why i love this cold open
- data understands jokes
- data touches newton’s arm and calls him “sir isaac” before explaining physics to him
- that’s actually stephen hawking
- and he’s tired of newton’s shit

the most relatable moment in film history is from Star Trek: Generations when Riker asks a newly-emotional Data to scan for life forms and Data just has A Moment in the middle of the bridge because he can’t contain how much he enjoys life forms
I don’t know and this question has haunted me for my entire life.
Oh! Hey! Thing I know! Ok can you snap your fingers? One on both hand? Can you make a clap sound by smacking your palm on to your fist? If you answered yes too all of these then I’m about to teach you my favorite fidget!
So the basics is snapping one hand, then the other, and finishing it off with a clap. EZPZ🍋ska-weezy. I usually just let my non dominant hand do it’s snap and just sit their waiting to get clapped on. Just work on your rhythm until it sounds like a fleshy horse gallop almost.
Now if you want to do it like my sweet innocent bot Data here, all you gotta do it wait a half beat after the first clap, and do to more claps. “Life fooorms *SNAPSNAPCLAP, CLAP CLAP” like that.
My personal favorite variant of this fidget is snapping twice on each hand, once on the ring finger, once on the rude boy middle finger. 4 snaps, 1 clap, sounds like a fleshy firecracker.
Alas, I cannot snap using my left hand. Data’s incredibly-satisfying-looking gesture is forever just beyond my grasp.
This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears
does your brain ever just punch itself in the gray matter with the sudden force of an unexpected association
Data’s wildest dreams are finally realized, and the answer was just beneath his fingertips.
