  • Ship's phasers delivered a space baby once.

    It's a scifi show, everything is a medical device. Palm beacons, phasers, nanoprobes, warp plasma, whatever tupperware casserole bowl Spock wore as a beltbuckle while his brain was missing. Its all fair game.

  • Word up

  • I clearly have never seen the music video despite still remembering the lyrics all these years later. I only got to watch MTV at my cousins' house in the 80s though so, if it wasn't Madonna or The Cure, I had to play catch up on music video history in the 90s. In-between episodes of Aeon Flux and The Real World.

  • AI lovers grieve loss of ChatGPT’s old model: ‘Like saying goodbye to someone I know’

  • Countdown to articles (that take themselves very seriously) about people getting really upset over the term "clanker lover"

  • Look at the time, it's Seven of Nine!

  • One is a legacy obsessed lizard person and the other is (was) a Gul.

  • AOL to discontinue dial-up internet service after 34 years

    Jump

  • Per your own link: they started as game delivery service called Control Video Corp and later became an AppleLink service called Quantum Link. They became AOL in 89 when they separated from Apple and offered internet modem pools starting in 91.

  • My kids named one of our hens "Chloe", and I are think that's an inappropriate name for a bird.

  • Chloe does the tables in the french quarter

  • If time rules are out the window let's get Janice Rand and younger Uhura from SNW on the line!

  • Still impatiently waiting for STLV.

  • I think it's Star Trek: Lower Vec's; the series where we follow ensign Vecna from D&D and ensign Vecna from Stranger Things.

  • I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden

  • I became adept in IRC in early 90s when I was under 10 years old, before my BB provider was even a full ISP (so I couldn't even look up help on what existed of the early web). Every time I hear an adult claim its too complicated/obscure/esoteric I realize how close to the medical exam scene in Idiocracy we've gotten in a few short decades.

  • TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear"

    Jump

  • The Eurasian brown bear sleeps in three beds of different firmness all at once. Then wakes up and eats 3 bowls of porridge without giving a shit what temperature they are.

  • If this episode was made in the 2000s, you know Armus would be wearing tar fedora and would precede each statement with "ummm, actually..."

  • This feels like a targeted attack on parts of booktok. Has there been a counter-offensive, and where is the popcorn?

  • Griffins an a few other mythical creatures would be too. Pegasus may or may not. The original was sired by Poseidon and itself was a god, but its since become a generic name for winged horses so that leaves room for debate.

    Yes I do enjoy fiction taxonomy, why do ask?

  • Do you chums have a fantasy crew list?

  • Dr Umbengabones is the perfect lead for my Zombie Trek (Star Amble?) series!

  • Well put.

    I'd been on reddit since the Digg migration and deleted my account after the blackout, but I had been enjoying the place less and less (and was interacting less and less) for years before.

  • we conservatively estimate 20 × 10^15 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. -- source

    If there's a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.

  • I was born at the north end of a valley, went to collage in the middle of the valley (maybe 2/3rds down), and then settled down at south end of the valley. About 100mi / 160km. Where I live now is home, my spawn point hasn't been my home in over half my life.

    Though I've lived for months at a time in a few more distant cities, all in the US.
