Stuff like this has also been implemented using water pumps/valves, and even in Minecraft using redstone.

Yeah, my Star Trek knowledge starts and ends with the movies (both the OG Trilogy and the two Abrams films), so most of these meme might as well be in Klingon. But everyone else is having so much fun that it's fun laugh along like I understand the jokes.

On a related note, if I wanted to get onto Star Trek, what series does everyone recommend starting with?

Yeah, I considered including at least the Simarillion in the calculations, but the sales numbers for LoTR and the Hobbit are so staggeringly large that including his other works seemed pointless.

You raise a very good point about holding him responsible for all the works he inspired through. He invented a whole new sub-genre of fantasy, leading to hundreds of millions (if not billions) more books being printed.

And think of the movies! I wonder how many trees died to print scripts and build sets for 6 movies and a TV series

I personally really love my Babish Chef's knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point

Most sources I've read state that Opossum refers exclusively to North American Opossums and Possum is exclusively Australian Possums.

However, this one article on Meriam-Webster.com claims that the two spellings are interchangeable

Right, and in most American dialects they are pronounced the same. Whereas Centimeter is pronounced differently and does not have an "ometer"

because I didn't want a single purpose appliance when I could make it in a pot.

In case anyone else has the same issue, you can make rice just as easily in an electric pressure cooker (e.g. Instapot) which has a much wider use case.

Although, I've never used an actual rice cooker, so I can't testify to the difference in quality
