There are many examples of “turning the tables,” so to speak, in movies. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Table flipping signals a transition from a speaking scene to an action scene, the moment when all hell breaks loose. It’s a dramatic effect that turns up over and over because it’s (1) easy to do, (2) it makes a great mess, and (3) it fills the screen nicely. Don’t try this at home, because you’ll have to clean it up! A list of movies used in this supercut by Roman Holiday can be found at the vimeo page. -via Daily Picks and Flicks

Humans are indeed inefficient energy producers, but who is to say that humans submerged in soylent goo, would not shut down or severely atrophy some of their organs (lungs for example) thus redirecting the energy wasted there for machine consumption. Perhaps the methane produced by the intestines (fart) could be harvested. Human bodies could be used to culture certain extremophiles that could produce other kinds of energy sources.
No, I am not Dr Mengele. But if the inevitable happens, I for one welcome our new machine overlords.
