Do you want ants a Borg queen? Because that's how you get ants a Borg queen.

The resemblance is a little uncanny.

Bell Riots kick off in 6 days, and we have a proto Borg queen coming online in 2024 just like that old gypsy woman said. Maybe we do live in the Trek universe.

That would be way cooler than whatever actually happens with this brain dead idea.
- Indeed.
  
  "Who's in the mood to add a little bit of their biological and technological distinctiveness to our own?"
  
  Honestly, I never really thought that being a Borg would be as horrific as the show tried to claim, especially with the way Seven described it.
More like a Borg drone voluntarily making ChatGPT her queen even though it's an idiot and not Alice Krige.
- Yeah, I had that same thought but figured they'd merge at some point lol
  
  even though it's an idiot and not Alice Krige.
  
  Now I'm imagining a Borg collective of just Pakleds.
  
  You are smart. You will be assimilated to make us go.
Bell Riots start in a little under 8 days. They kick off in the early morning of September 1st. Our trio of temporal travelers will arrive in 6 days.
- Yes, my bad. I always think there are only 30 days in August. lol. Aug 31st is always like a surprise "bonus" day for me. 😆
- https://www.bellriots.com/ (9d 22h as of this comment)
  
  Then the site is wrong. 9am September 1st is past the time the riots start and thats 192 hours away. 192 hours is 8 days exactly.
  
  I figured out what the clock on that site is calculating. They're showing time until the riots end
  
  var countDownDate = new Date("Sept 3, 2024 05:00:00 PDT").getTime();
  
  So just take two days and a bit off that display and that's when they should start.
- Roddenberry better be right about this one. If the Simpsons can call it as much as they have, Star Trek can have this one.
That’s… just weird. There’s performance art, and whatever this has turned into with time.
I'm just waiting for her to lose control and kill someone
Cool it runs off a Raspberry Pi though.
- Borg tech was Linux all along?
  
  If the Borg ran on Windows, they'd have to spend time adding RAM every time they add a drone and the cubes would have to reboot at least once a week.
  
  If it was MacOS or iOS, they'd be limited to a small number of species they could assimilate.
- Lol yeah. That's the one part of that whole thing I can appreciate.
I will give you a "cool" but with a "creepy" and "weird" attached.
A volunteer GLaDOS.
Aww, is someones art not getting enough attention?
Anyone wearing headphones while having a conversation IRL is very disrespectful.
- I agree with that and also agree with the opposite: anyone trying to start a conversation with me while I'm wearing headphones is very disrespectful lol.
  
  Yeah, I can see that, though you might want to give the other party some time to explain what the issue is, just incase it is something important
- What if they're talking to someone who speaks a different language and they're using their phone and headphones to translate in real time? 🤔
  
  Then the other party would probably need translation back, so just use a loudspeaker and swap translation direction.
But, the all important question remains: where is the best place to eat cheesecake within a mile of New York???
