"How many Tech-Priests does it take to change a lightbulb?" A joke IRL, but a genuine question in 40k.

I think it usually would be "None, they just order servitor or menial worker to do it"

@@Jfk2Mr You presume that they would leave such an important and holy act to a mere servitor?

How many Tech priests does it take to change a lightbulb? I don't know, but it will take all of them arguing about it to find out

All of them arguing, another Martian civil war, several being burned as heretics, and years of nobody being legally allowed to change light bulbs until the matter is resolved. A relatively minor disagreement within the Mechanicus.

"The knowledge of changing a lightbulb has long been forgotten. Then again we forgot how to make lightbulbs a 1000 years ago, so it's a blessing in dishuse.

The answer is one and a council. One to change it and the council to declare he did it wrong.

The tech priests are as literal as TTS Rogal Dorn.

Wasn't there one that trolled him for not giving the Mechanicus the promised toasters by giving him a cheap mobility scooter?

Definitely

And thus a single guardsman started off a centuries old Mechanicus feud.

This boy is either secretly a alpha legionnaire starting a schism or this is just the Tech Priest equivalent of asking about pineapple on pizza.

The answer is '0' . . . lightbulbs are for the Weak. Adeptus Mechanicus have bionic eyes and see all. Even in Death they serve the Omnissiah.

That plasma turret caught me off guard. Sometimes you forget that cog boys are actually quite fierce fighters and that almost all these skinny mech nerds are trained to carry weapons and fight on battlefields, not just skiitari

This lightbulb has faithfully served the Omnissiah for thousands of years. Perhaps it is you, Magos, who should be changed!

The answer is zero - they just send a servitor to change the lumins Which is why the lumins allways fail at the worst possible moment

That's what happens when you don't deal with the lightbulb demons before hand

The answer is... the entire of Mars because there will be a civil war among the techpriest because of that one simple question

Makes you wonder how much tech-heresy is performed just to avoid situations such as these.

How many construction workers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Six months

3. One to hold the stair, the other to change the lightbulb and the last one to pray to the Ominissiah that the bulb is not filled with demons.

The question is moot. The STC for that lightbulb has been lost, and we dare not replace the fitting for it would anger the machine spirit of the building to do so.

I believe, they are gonna test the theory with a serhitor. Guardsman, do you see any servitor nearby?

Adeptus Mechanicus Civil War ensues

None, they’re too busy arguing about the doctrine to do it

It depends on whether it's machine spirit really wants to change.

Who bet this is a d&d campaign? This is done as a distraction because they needed them all out of a room

One Guardsman and a ladder

That's a lot of techprist...!

Near the end I felt a second war of mars brewing. Lol

Oh🤣

I was hoping they’d all be arguing at the same time.

The answer is 2. One to change it, and another to execute the first one for not following the correct protocol.

This is a perfect example of how discussions in the Talmud go

I knew it was going to get crazy like this 🤣

for the sacres lightbulb it need the oration of all mars making sure that the wall the lightbulb the divine activator button and the current work in is perfect state it need aproximaly 95,472% of the tecnopriest on the imperium for the basic maintenance-e-e-e-eexplode

All of them...

Answere: none That would require reinnivating, and that is Tech-Heresy

3.14 is definitely the correct answer.

The only fault is that this discussion does not take place in binary.
