  It’s been a while since I watched “The Menagerie” but is this scene in it? Because if this scene appears only in “The Cage” then I don’t think it would be considered canon.

  But in any case, it’s a recreation made by psychic aliens based on Pike’s memories. It might not be entirely accurate to begin with.

  What’s the better way?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it happens to the best of us...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hit the gym, stop eating so many sweets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the Roman numerals based on what your hand look like when you count?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Romans didn’t use base 12. Roman numerals aren’t a positional system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the Roman numerals based on what your hand look like when you count?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard of crossing your fingers like that to indicate 10.

  Mendel’s experiments are a lot easier to recreate on your own than Darwin’s observations at Galapagos. And that’s what good science is all about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can do it yourself and see it firsthand. You can breed plants and artificially select the traits you want to see in future generations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Goldeneye. Revolutionized the FPS genre at the time. Nigh unplayable now. Tried recently using both NSO and on an original N64, it just hasn’t aged well when compared to something modern.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stay and fight for it. Because what happens if and when shit goes south wherever your new home is? Just keep running?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You will never ever get in trouble for simply possessing GBC ROMs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've done it again...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re supposed to disregard it. Just boil enough pasta for however many servings you want, a serving of dry pasta is 60g. Why are you using a recipe for spaghetti?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube cracks down (again) on ad blockers, frustrating users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got the YouTube premium family plan a long time ago. Been worth every penny for the amount of YouTube we watch.

  I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but if there was one streaming service I was gonna pay for it’d be YT premium. You can pirate everything else pretty easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When picking location for reincarnation USA is a really popular choice but don't pick it, it's a total bait and switch.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends heavily on where you are in the USA and who you’re reincarnated as.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've done it again...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Start weighing your pasta. You’ll never cook too much again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You left out some important context, that she followed that up with “you people are next.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You left out that she followed that statement up by saying “you people are next.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A group of people related by blood and/or marriage.

  More broadly, any group of related things depending on the context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you are in prison and want to communicate with the outside world without being detected, what are some ways to hide a message within an innocuous letter?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It could be anything, as long as your recipient has the cipher for your code. If they don’t, then you better hope they’re really good decrypters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite 90s platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge disses Star Trek icon Data’s poetry while ruling AI can’t author works⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Data’s poem was written by real people trying to sound like a machine.

  ChatGPT’s poems are written by a machine trying to sound like real people.

  While I think “Ode to Spot” is actually a good poem, it’s kind of a valid point to make since the TNG writers were purposely trying to make a bad one.

  If I had this land, I’d grow food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just my mood, but I have different flavors of favorite.

  In terms of nostalgia and all-time enjoyment, hard to beat Ocarina of Time.

  In terms of pure “this game is so good”, may have to go with Red Dead Redemption 2. Truly a masterpiece.

  In terms of most hours played, Civilization 6 at over 2000 hours.

  That’s not the kind of fruit we’re talking about and you know it.
