Single-panel comic. A brown-haired woman holding a wrench greets a large boxy robot with red eyes and a yellow grille, asking if it is "Electro-Mat 5-Billion." The robot confirms it answered her online dating inquiry. When she asks it to tell her about itself, it says it is programmed to feel only true perfect love or pure unbridled hatred. She gushes that the way it said that was so lovely, and as she starts to thank it, the robot abruptly switches to rage and screams, "SHUT YOUR FACE YOU UGLY WHORE!!!" The joke is the robot's instant flip from romantic to viciously hostile. Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten caption reading "Later, Electro-Mat became Twitter."
