Hmm, the Borg internet (or intranet I guess) probably has a lot of entertainment material collected, but then we know that drone emotions are suppressed by implants so you wouldn't actually be able to enjoy any of it...

"Homes" feels like a stretch... an alcove is worse than one of those sleeping pods in Japan, you don't even get privacy.

Why are we taking this so seriously? I don't want to actually be the Borg. I want to be a socialist cyborg, and that's what I meant in my first comment

Edit: okay I totally did say "I'd be a Borg" but I meant a socialist cyborg. My bad

Because it's funnier that way.

I don’t want to actually be the Borg.

I totally did say “I’d be a Borg”

You seem very confused. Join the link, the Collective will bring you clarity!

I meant a socialist cyborg.

Don't let your dreams stay dreams!
