Tiny ideas (techfolk)
- Software cocktails: Software as analogous to recreational alcohol or other drug consumption. Combinations of parameters like ingredients in a cocktail.
- Hiking trails in the void. Polycephaly or possibly Jeffrey as tour guide.
- Gullible techfolk try putting sugar in their pipework (in the mistaken belief it will improve perfomance, like the myth about putting sugar in a car's fuel tank) and ending up in the repair bay getting gooey toffee pulled out of their various pipes. Doing the 'sugar challenge' ends up as a meme among stupid techfolk like the cinnamon challenge is among stupid humans. Several angry PSAs from aggrieved medgineers go out.
- Isolated pockets of Skibidis/Alliance still don't know about the Union.
- When techfolk use the š symbol, it refers to 18 days old rather than 18 years old. Techfolk do all their growing up as software in server farms, and they get loaded into hardware bodies once their minds are mature. However, they need a few days' adjustment to get used to having physical bodies. It's considered unwise to immediately start exposing a fresh mind to things like porn, quantum physics or quadratic equations.
- Robots can 'eat' batteries. They don't ingest them; they can just pop them in a specialist Hole that sucks out all the power and stores it in the robot's own batteries/capacitors.
