It was long after the reunion which I realized this and I feel ashamed for all times I’ve rewatched the series since.

I watched a lot of it back in the day and by like season 10 (I have no clue how long it ran) I realized it was super boring and bad. There would be jokes as lame as “dude owns a Nintendo 64”. That was the entirety of the joke.
Also there is a long running arc about a main character who is physically incapable of talking to women unless he is intoxicated (aka alcohol).
I thought these were cigarettes at first glance.
No, and that is based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfar which people thought was a rip off of Project Haily Mary by Andy Weir (which I read and loved). When the trailer for Spaceman was released, Weir had to go on social media and tell fans Spaceman of Bohemia was published before his novel.
EDIT: I did not read Spaceman of Bohemia.
Or worse, you meet the super intelligent giant spider your human ancestor left behind, and you accidentally start a war with them because no one realizes the computer on the ancient satellite is made to behave like the project founder is trying to make first contact.
Tap for spoiler
The project founder accidentally died, the computer AI fails to keep them alive and the spiders start to think the satellite is a god. Then they enslave the native ants.
The big problem is no one remembered to tell the humans on Earth about the experiment. Or the humans on the generation ship that knew died centuries ago.
EDIT: If you haven’t figured it out, I’m describing the novel Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Huh. Is that good or bad?
I don’t pay attention to TikTok. I’m not on there.
Why the fuck does this dude care so much about one social media platform being available here? Is he perving on dancing teenagers?
Damn it. Are they all crazy because of the lack of water they aren’t getting?
I can top that. I saw a dog at a Korean barbecue restaurant. The ones that serve raw meat for you to cook at your table. Except this restaurant did it buffet style. I never went back.
Well this is both “correct” and wrong simultaneously. The Final Cut, which is the canonical version, states that Deckard is a replicant.
However if you watch 2049, that is specifically a sequel to the non-canon theatrical cut. So the statement would be incorrect in that instance.
I took one college course and couldn’t handle it. On top of that I was the weird student that wanted to use a Mac instead of the school’s own computers. So anytime I had a problem, the teacher would just blame me using Xcode instead of Visual Studio.
My own meme and it applies here.

I am unable to find a news report now, but I am certain I read one back in 2018 or 2019. I believe that Conservation International (an organization that helped develop the C.A.F.E. standard the company uses) was discovered covering up the certification of one of the farms in Brazil. As I remember reading, that a farm was at the time listed somewhere as being certified but after slave labor was discovered, CI uncertified the farm and attempted to claim it failed to meet the C.A.F.E. standards, thus never was awarded certification. They weren’t saying the certification was revoked; it never had any.
Here are three different reports regarding three different instances in Brazil. https://news.mongabay.com/2019/05/slave-labor-found-at-second-starbucks-certified-brazilian-coffee-farm/
