While we’re at it, let’s just pull in Chris Pine (multiverse crap) and William Shatner (Nexus crap) and have one of those nutty SNW episodes that sounds like a horrible idea but is surprisingly one of the better episodes that season:

I like to imagine some weird historian who insisted on pen accidentally flipped the ‘9’ in ‘2191’, and that error just happened to end up in the Enterprise D’s historical database; the holodeck just went along with the error, and Riker was none the wiser, having gotten a C- in Early Federation History at the Academy and having frequently gone to the bathroom “for legitimate reasons” during his high school Earth history class. It was only in mid-2380 that he finally discovered his misconception.

Although it’d still be a bit dismal that trip only lived to 70.

I love the Jake Nog shenanigans episodes.

Remind me of the babe.

You do.

What power?

So that’s why she reminds me of the babe…

Can we pulp the Worfs down into more of a Worf slurry and fill the Enterprise with that? We can give each of them a warrior’s death first if we need to.

The LaTeX formulas make me chuckle so hard.

Warriors seal their own stembolts!

You talk like a Ferengi bIHnuch! The glooreeee of one meme has a value unequaled by any amount of latinum.

I had Subway Surfers as a kid and still watched Star Trek.

And just replace Bluey with Thomas and Friends or whatever.

My mom would be lass lax in making do our homework if we watched whatever Trek she was watching; I was drawing pictures of Picard by the time I was 10. This was in the 2010s.

While also caring developing its characters extremely well; I think only DS9 had better character development.

In my opinion, it’s not that worth it as a beverage; it’s best enjoyed in a root beer float. Of course, that makes it even more sugary, but it’s at least a pleasurable experience of texture.

I most frequently have A & W; it’s pretty rare we get anything else. I don’t think I’ve had a lot of Mug; I’ve certainly had some before, but it feels like I see more A & W and Barq’s around my area. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been to an A & W; all the Las Vegas locations had been closed for years (and still are) back when I lived in Vegas, and there’s only 1 in the entirety of the Phoenix area where I current live.

Honestly, for me, root beer is root beer. Also, I rarely drink it as a standalone beverage these days; I mostly just use it in root beer floats. I’d only really choose it if there was no Dr. Pepper around or I was avoiding caffeine.

The root beer thing sounds so surreal to me, but it really shouldn’t.

Your body replaces most of its cells over the course of about a decade, give or take a few years (except for brain cells, which admittedly throws a wrench in my point). What’s not to say it didn’t kill the version of you 10 years ago?

Further more, think of yourself from 1 day ago. Can that exact version of yourself still act on the world, or is that version effectively dead as the result of your mind changing over time? That exact version of you isn’t somehow carried on by soul.

In some sense, the very continuity of consciousness could be viewed as a continual process of death of the old self; all the transporter does is create a brief gap in that continuum.

In a nutshell, we’re always dying in some form as a product of the nature of time itself. Why should we get mad at the transporter?

Maybe the soul is how we transcend these deaths; maybe there’s no such thing as a soul.
