Hot, cold, felt

That’s probably the most aggressive fade out I’ve ever heard. Great example

Your diverter is a knob? Interesting. I’ve only seen them as a little pull handle, usually on the spout.

Their tub has three knobs?

Also, a bunch of the living days too

With “v” sounding like it does in other English words like valve.

The watermarks amusingly make it seem like Deanna is Riker’s beard, as well as his actual beard.

Ironically, it’s missing pieces so can’t be armed and triggered as a trap anymore

In movies and TV it always looked like they cracked something in half. I’m wondering if they’ve been coming in a little pouch now for a long time but that cracking-in-half type is now movie shorthand for smelling salts so they keep doing it.

I don’t remember the animation looking like that. This looks cleaner and more modern?

Bulma did it first

Was their source the moops?

I want a bag of paper fibres I can sprinkle into the spill

Weird Science Magic

That’s getting into ship of Theseus territory which is similar, but slightly different than the transporter paradox. It gets closer when you do the whole build another ship out of the replaced parts thing, but with the transporter there’s something that gets destroyed and that something is where your consciousness is.

Even a “perfect” copy is still a copy, and the fact that the second consciousness doesn’t rely on the first to exist (they could simultaneously exist ala William Riker) it’s a separate instance so a separate person.

Because it’s still a copy, so you still die. Imagine if there was a delay between the copy being produced and the original being destroyed, long enough for them to see each other if transported within the same room.

To Be

Weren’t they gonna eat everybody until they thought C3PO was a god?

Cats do it and people have been living around cats for thousands of years

True, but the amount they shrink and grow across the grain tends to be proportional. A 2x4 is very rarely measurably different from 1.5"x3.5", but a 2x10 (like you’ve shown) is 1.5"x9 1/4" but is often anywhere between 9 1/8" to 9 3/8"

I often thought that with all the trouble the Borg go through fighting all the resistance and wars and stuff they could instead just go around asking for volunteers.

Throughout the galaxy they could probably build a decent population this way, and it’s much lower risk.
