Nestle after every fine/lawsuit:

I just don't know how to feel about this Data quote. The meme is crafted like fine Corinthian leather, but every time I hear this line in Insurrection, I cringe. Spiner is doing his best to sell it, noamsayin. He always does, he gives 100%.

I feel you on this one.. its definitely a bit campy / cringe looking at it now. But I was 16 when this came out and had grown up with Data in TNG and it was definitely a "Oh shit just got real" moment.. at the time

Yeah! If Data's going to use a colorful 20th century metaphor while waving a phaser rifle, then the next scene should have been pure fan service cheese- Bullhonkey Bev, Troi, Riker, Data, Picard and Geordi on horseback, wearing dusters, shepherding the refugees from Planet Botox to safety. We have finally resolved the moral dilemma, it took 2/3 of the run time, the crew are sacrificing their careers for these pacifist dumb dumbs, go all out on the metaphor.

Yeah they should’ve totally leaned into it!

Ireland's Space Program went into overdrive when this was discovered:

At a distance of 10 thousand light-years from the Earth there is a huge cloud of alcohol. The cloud found near the constellation of Aquila is 1000 times the diameter of the Solar System. It contains 400 quintillion liters of alcohol. To absorb such a volume, everyone would need to consume 300 thousand liters of alcohol daily for a billion years.
