  • The interesting outtake from SCP-3135:

    Despite the visual accuracy of the characters and locations to the original Next Generation show, several notable deviations are present, including:

    • Each episode begins and ends with a title card reading ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Journey Continues! Exclusive to Westhead Media Programming!’
    • The majority of the opening credits are absent, instead only listing Harrison Granger as the director of every episode. (This information is outdated. See Addendum 3135-1 for more information.)
    • All episodes now take place completely aboard the USS Enterprise. No plot justification for this is given.
    • There is a drastic increase in nudity, graphic violence, and profanity. The majority of said profanity can be attributed to the character of Data, who uses the word ‘fuck’ a minimum of ten times per episode.
    • The character Jean Luc Picard’s name is now John Luke Picard.
    • Although the character Wesley Crusher is frequently referenced as being aboard the Enterprise by other characters, he never appears in person.
    • Popular fan-theories regarding the Star Trek universe are frequently confirmed, often in situations which have little to do with the theory in question.
    • Plot elements centered around people being trapped inside walls or otherwise restrained by them are frequent.
    • The majority of episodes are now based around the character William Riker and his various sexual encounters.
    • Neelix, a supporting character from Star Trek: Voyager, is now present in the background of every episode. Neelix has no dialogue and is not acknowledged by any other characters.










  • I remember visiting my family in Brasil some 20 years ago. Lots of stores had their own financing-long-term offers. People would then continue buying without bothering with details, each buy would add to a total sum.

    There’s no way to check if the total amount was correct, without including the % they had to pay for the credit, which changed every month.

    A tedious task most people didn’t bother with.




  • You could sail the high seas for a day or two and you would be able to download all shows and movies on your HD, after that just dispose of the ship.

    You would have to live traveling the ocean though, if you also want to keep up with the current shows.

    Or wait until a good chunk of shows are done or have enough seasons, so that a quick sailing would bring home a good bounty.

    I myself have never sailed or written the comment you just finished reading.



  • The problem is also people, like project managers, suddenly coming in and showing us what his AI companion responded to the bug we were hunting.

    See? Just do it like this, isn’t that hard.

    I took a look and it was so wrong, but written with so much confidence, that everyone thinks, that’s it. The correct answer.

    When i told him that, he just waved it away.

    For many this is like “at last i can see what the devs really do, how much code they write, how long it should take.”
