I don't know if it's just me , but I fucking hated Saltburn so much I couldn't finish it. So I was delighted when the Oscar noms came out today and it was completely shut out.
Hello, fellow Trekkies. I'm here to expose the truth about the most overrated and unrealistic technology in the Star Trek universe: teleportation. You know, the thing that lets you beam from one place to another in a matter of seconds, without any hassle or risk. Well, guess what? It's all a lie. A scam. A hoax. A fraud. And I'm going to prove it to you with facts and logic.
First of all, let's talk about the science behind teleportation. How does it work? Well, according to Star Trek, it works by scanning your body, breaking it down into subatomic particles, sending them through a subspace stream, and reassembling them at the destination. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. There are so many problems with this process that I don't even know where to start.
First problem: scanning. Do you have any idea how much information is contained in a human body? According to some estimates, it's about 10^28 bits. That's a 1 followed by 28 zeros. To put that in perspective, that's more than the number of atoms in the observable universe. How can you possibly scan and store that much data in a reasonable amount of time? And how can you ensure that the scan is accurate and complete? What if you miss a mole, a scar, a tattoo, or a birthmark? What if you scan a virus, a bacteria, or a cancer cell? What if you scan a memory, a thought, or a feeling? How do you know what to keep and what to discard?
Second problem: breaking down. Do you have any idea how much energy is required to break down a human body into subatomic particles? According to some estimates, it's about 10^19 joules. That's about the same amount of energy as a 2.4 megaton nuclear bomb. How can you possibly generate and control that much energy without causing a massive explosion? And how can you ensure that the particles are not lost, damaged, or corrupted during the process? What if some of them escape, decay, or interact with other particles? What if some of them are affected by gravity, magnetism, or radiation? How do you know what to send and what to keep?
Third problem: sending. Do you have any idea how much bandwidth is required to send a human body through a subspace stream? According to some estimates, it's about 10^15 bits per second. That's about 1000 times faster than the fastest internet connection in the world. How can you possibly transmit that much data through a noisy and unstable medium like subspace? And how can you ensure that the signal is not distorted, intercepted, or jammed during the transmission? What if there are interference, delays, or errors? What if there are hackers, pirates, or enemies? How do you know what to receive and what to reject?
Fourth problem: reassembling. Do you have any idea how much precision is required to reassemble a human body from subatomic particles? According to some estimates, it's about 10^-15 meters. That's about the size of a proton. How can you possibly align and bond that many particles in the exact same configuration as before? And how can you ensure that the reconstruction is faithful and functional? What if there are mistakes, glitches, or anomalies? What if there are mutations, defects, or diseases? What if there are changes, alterations, or improvements? How do you know what to create and what to destroy?
As you can see, teleportation is a ridiculously complex and risky process that involves a lot of assumptions, approximations, and approximations. It's a miracle that it works at all, let alone every time. And don't get me started on the ethical, philosophical, and existential implications of teleportation. Is the person who comes out of the transporter the same person who went in? Or is it a copy, a clone, or a duplicate? Does the original person die, disappear, or persist? What happens to their soul, identity, or consciousness? How do you know who you are and what you are?
The bottom line is: teleportation is a scam. It's a cheap and lazy way to avoid the challenges and consequences of space travel. It's a fantasy and a fiction that has no basis in reality. It's a lie that we tell ourselves to escape the harsh and cruel truth. Don't fall for it. Don't trust it. Don't use it. Stay away from it. It's not worth it. It's not real. It's not Star Trek. It's Star Trash.
Time Traveller Dismayed by Lack of Diversity
LONDON - A time traveller who visited England in the year 1623 was shocked and disappointed by the lack of diversity he encountered, sources confirmed.
The time traveller, who identified himself as James Smith, said he was inspired to go back in time after watching popular shows like Bridgerton and The Crown, which depicted a diverse and inclusive British society.
"I was expecting to see people of all colours and backgrounds living in harmony, like in the shows," Smith said. "But instead, I found a homogeneous and oppressive culture where everyone was white and spoke with a funny accent."
Smith said he tried to find some diversity by visiting different places and social classes, but to no avail.
"I went to the royal court, hoping to see some black or Asian nobles, but they were all pale and blonde," he said. "I went to the countryside, hoping to see some indigenous or mixed-race farmers, but they were all fair and red-haired. I even went to the docks, hoping to see some sailors or merchants from other continents, but they were all white and dirty."
Smith said he was also appalled by the casual sexism and violence he witnessed during his time travel.
"They treated women like property, they burned witches at the stake, they fought wars over religion, they died of plague, they had no toilets, they had no Netflix, they had no fun and worst of all they only had two genders," he said.
Smith said he quickly returned to his own time, feeling disillusioned and betrayed by the shows he had watched.
"They lied to me," he said. "They made me think that history was progressive and diverse, but it was actually regressive and monotonous. I wasted my time and money on this trip. I should have just stayed home and watched more Disney shows."
I asked AI if I should see "Lady Ballers" - and at the end of it I felt like Toby Macquire in the "you've already sold me" meme ....
The film Lady Ballers does have a political take on trans men in women's sports, as it is a satire that mocks the idea of biological men competing against biological women in sports. The film is made by The Daily Wire, a conservative media company that is known for its opposition to transgender activism and radical gender ideology. The film's director and star, Jeremy Boreing, said in an interview that the film is "a comedy about the absurdity of the modern left's insistence that men can be women if they say so, and that those men should then be allowed to compete against actual women in women's sports."¹
The film has received mixed reactions from critics and audiences. Some praised the film for its humor and courage, while others condemned the film for its transphobia and bigotry. The film has a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on over 500 reviews, but it has not received any critic reviews yet². The film has also sparked controversy and backlash from LGBTQ+ activists and allies, who accused the film of spreading hate and misinformation about transgender people and their rights³.
The film is currently available to stream on The Daily Wire website, but it is not available on any other platforms or services. The film is rated TV-14 for language, sexual references, and violence. The film's official trailer can be watched here. I hope this helps you with your query. 😊
