26 years ago, the Voyager episode "Threshold" aired, in which it was revealed that humans who break the Warp barrier turn into lizards. This episode has been wildly reviled, but those protesting it are missing an important truth.

Every single time a human breaks a speed barrier, they turn into a lizard. It's a biological fact - in attempting to break the sound barrier, we went through sixteen test pilots before Chuck Yeager mysteriously didn't turn into a lizard. There is ample pictographic evidence to show that the first humans who attempted to ride horses turned into lizards. Our simulations show that we can expect the first team of astronauts attempting FTL travel will turn into lizards.

When faced with a velocity that the human brain is unprepared for, a complex psychosomatic process is initiated and the human turns into a lizard in response. After the new "maximum" velocity is normalized and no longer seen to be excessive, humans stop being startled by the travel velocity and cease turning into lizards. It's just basic biology.

at least, that's what I'm gonna do as soon as I can get my hands on an infinite supply of bricks, time, and non-Euclidean mortar

surreptitiously connecting cities across the globe by adding new space-defying turns and cut-throughs into their back alleys and quiet spots until they're all a confused and delightful polyglot maze of snickets, ginnels, sudden weather changes, nighttime food stands, urban gardens, and feral flaneurs

poormanteau (an inexpensive blending of words)

developing a totally safe and proven private transit system where you just wink out of existence here and wink back in over there, and definitively do not pass through a realm of darkness and fear and herds of lost ghost unicorns in the middle. Please ignore the glitter on your boots.

this is the most relatable panel of all time?????? holy shit

The eternal "do I have adhd or is modern life just bad with too much bullshit and pointless paperwork arbitrary deadlines and endless bloody process instituted as an expression of unjust power relations" debate.

I like the haudenosaunee flag because u look at it and think "why is it pixelated" then you learn it's like that because it's based on the hiawatha wampum belt, which is made out of purple and white shell beads
