Captain Picard usually tells the replicator “Tea. Earl grey. Hot.” At which point the replicator produces a cup of hot earl grey tea.
However, in this meme, Captain Picard says “bees” instead of “tea”. Bees are a swarming, flying insect. As a result, instead of tea appearing in the replicator, a swarm of bees appears.
The humour lies in the fact that a minor substitution in the language of the request drastically changed the resulting situation.
This exchange made him start the fire, despite his claims to the contrary.
They should rename it Orangeland.
The only thing people talk about more than AI is politics.
I did a sewage treatment plant tour in my high school biology class. At the end of the second stage filtration, the worker pointed at how it discharges into the ocean.
“So at this point, the water has been treated enough that it’s safe to drink”
We all scrunched our faces at that. Then he added
“But I wouldn’t”
Is that before or after Kupiansk?
Ontario’s economy is heavily reliant on their auto industry that’s pretty tightly coupled to the US. I get why Ford needs to make statements like this. There’s a huge risk of disruption letting Chinese EVs into Canada.
On the flip side, coupling our industry to a burgeoning fascist state that has shown little interest in respecting treaties, trade agreements, and Canada is a stupider and stupider arrangement as every day passes.
So, great, Doug, you’re speaking up for your constituents. It’s just that decades of ghoulish decisions have put Ontario in that position, and something has to give. Being at the whim of Detroit corporations is no way forward.
Aches and pains. New medications they’re on. How things were so much easier when they were younger.
The same conversation that happens everywhere when the people have been around for a while.
This is a good compromise. When I was tight on backup space, I just had a “backup” script that ran nightly and wrote all the media file names to a text file and pushed that to my backup.
It would mean tons of redownloading if my storage array failed, but it was preferable to spending hundreds of dollars I didn’t have on new hardware.
Holy shit, this has every cert I’ve ever generated or renewed since 2015.
Waddaya mean no magic bullet? We just need to add one more lane!
How many tons of food are shoplifted from the average grocery store? How many tons go into the dumpster because they were deemed not sellable, even though plenty of people would happily take it at a discount?
Share your memories, receive a studio-quality custom song with vocals in minutes.
This is the high level pitch and is exactly why this product misses the point.
Creating a song or art or playlist for someone requires time. It’s the personal effort that makes it valuable. Spending a minute filling out a form before an algorithm generates a song is neither thoughtful, personal, nor meaningful.
A hand written card is better than a typed letter is better than an email is better than an emoji. GiftSong is the emoji.
If someone sent me this I would be insulted and wouldn’t even listen to the end once. I would never spent my money or time trying to be a user of something like this.
Holy shit did I come across a fresh Homestar Runner reference in 2026?!?!?!
Which is more than anyone else did!
How many people actually got off their asses and killed Hitler in the entirety of the 20th Century? ONE!
there was a 36 per cent drop in British Columbians heading south in 2025
Good! But not enough! I hope the trend continues.
We’re all programmers here. It’s obviously 0-indexed.
I pasted in the first half of the speech and it said 100% human.
