Id personally be more scared of the chimp. The gorilla is mostly a peaceful animal.

Burning still has too much of a negative connotation.
They’ll pressure to expand more on banning books in schools, public libraries, pull public funding and restrict government aid payouts for universities unless they follow suit. They’ll let states decide that they can ban books for sale unless the site forces an age check. They’ll give responsibility for the age check system to a corporation that is expected to do a lackluster job and wash their hands of it when there are complaints. Maybe some day they’ll step in to ‘fix’ it resulting in taking it down for maintenance and restructuring and then they just… never bring it back up.

- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 3 weeks ago:
Hasn’t this Bethesda helmed Oblivion remake been in the rumors and ‘eventually’ stage since around 2021-2022? Feel like skyblivion team has had plenty of time to get used to it at this point, but has something changed recently to make the bethesda version more relevant?

Also, proof, the universe is flat.
- Comment on Why aren't all rooms holodecks? 2 months ago:
This is a fun thought experiment and I’m kind of surprised Discovery didn’t do something like this with holodeck tech in the “future” since the writers weren’t afraid to do other tech-taken-to-natural-conclusion like tiny phaser transporters (or whatever those were).
They kinda did, they just didn’t go into detail. There were ships that were made entirely of holodeck at the new federation headquarters in discovery season 3ish, we just never got beyond being mentioned briefly and people going ‘Oh, thats cool’.

They didn’t go into depth at all, don’t believe we even have one with a name, but they talked about seeing federation ships made entirely of ‘holographic containment walls’ in Discovery Season 3. Pretty sure it was when they first arrived at federation headquarters in the future.
There was also that ship in insurrection where it was just one giant holodeck, but still existing inside a regular ship. The concept just hasn’t made it into something that’s broadly popular in the mainstream trek fandom.

Pretty sure they sell those too.

Surprised that the first go to isn’t the tiny horse attached to the back of the main one or the fact that the astronaut also has no feet.

You can afford new tires instead of just patching them endlessly?
Look at the big spender over here.

I really wonder what animals we’re missing out on in terms of dairy now. Like could White Rhino Yogurt be the best yogurt known to man?

I’m not sure gators understand the idea of not being hungry.

Ocarina of Time soundtrack lives in my head rent free too. For me, its usually Lost Woods, everyone who played remembers the tune even if they don’t know the name.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 2 months ago:
When I upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 8, I was really surprised to find out that not only was my phone slightly smaller, it also had a slightly larger screen. I’m not super happy with google, but the things they focus on with the Pixel line has me pretty bought in.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
