Why do people do this shit to themselves?

I swear if the Borg came down some people would be lining up to join the club.

Insert robo-eye since the left eye is not perfect 20/20

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Anything breaks, we'll just replace it.

Including the brain. Especially the brain.

[–] I_R0_B0_T@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Borg-Garek, is that you?

[–] JuvenoiaAgent@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

Free healthcare, housing, energy... and I won't have to think anymore, sounds great to me!

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 43 points 4 months ago (1 children)

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

I heard the Eldar have a really fascinating new-
Why are you all aiming at me?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

They are tech writers, that's their job

[–] FatsoJackson@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago

my private fan theory is that the Borg are actually the good guys but we only ever hear the gReAt fEdErAtIoN's POV

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

If it actually worked, it would be really useful for a lot of people (it's me. I'm a lot of people)

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, if the Borg weren't so violent towards non Borg they would be the actual end goal of a lot of nerds. You're telling me we could be socialist cyborgs in space?

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

But the federation is already socialist.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So? Can't the Borg also be socialist? We have multiple capitalist groups right here in real life

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well sure, I just don’t know why I would join the socialist group that wants to remove free will when I’m already part of one that doesn’t.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago
[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

And has cyborgs

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Star Trek Spoiler

See Picard series 2 for that

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 4 months ago

Quoting the renowned Mike Wazowski: "How many kids you got in there?"

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Journalists? Probably just to see how it will go wrong and report about it so we don‘t have to.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would be lining up to become part of the Borg tbf. It's basically giga-socialism

[–] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

If it wasn't for the whole forcing people thing, they probably would.

Their tech is much better, and you get as close to immortality as you can get, since your body is maintained by their tech, and your mind gets added to the hivemind.

Short of death, you'd never have a medical problem again.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

I'd join the Borg in an instant.
