Mnemonic

If you give a machine a heart it will get lazy. Hearts give us emotions and with emotions we become weak. Why would a machine with a heart want to work anymore? Nah. It's lazy time now.

Picture a machine with a heart, lying on the couch, eating oil snacks, and snoozing. What a lazy machine!

Mnemonic

The machine is so lazy it won't even wear its tie (たい) anymore. That was the only official thing left about it, but now it's as lazy as a human. Would a lazy human put on a tie? I don't think so.

Picture the lazy machine sitting on the couch again. There are untied ties all over the floor.
