What scifi weapon would you want?
One of the Lazy Guns from Against A Dark Background by Iain M. Banks. Point at target. Pull trigger. Target is destroyed in some ridiculous way, like having a piano fall on it.
But don't point it at the sun. It doesn't like that.

Then I choose the pistol (given the name Rimpoche by an AI Bhudda) from Redrobe by Jon Courtenay Grimwood. It provides target identification, auto-aim and sarcasm.

What do you put on your breakfast sandwich?
Just lately - one fried egg, salt, nothing else. It's basic, but it's what I'm enjoying.

The original script (ironically written by the screenwriter who did the Catwoman script) was a much better movie. You can blame this on Executive Fuckery.

Isn't that because human computer technology was based on reverse-engineering a downed alien scout ship?

Ah, but you're forgetting - that only happened because the trained cartographer with the 3D mapping drones... got them lost.

Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?
It's not just you, but it's not just Lemmy either. Anywhere I go, I need to prune subs or else my feed becomes more and more pessimistic.
I think as a species we have a mental bias that focuses on what needs changing and not what's okay as it is.

Nice suit he's wearing there.
I believe according to his own rules you can stone him to death for mixing two different fibres.

Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country?
For-profit social media, certainly. I don't trust it anymore. Astroturfing, data-harvesting, I feel like they're all made to fuck us over in some way.

What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?
The Last Jedi.
I left the theatre angry that they spent enough money to take mankind back to the moon on something that stupid.
