff weirdboyz in em"

Fun fact, if the servitors now are all vat grown they weren't always. Not sure if the veracity of the claim that they're vat born, but I've been working through the horus heresy and there is a short story that was in it following an entire population naked and being forced through enormous lines where the mechanicus checked for their compatibility as servitors. Those incompatible were sent into contraptions that rendered their flesh into nutrient paste to be fed to servitors. Those that were compatible were sent through chemical baths to be stripped of all hair and then clamped onto operating tables to have the appropriate bits of flesh removed, the correct lobotomies performed, and the right mechanical grafts for their servitor model, all without anesthesia because why would you waste painkillers on servitors.

Guardsman, flirting badly: You got a pleasure stick in that rig? Tech Priest, withdrawing USB: YES!

It is I the world eater known as gitgud. Just know I always ask my opponents permission before doing anything, including screaming for those with sound sensitivities! However I am very hyper at competitions. Great podcast!

FUN FACT CLARIFICATION: Mars DOES have a metallic core but it is no longer spinning like Earth’s does which is why Mars doesn’t have an atmospherec magnetic field. Isn’t that super interesting!? Space is so cool!! Big shoutout to @corycampbell7172 and his son for pointing this out! ❤

They do the dippy sticky flippy with sacred lubricant oils. Those are safe for electronics.

Funny Mechanicus story. At one point, a tech priest found a derelict ship floating in space. They board it and OOPS it is an AI. The tech priest along with their subordinents started doing prayers with incence and all that. The AI laughed at them and called them fanatics. Then, just because it could, the AI took control of all the Skitarii the tech priest had and spoke through them all.
