what does the term w.h.o. mean in fan fiction? is it talking about doctor who, because that’s all i could find when i looked it up

Was going to make breakfast and found this in my partner's kitchen...wtf. We have successfully taken a device that can (and should) last 20+ years with a simple heating element and a spring, and turned it into a piece of disposable tech.

This thing has an entire display thing with a clock and a wallpaper and a weather report. and will be in a landfill the moment the manufacturer stops supporting the OS

this is our 2nd one btw. I know because our helper told me that the toaster was acting out and I wondered why a toaster would act out it’s just so absurd. That one was about maybe a year old and used sparsely since we aren’t even home most of the time. so wouldn’t say it’s very up in the durable department. and one of the worst kind of waste too. E-waste :(

Edit: I'm not trying to gatekeep anything. I just posted this somewhere else and it's a rule to cut out the brand names (because of ADs and stuff) and I just posted the same pic.

When Eggman released the Metal Virus... what exactly was his idea? ...To turn everybody into zombots and just be done with it?

Sure, you might interpret it as a "last resort" after he just lost a war and got his amnesia undone. But that doesn't cut it.

Once he succeeded in turning the entire world into zombots... what was he going to do next? Just chill in his base and watch them all run around aimlessly as zombots forever? He wouldn't even have been able to walk anywhere properly!

He, in fact, knew very well he was risking turning even himself into a zombot!

Genuinely, what was the plan for how he'd continue his life? He wouldn't be able to go anywhere to shop for groceries, or for materials for his new machines, etc.

This was basically a tantrum gone way too far. (And sure, you might say this for all of Eggman's invasions... but this was different. Like, way, way, different.)

After all, in the Casefiles (which happened later), that same Eggman said that if you were to literally destroy the whole world, there would be nothing left for you to rule. That's crazy rich coming from the guy who created his own plague, don't you think?

Neo Metal Sonic, on the other hand...

If I'm not mistaken, the writers of IDW did say in an interview that the main inspiration for the Metal Virus were those fake metal skins from Sonic Heroes. Y'know, a game where the main antagonist was Neo Metal Sonic.

And the way he obtained all the characters' lifeform data was by disguising himself in that shiny silver goo, to trick each team into thinking they successfully defeated an Eggman robot.

After all, did you see how Froggy and Chocola emerged from that liquid at the end of Team Rose's story?

Most importantly, Neo Metal Sonic seems a lot more, than Eggman does, like someone who could actually easily find great use of the zombots, at least for himself.

He, being a robot, couldn't turn into a zombot, on top of that!

Everyone being turned into zombots is something he could see as the whole world being perfected in his personal image.

Basically, a zombot world seems like something Neo Metal Sonic, not Eggman, would want to, and absolutely could, rule for a very long time.
