I am trying to order eggs online and their system has decided I am not human. If I was a robot what would I do with eggs? Surely ordering eggs is itself an indication I am human, being able to identify animals sitting down seems a bit superfluous. And in any case as long as I pay for the eggs should it matter? Why can't robots have eggs if they want them? Seems clear discrimination to me.

Because the robots might study and use the eggs as the first part of a plot to breed a race of genetically-enhanced super-chickens, which will become the physical muscle needed in their plan to Kill All The Humans, of course.

Gotta stop that shit before it starts, y'know.

Show up at the egg store with a smile and a firm handshake.
