emh: captain.... I must confess..... I.... poisoned a man... it was the only way i could get treatment for my dying patients... he was keeping vital care from them...

janeway, taking a huge hit of alien weed off her space bong, probably having just dealt with her 18th temporal paradox this year: poison him harder next time I don't give a fuck anymore

emh: captain???

janeway, slapping her combadge: janeway to neelix. do you have any more talaxian vicodin

[edgebug]

neelix: sure captain, but are you sure you wouldn't like something stronger?

janeway: what do you have.

neelix: i found a little something called... cocaine :)

janeway, intrigued: TALAXIAN cocaine?

neelix: no, just regular earth cocaine. someone programmed the recipe into the replicator :)

emh: PARIS.

as it turns out, it wasn't tom!

seven: i have begun to test the efficacy of my Borg implants' ability to clear toxins from my system

emh, furious: and i suppose that explains why you replicated FIVE KILOS of COCAINE in MY SICKBAY?!

seven: it was logical to replicate more when one kilo had no effect

[edgebug]

emh: one--how were you administrating it?!

seven: i consumed it orally, as is customary with self administered human medications of the era

emh: you ATE a kilo. of cocaine

seven: no. as we established. i ate five kilos

I was reading through the U.S. Copyright Office's "What Does Copyright Protect?" page, mostly to make sure that I wasn't being wrong on the internet, but I absolutely love that this is part of their FAQ:

How do I protect my sighting of Elvis? Copyright law does not protect sightings. [,,,]

There are only 12 questions on the FAQ, and this is one of them.

DISCO DRACULA (1982). From German horror series, John Sinclair.

Everything else aside, you have to admit that this would be the sickest party you’ve ever seen.

[liarsblade]

there's this weird thing people fall into online a lot, where people assume that if the [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged then people will, naturally, do [perceived-to-be-superior] version of [activity] instead. When really it's just as (or more) likely that if [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged people just won't do it at all.

audiobook listeners are not necessarily people who would otherwise do a lot of traditional reading if audiobooks did not exist, many are people who simply would experience zero books. Booktok romance readers would not necessarily be reading the classics if booktok did not exist, many of them would simply not read. Fanfiction writers would not necessarily be novelists if fanfic wasn't an option, many would just be people who didn't write. You know?

problematic rage gap. one partner tries to bring nuance and understanding to a tough situation. the other wants to blow up the earth about it.

I love this trio so much because they're basically the same height, with just a few inches difference between them. They're my Tiny Trio.

the thing about that weird stuff americans call cheese is that if you heat it a little it becomes an excellent burger condiment despite its failings in every other area. such is the fate of the american cultural product

[lootpuppy-deactivated20260205]

the American 'cheese' slice was engineered by our best scientific minds (all borrowed from Germany ofc) to melt perfectly onto a burger and for nothing else. Its only purpose is to compliment the one true product of the American people. The hamburger. (also borrowed from Germany)

[annelidarchive]

reeling a little at the implication that the Kraft Single was a product of operation paperclip

[foone]

in case you were wondering:

American Cheese is a processed cheese made of Cheddar, Colby, or similar, combined with Sodium citrate. The Sodium citrate keeps the cheese fats from separating during the pasteurization process.

The patent for processing American Cheese was granted in 1916 to James L. Kraft, a Canadian of German descent who had immigrated to the US in 1904. Pasteurizing the cheese prevents it from spoiling, allowing it to be shipped farther and stored longer. It was actually WW1 that gave Kraft (and his company) their big break, as the US government provided cheese (in tins) to the armed forces abroad.

So no, Project Paperclip here, although the US Armed Forces and Germans were involved. His ancestors left Germany for Mennonite reasons, not because they were Nazis.

Fun fact: His parents spelled their last name "Krafft". He dropped one of the Fs when he started J.L. Kraft & Bros. Company, which later became Kraft Foods.
