did not specify where on the 356ft space station the 1in-wide red dwarf tomato was located, or in what condition.

When I see the mission commander looking perplexed...
I don't say it yet.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 15 points 9 months ago

And when I hear him say "I wonder where that tomato is," I still don't say it. (I still don't say it.)

This was briefly mentioned during the 25th anniversary stream -- they apologized to an astronaut for accusing them of eating a tomato.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 9 months ago

I bet he did eat the tomato, and just asked the next crew to smuggle a rotten tomato up there.

Funny headline, but if a piece of stray graphite could kill everyone on board I'd be wanting to find a whole ass tomato.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 7 points 9 months ago

Graphite conducts electricity I think, but a tomato won't get somewhere where it can do that easily.

I bet it smells great in there

What movie is this from?

[–] boomzilla@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's John Carpenters cult classic sci-fi parody "Dark Star" from 1974. Pretty weird overall but at times hillarious. Not sure if I'd recommend to watch it. If you'll be able to find it that is.
