Surely the internet will not be weird about this. Surely no degeneracy will commence.

Probably The Asylum.

Admittedly, The Asylum has a quite a few rooms within it, but I'd say that the antechamber of The Asylum that abuts the outer wall to Outside comprises the majority of the surface of the Earth and its atmosphere, so that's a pretty big room.

I have a theory about this!

It falls under the umbrella of why transhumanism (or transklingonism, or whatever you like... transbeingism?) is so rare in Star Trek. None of the major powers have fully embraced cybernetic or genetic augmentation. Why?

Earth has the Eugenics Wars which is used to explain how leery they are of genetic augmentation, and it could also explain their conservative attitude towards cybernetics. The encounter with the Borg would just reinforce this pre-existing attitude. But the Klingons, the Romulans, the Cardassians? Why haven't any of them fully embraced either genetic or mechanical augmentation?

The theory is that, in the Star Trek universe, "natural" evolution is the only stable way for species to advance. The augments led to the Eugenics Wars, and you've also got the Bynars who went full cybernetic and nearly had their civilization collapse due to one bad solar flare. The changelings, the Douwd, and the Q, on the other hand, seem to have evolved to their extraordinary powers taking the long route. The Borg are the ultimate example of the dangers of advancing too quickly; they became a cancer species so aggressive that every other sentient species cannot help but ally against them and seek their destruction.

If augmentation were a viable means of advancement in Star Trek you would expect to see more examples of it in the galactic community, but you don't, so there must be a very good reason why it isn't.

That's got to be it! I didn't think I messed up the exact word and date that badly, but then again my brain being as unreliable as it is, I certainly could have. Thank you!

I did not expect an absolutely savage takedown of capitalism in the middle of my Rogue One prequel. 10/10, would unionize my workplace.

Did you see what he did to Dr. Dugong?!

That transparency has lots of uses!

I feel like Michael Myers just grooving way in the distance could get added to any gif to improve it.

"So you're playing baseball, and Martha Kent is the pitcher..."

Q: What's the the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?

A: About a billion dollars.

One time in high school, I heard somebody yell "Steve, you [bundle of sticks], stop talking to your girlfriend and let's go!" and Steve was in fact at the time talking to his girlfriend.

The sheer concentration of cognitive dissonance has stuck with me to this day.
