@TheLethalCarrot I see that now I double check; I was confused by the 1 rep, no badge, newbie question.
@Stormblessed Not exactly; it's the story I want to propose as the answer to that question, but I need the title first. :)

Wait what?
How is a 1-rep user able to comment?
It's not an answer turned to comment.
"Hannah" didn't flag because the comment isn't a generic auto-comment after a flag.
So Hannah should have 50 rep. But they only hav e1?
I'm not seeing any particular deleted posts which would have given them the rep temporarily.

Q: Is Control in DSC being used as an easter egg?

morboSpoiler Alert So, I just watched the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Perpetual Infinity" (S02E11). Control is a pure mechanical AI. But I had a suspicion. When Control took over Leland's body, the scene seemed to be very reminiscent of Borg. Struggling is pointless... Resistance is futile... eve...

@Jenayah There's a system that automatically turns certain really short answers into comments. I know for sure that it does it for answers that link to the question that it's on; it might do it for "possible duplicate" answers as well.
@Mithrandir oh, alright
It's one of the... odder quirks of the system.
funny it isn't even registered as an answer.
Okay, so, this has been controversial. If anyone here agrees that movie-ID questions shouldn't be dupes of novel-ID questions, only one reopen vote is needed, just saying.
17:41
poke @Mithrandir maybe

A: Are questions about works that cross mediums considered dupes?

SkoobaWhile answers don't always make a duplicate, they can give us a good idea. (Further reading) It is because the answer given to the question yours was marked a duplicate of effectively answers your question. One answer was almost directly copied and pasted from that question. The answer covers b...

@Gallifreyan eeeeh true enough for not ID but ID breaks convention
I mean, it just looks plain silly to read "TV show" being closed as dupe of "YA novel"
17:57
I haven't voted either way, but it doesn't seem too outrageous to me. If one can easily be deduced from the other, why not?
Because you wouldn't be searching novel questions to begin with, when you're looking for a movie?

What happens if a bounty goes to a CW?
@Jenayah But the thing is, the book is a novelization of the TV show

Gluck: We did keep Uncle Ben's death just as it happened, Spidey. It's the singular motivating incident of your origin story. Spider-Man: You mean my life. ...

@Stormblessed yeah, but the TV-ID seeker didn't know there was a novel, and the novel-ID seeker didn't know it was based on a movie, was it?
@Jenayah I guess

so thos can't really be dupes...
Why do these questions have on them? Doesn't seem useful, really
Also I just noticed that on tag information, the info tag is uncapitalized but the other tabs all have a capital first letter
That seems a little off

Q: Missing capital in "info" tab of tag page

JenayahVery very minor issue, but at some point, a capital "I" went missing in the "info" tab below, whereas all the other tabs are capitalized. Happens on the 4-5 sites I've tested, likely on all others. It has apparently been so since at least March 5th. It used to be capitalized, per this Arch...

@Jenayah I guess we both should lead the pedantry club
As for Kubrick, mh. The questions are about directors, their choices etc... So I guess the tag is fine

Q: How can this question be a duplicate of a question that is not at all the same question?

AlexThis question was closed as a duplicate of this question. The reason stated was that the the answers to the latter question address the former question as well. The problem is that the two questions are different. The content of the answers to the second question that addressed the first question...

@Jenayah weird, when trying to find a newer Archive capture to see how recent the tag problem was, the newest one on is also January 5th like the one in your Meta
Maybe the crawler was busy that day?
Back when @Alex was becoming active on SFF, and kicking hornets' nests with Meta about dupe-closures, and posting four self-answers to that one ahahaha
What crawler?
@Jenayah Whatever the Internet Archive uses to archive things automatically, if there is one
I doubt only users are archiving all that stuff constantly
oh, alright. Didn't know it was called that
This stupid IA viewer takes SO LONG to load
Universal Paperclips is much better than I'd expect... spent two hours playing yesterday lol
18:33
what's that?
@Jenayah A future movie
It's a clicker
Is that Cookie Clicker with paperclips...?
@Jenayah Actually no
It is deeper
There's a plot (currently farming paperclips, so I don't exactly know what is going on, but apparently there are a bunch of stages and you go to space or something)
yeah... Like in Cookie Clicker :)
you have weird space rainbows or stuff and angry grandmas turn into leeches

Q: Goku speed at the end of the original series

Jorge CórdobaThe only canon reference to speed that I’ve been able to derive comes from the Saiyajin series. The snake way has 1 million kilometres and it takes Goku between 1 day and 4 hours and 2 days to complete his way back. That will give us a sustainable speed of, at minimum, 5km per second, with his s...
