My sister and I have a kind of inside joke after we stumbled upon a weird swedish porn featuring cyborgs.

"We are the Bjørg. You will be ass-stimulated. Resistance is requested."

Why were you and your sister watching porn together?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

It wasn't intentional. The internet used to be wild as fuck.

You should use Ö for Swedish, as only Norwegian and Danish use Ø.

The Borg is one thing I'd actually like to see the origins of. Like we can assume it was a race of technologically advanced aliens that decided one day to plug themselves in, then their own prime directive gradually took over as they became less and less human for lack of a better term for the parent species, and more and more machine. And now they're a universal paperclip AI, bent on advancement through assimilation, all traces of who they were completely wiped away

I like to think being a homogenizing swarm is default behavior and the Borg just got really good at it. They're still not as good as The Culture, of course, who make your biological and technological distinctiveness not matter. Or to put it better:

“Even the most urbanely sophisticated, scrupulously empathic and excruciatingly polite civilisation, it had been suggested, was just a hegswarm with a sense of proportion.”

Pretty sure that in Voyager the queen talks about them being once a race that wanted to reach perfection and started augmenting their bodies qith technology

Resistance is futile because I want a collective now. Now! NOW!! NOW!!! /stomps foot

I don't care at all for the way the one on the right is looking at me...

Where can I sign up for this? Asking for a friend.

Yes, please assimilate me. I need a nap and some snacks so bad.
