List of Star Trek species who know about baseball due to Captain Benjamin Sisko
Prophets: Sisko used baseball to explain the concept of linear time to them.
Ferengi: Quark learned about baseball to examine potential business opportunities.
Unidentified imagination aliens: One of them took the form of a baseball player based on Sisko’s interests.
Trill: Dax is an old friend of Sisko’s, they probably learned about it during life as Curzon, then definitely learned about it as Jadzia.
Cardassian: Possibly. I’m assuming that during the Dominion occupation of DS9, Gul Dukat at least took thirty seconds to learn what the baseball was for.
Vorta: If Gul Dukat bothered to learn, he probably rambled about it to Weyoun while drunk. If not, all Vorta field commanders are required to read Sisko’s psychographic profile. Baseball is in that thing somewhere.
Jem’Hadar: Guards were present during the exchange of an antique baseball card which Jake Sisko wanted to procure for his father.
Bajoran: Kira accompanied Sisko to a holosuite game, later learned to play when brought in by Sisko for his team.
Klingon: Through Worf, same circumstances as Kira.
Vulcan: Captain Solok and at least a team’s worth of his Vulcan crew learned the game in order to play against the Niners.
Changelings: Odo learned the rules in order to be the umpire, that knowledge would’ve been transferred to Laas and later the rest of the Founders when he returned to them. Every Founder now knows how to play baseball in excessive detail.
Because of Sisko, baseball knowledge extends across the galaxy and beyond the boundaries of time.
Also in the Bumblebee movie during the fight with Blitzwing!
is it some kind of unspoken rule at hasbro that bumblebee has to fall off a cliff
倒序词：Inverted/Palindromic Words
I’m sure you’ve noticed in your Chinese studies that there are some words for which you can switch the order of the characters and get a new word! In Chinese these can be called 倒序词. I’ve put together a list of 20 倒序词 pairs, most of which I’ve stumbled across over the past couple years. It’s so interesting to see the relationships between the words! Most example sentences are via Pleco.

Ah...that sudden realisation that Earthspark could, despite being cute as heck, well turn out to be the darkest Transformers cartoon yet.
JUST SOME FAN THEORIES, BUUUT...

Megatron has be shadowplayed by Ghost, but doesn't realise it. In fact he probably thinks teaming up with the Autobots was his idea, but it wasn't.
Optimus not only knew about that, but he went along with it because he was desperate to end the war. I mean, it'd clearly gotten spectacularly nasty. Bee mentions starving bots, Soundwave being in such a bad way that one of his cassettes exploded when he tried to eject it. That's pretty damn grim, but who said only the Decepticons were effected like that. How many bots died, and what did Optimus really sacrifice to win the war?
OR
Both Megatron and Optimus have been shadowplayed and neither know it. Optimus as an attempt to control the Autobots and Megatron as an attempt to bring the Decepticons to heel. The latter didn't work, so they've resorted to capturing the Decepticons instead, with the intent of shadowplaying them all. Why? Potentially as a puppet army to use in defence against other Cybertronians...or just against them in general.
Starscream knows what's really going on, but when he tries to tell everyone nobody believes him. Because it's Starscream.
Anyone else think the arachnamechs look a bit like Quints? Just me?
Okay, the spacebridge is down, but there's no way the Autobots would just leave Optimus and the others there, surely? They have space travel tech, why haven't they sent a rescue party? Same with the Decepticons.
Oh, and my last fan theory? IF ANY CARTOON IS GOING TO GIVE US THE DJD THEN IT'S THIS ONE.
I wanna know what Admiral Janeway's doctor saw that made them order her to give up coffee - and worse, what convinced her to follow that order. I mean, this is the woman that drove her starship through some mysterious Delta Quadrant nebula just to get her caffeine fix!! Whatever her condition is, it must be nothing short of total bodily annihilation.
Drift ends up back on Lost Light high command because he’s the only person who can read Megatron’s atrocious handwriting
It annoys me how a common trope on Star Trek is ‘tee hee, I’m a workaholic, I have twenty stardates of leave saved up because I never take a break’ and that’s supposed to be something we admire. Take a holiday, idiot. Especially if you’re the boss. Set a fucking example. It’s the future now and you’re better than this toxic shit.
The best part about this scene was it was actually Migleemo who called Meema, not the other way around ("she needs to see her boy in the captain's chair!").
Star Trek: Lower Decks "Trusted Sources"
I love the attention to detail in this show! It always irks me when shows just use random physics equations for science-y scenes so this was a real delight when watching the episode
All of the equations that appear around Rok as she tries to figure out how to get to the Protostar are real equations and formulas needed to make the correct calculations.
