I still like how the least realistic part of this entire episode was the metric system in common use in the US.
- Also they were using Health Care IDs for identification, from the universal healthcare, that's the most unrealistic part.
  
  You only saw people in the sanctuary districts using them though, right? Arguably, that's just Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program.
  
  It could have been wasnt it for orange man.
- As I have noted elsewhere, that's just because the guy who installed the clock didn't bother to change the units to fahrenheit.
Isn't it 15 degrees every day in San Francisco
- Don't ruin it for us.
  
  Did a 5 mi hike from West Portal to Funston the other day and it was 60f and melting me. Then I sat at home in avenues where it was 60f and I was freezing.
- Fun fact: in aviation, a "standard day" at sea level is defined as 29.92 inches of mercury of pressure an 15°C in temperature, and San Francisco is a coastal town so it's near as makes no odds to sea level.
  
  15°C is basically the most average temperature on Earth.
  
  Why is it defined in inches and centigrade? Why not inches and fahrenheit or cm and centigrade? Mixing systems hurts my brain :(
- Not to mention that there's a temperature range throughout the day.
It was not a prediction. They literally time traveled there. Did you guys even watch the show?
- They have a show!?
  
  Yes. At Quark's every Thursday, the Dabbo girls do a Rockettes number.
Star Trek accurately predicted...

Star Trek accurately re-enacted
- pre-enacted
  
  One fan theory is that Star Trek is told from the perspective of a time traveler using the technology available at the time to tell the stories of something in the future.
  
  So it would be re-enacted from that perspective.
  
  re-preordained?
Me getting memes ready for tomorrow:
- Why meme tomorrow what you can meme today?
  
  Don't let your memes be memes.
- Lower Decks!! Lower Decks!!
Ugh you know what I just realized guys

The Bell Riots won't happen tomorrow because the timeline got fucked up when Gene Roddenberry told the stories of the future. The warnings about the Temporal Cold War was really about the fact that we're already knee deep in it.
- DAAAAAANIEEEELLLLS!
- Yeah we live in the timeline where the sanctuary districts didn’t happen so we never riot we just keep collectively watching everything burn to the ground.
Holy hell
The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.
They clearly consulted the wormhole prophets for this one
Yet they had nothing to say on the price of a Big Mac .
- ~~Surge pricing~~ Riot pricing
Aw shit
~~One slight, tiny, intsy-wintsy, little discrepancy: 8/30/2024 is a Saturday; not Friday.~~

If ever there was a day to not wake up, I think today is that day. 🤦‍♂️
- I don't know where you live, but it's Saturday, August 31st here.
  
  Can confirm, the 30th was a Friday for me
- Crew, I think dohpaz fell into a spatial anomaly. OPS get a tractor beam on him so we can slingshot him to the right date.
- Might want to look at your phone real quick. You happen to be quite wrong.
  
  If you told someone 30 years ago to look at their phone to get the time they'd look at you weird.
- Dohpaz, friend, pal, please... look at the date.
- This was like, one of the easiest things ever to double check before posting my dude.
