There’s hope for the continued survival of humanity past the point where we invent robots with the ability to exterminate us and built robots of their own. How do I know this? Because we’ve invented “deep fried butter.” If we can do that, the robots don’t stand a chance.

The Today Show says that our hero is named Abel Gonzales Jr., and this is not his first foray into potentially species-saving fried foods. He is the “winner of past state fair competitions for his Texas Fried Cookie Dough, Fried Peanut Butter, Jelly and Banana Sandwich and Fried Coke recipes.”

A human interviewed by the program alleges that Deep Fried Butter tastes, “like a hot roll with butter,” and that it is “great.”
