Voyager can't talk shit because it runs on lab-grown living brain tissue

Hey! Bioneural gel packs make the Voyager smart and not at all silently screaming in existential terror!

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

I have no mouth and I must scream

The cheese cometh....

That’s what they made us think

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Both can be true.

returns to fluidic space to complain online about trek physical accuracy

"Replicator, give me a slice of mushroom pizza."

"Hot or cold."

"Hot."

"Space-warping travel mushrooms or the ones that grow on old logs."

"Uh, the log ones I guess."

"Coward."

Majel Barrett's sassy replicator was some of her finest work.

Hey, they are extra dimensional ghost corpses. There's a difference.

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 10 points 11 months ago

Spirits of good fortune, not ghosts.

Took me a second to figure out ransomware. Bravo.

To be fair, magic mushrooms actually exist.

I watched this one when I was a kid and it fucked me up. I couldn't believe starfleet officers could do that.

The equinos looked cool though

My minecraft modding ass immediately thought of enderium (thermal foundation material)

Since they don't break causality, they actually are.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

causality

Not sure you're using this correctly here as the spore drive doesn't break the link between cause and effect either.

[–] orthen@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. And a least as far as I remember, it does. It's not obvious and not addressed at all, but instantaneous travel between two points in space (if you don't take a shorcut through an addtional dimension, e.g. something we could call w if the three space dimension we're familiar with are x,y,z) is equivalent to time travel. The same is true for FTL travel, which Star Trek solves by warping space time, which also works.

Perhaps the mycelial network is basically an extra space-time dimension, but at least the way I remember it being explained that wasn't really the case.

But that's anyway a relatively technical points and Star Trek, as much as I love it, was never really about the technical things.
