      I’m in the middle of a Star Trek all-series re-watch. It never really bothered me, but it’s pretty hilarious how they basically use no form of PPE when entering completely alien environments.

    First of all, that second url made me chuckle. “Turns up bizarre sea creatures like nothin.” Like, “Check it homie, these fuckin’ scientists are discovering shit like it ain’t nothin’. Shiiiiiiit.”
