Peanut butter?

Also, about a million people have done science fair projects confirming it, so it must be true.

Plant response to noise is apparently a real thing. You can find lots of abstracts by searching scholar.google

Apparently pure tones are better than white-noise.

:shrug:

@Excuse_haver @taweret

Wait, let's slow down on this one.

Because, uh, I think plants do even better if you shout loudly at them.

The royal tailor's clever scam aside, why would you even _want_ clothes that can only be seen by the truly wise?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? The bottom 99% of humanity are going to be straight-up looking at your junk.

I think, if you were sufficiently sexy, there might be more utility in clothes that work the other way around, so that only the truly wise can check you out.

@mal That's not really the spirit of social media.

@tparadox @taweret

I always imagine growing a clone army is like growing apples.

If you let them naturally reproduce, they lose that perfect genome that makes them valuable.

@mal @taweret @Red

It's like putting your turn signal on and then not turning!

If you're not careful you'll get your sleeping license revoked. I think that's what I'm getting at here.

Not sure, really.

@taweret
I assume they're engineered so that they don't enjoy it, but are also not adverse to it if they're in a position where sex would be socially useful and advance the cause of The Founders.

Probably it rarely happens because, without intending to, they explain all this in the most off-putting way possible.

@taweret

That sounds like a really sad exercise from an orphanage.

@pbandkate

That whole exercise reminds me of those birds that hide their eggs in other birds' nests.

The robots are tricking human students into raising their children!

I want a computer keyboard with keys that have as much travel as an old mechanical typewriter.

I figure that would double the amount of calories I burn whilst sitting here typing.

@bort @taweret

"Fucking awesome" is stronger than I would have put it. But I do like the show.

Even if you wind up not liking the show (It does star Sorbo), it's worth a couple episodes just for the different spin it puts on the Trek-like formula.

@myconidiosyncracy @mal @taweret

The blasphemy is _recommending_ this selection of skips to first-time viewers.

@mal @taweret @myconidiosyncracy

Also, "A Man Alone", "Move Along Home"?

Those are vital character building episodes. Maybe you can skip them on re-watch, but first time through? That'd be a mistake. You'd miss out on so much character development.

@mal @taweret @myconidiosyncracy

Blasphomy! Skipping episodes is for bad TV Shows.

For good shows you should savor them, not rush to the finale.

Idea for Obscure Star Trek Merch I would buy in an instant :

I want a set of baseball caps for every fictional Star Trek baseball team.

The Niners, The Logicians, The London Kings, The Pike City Pioneers.

@checkervest It's like a Game Show where the prize is your own money.
