There does seem to be a significant German contingent on Lemmy, as there was on Reddit. I have a very in-my-head Reddit moment I need to share.
Remember when "The Nations of the World brought to you by Yakko Warner" was a meme and people were making all kinds of permutations of it? I saw one that was like "the nations of the world if Germany won WWII" which was basically "Germany Germany Germany Germany Portugal Spain, Spain, Germany, Germany..."
On the most recent r/place I remember, the Germans had a habit of taking their tricolor flag all the way across the canvas, which made me think "Germany Germany Germany Germany" in Yakko Warner's voice.
c/Risa is inevitable, you should just start watching Star Trek.
I started watching Deep Space 9, itās pretty interesting so far. But I only realized halfway through the first season that it wasnāt the one with Patrick Stewart or the bearded guy that says āDidnāt happen.ā
How far into Deep Space 9 are you? If you find it interesting now you'll probably thoroughly enjoy seasons 5-7.
If you want to try watching the Patrick Stewart one (The Next Generation) I suggest starting with the pilot / first episode, then the season 2 episode "Measure of a Man" and then watch all episodes starting with season 3 onward. Keep in mind The Next Generation chronologically comes before Deep Space 9.
iām not that far in at all, I just got to the episode where someone named Luxanna Troi shows up, and Iām pretty sure Iām supposed to know who she is judging by how the narrative is treating her lol. Iām assuming sheās from the Original series or Next Generation? Iām probably going to watch the older series after I finish DS9, unless the ending is likeā¦Game of Thrones levels of bad.
And yeah, the whole setup for the series is so interesting to me. Commander Sisko shows up to this dilapidated space port to help a formerly colonized people reestablish themselves. But likeā¦heās also alien godās messengerā¦or something?
I didnāt realize it was going to have a religious slant, but the clear setup of the clash of ideologies of the Federation, Bajor, whatever Quark is andā¦umā¦the Kardashians (š¤¦āāļø)? Itās already proving to be really cool. Iām excited to see where it goes.
Yeah a lot of stuff in Deep Space 9 is setup throughout The Next Generation, in a way it's a spin-off of TNG. Lwaxana Troi is the mother of one of the main characters on TNG, for example. (random fact: the actor is also the widow of the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry). She also acted on the original series, but played a different character.
There is definitely a religious slant throughout the show, especially when it comes to the Bajorans or Sisko, but generally doesn't act as a deus ex machina plot device. Okay I can think of one plot point of the top of my head where it's a bit deus ex machina, but it's still very enjoyable and arguably makes sense within the context of the entirety of the show. Overall I'd say the Bajoran / wormhole alien religion plays an important part in the show, but more for setting / theme and less for major plot points, and in episodes where it is a plot construct it is well done and makes sense in-universe, unlike some other shows I can think of (like Battlestar Galactica).
Have you been introduced to the Cardassian named Garak yet? In my humble opinion Garak (and Gul Dukat, whom you've already met) are some of the best characters ever written for TV. The character development over the seasons is organically great, for most of the characters, really.
There is an overall main story spread out throughout the show, which I think doesn't really kick into full gear until season 4 I think? Deep Space 9 is different from the other Star Trek shows in that the other shows generally don't have an overarching story, each episode is more or less self-contained, which made DS9 quite the radical contrast at the time it was released.
Yes Garak has been introduced already, and his relationship with Bashir! He seems very complex, and your high opinion of him has me intrigued! I can definitely start to see the threads of the overarching story (I think) with Sisko and the Bajoran religion, and something with the Cardassians (thank you for sharing the correct spelling).
All the replies here have me excited about whatās to come!
I am really enjoying DS9 tbh. Itās an older show so maybe the aesthetics arenāt as clean, but itās been making me contemplate a lot of larger social issues that I donāt really think about. Also kind of weirdly relevant in todayās times.
I donāt know about any of the other series, but Next Generation was technically the one I watched was trying to watch, so Iāll eventually get to it. Maybe I should have done release date order.
Famously, and in formal completion of Cunningham's law disapproval. Cunningham has never said that, and actually disagrees with the aphorism, he's been quoted qualifying it as a misquote and a proof of misinformation spread on the internet in complete self-defeating disprove.
I have only been on the fediverse for a month but Iām pretty sure I could start my own software engineering company on the pc I just built (Linux OS, of course).
try {
const joke = allProgrammingJokes[Math.floor(Math.random() * allProgrammingJokes.length)];
if (!getJoke(joke)) {
throw new Error("Joke not understood");
}
} catch (error) {
console.log("lol *upvotes*");
}
function getJoke(joke) {
// This function is intentionally flawed to always return false.
// It's a part of the joke!
return false;
}
ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? š¤
I imagine it'd have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.
