    we’ve engineered the bolster connection to withstand up to 50 lbs. of pushing force, so you can chop without worry. (Our human arms could only muster 30 lbs. This is why we’re nice to the robot.)

    Noodle-armed motherfuckers could only manage 30 lbs of force with their arms?

        Pounds is force, newtons is also force. You even converted it correctly; you wouldn’t be able to do that with like grams or any other mass unit. The only reason we use pounds and mass interchangeably is that we all experience pretty similar gravity all over the world, so a certain mass will generally exert the same amount of force regardless where it is on the Earth’s surface or what it’s made of.
