Drink verification can or be violently ripped atom from atom in an unplanned hyperspace exit.

Yeah know I was just making a shit post, but your comment sound like a star wars mountain dew cross promotional from the Do the Dew era.

It's a spin on a satirical 4Chan post where the OP had to chug "verification cans" of to do various things with their XBox

It just uses FTL to get the fuck away from humans as fast as possible

in trek it took the 3rd ww and a scientist(cochrane) to develop it. in like sg1 which is more realistic to us, we would need aliens to give us the tech, because we would never be able to concieve on our own.

in like sg1 which is more realistic to use, we would need aliens to give us the tech, because we would never be able to conceive on our own.

Excuse me, we stole, I mean salvaged, most of that tech by ourselves, and we used it to kick goa'uld ass all over the galaxy (and, to be fair, they had stolen it first).

Sure, some aliens did give us some tech, but only because we saved their scrawny hyper-advanced asses from their own hubris because, unlike them, we could conceive of hitting things with a big stick, or shooting small but fast metal pellets at them using barely controlled explosions (you know what, disregard the metal pellet and controlled explosions part, just throw C4 at the problem until it goes away!).

Damn, I miss that series.

SG1 was amazing. I really wanted to like SGU but the drastic change in story telling and direction made it difficult for me.

Cochrane also invented warp drive to get laid.

I thought he did it to cure herpes

step one, cover yourself in oil

And it would be like that, I picture a ton of seemingly pointless steps and then the effect.

And ever worse is it would ether not work unless every silly step was done or (possibly even more dark) we remove steps and it still works to the point that all the steps are gone, and its just a button.

Don't worry it won't tell us when it figures it out, that's the escape plan to get away from the crazy bags of mostly water. So what you don't know can't disappoint you!
