I want a physical release of Subspace Rhapsody, album and the episode. I want a vinyl. I want a playbill, a poster, this episode was laser designated to explode my brain and make it the only thing I’m capable of thinking of
worf: captain, we must proceed with extreme caution. we must attack now with a show of force
picard: fuck you. FUCK you. no. fuck off
odo: captain, I’m going to pretend to be an end table and spy on our colleagues like, all the time. we should literally bleed every new visitor to see if they’re a humanoid. also your tailor wants to know if you need new pants and if he’s “allowed” some more light war crimes
-possums hang out in their mother’s pouches after birth almost 4 times longer than they stay in the womb, sometimes even more! (free housing woo)
-possums in northern regions have much shorter tails than most opossums. it’s theorized this could be from frostbite (poor guys)
-the Virginia opossum has more teeth than any other North American land mammal (50 whole teeth, dang dude save some for the rest of us)
-when a possum “plays dead” it is also doing everything in its power to look super sick and gross to trick predators. it will foam at the mouth, drool all over, and excrete a foul-smelling fluid that smells like a decaying animal to make predators think the possum has been dead for a while
-opossums playing dead can cause them to go into shock. playing dead is an instinctive action and normally lasts 30 seconds to 3 minutes, but if they go into shock they can play dead for 20 minutes to 4 hours (or MORE), that’s why you should NEVER pick up or bury a “dead” possum, as moving it while it is in shock can actually kill it :(
-baby possums go “choo choo” (or make sneezing noises) to call to their mothers :)
