What comedic threats of violence might robots make when they don't really have orifices or produce vile waste products?

"I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down the hole" = hilarious human threat/insult. But a robot? Can't threaten to shit in anyone's mouth or piss in anyone's belongings.

Human: "You can shove that where the sun don't shine." Confused techfolk: "...Scotland?"

Silly thought: techfolk trying to understand the human concept of gender. They're robots and they don't really get it. They learn the term 'genderfluid' and assume it's a literal fluid that determines one's gender.

Robot hobbies

Presumably techfolk hobbies have some overlap with human hobbies (reading, knitting, board games, fencing, etc.). What hobbies might they have that are robot-exclusive, that a human couldn't do? Maybe it's fun to do certain types of calculations on their processors.

They could keep bees without worrying about being stung! I'm not sure what use a robot might have for honey or beeswax, but maybe they just think bees are neat.

(I mentioned this in a Discord chat, and someone told me that honey might have a practical application in neuromorphic computing!)
