Cable management doesn’t matter if:
I built the mess under my desk, that doesn’t mean I know what the cables do any more.
I dunno, I always thought it was meant to mimic organics.
“Cable management” inside the human body is horrendous. So it felt like in the mixing of machine and biology, the machines had to become more biological in the way they worked to function properly in tandem with the Borg biology.
That’s exactly it. Cable management is a top-down design philosophy. The Borg are a collective that organically integrates biological, mechanical, electronic, and any other systems that they find useful–it’s quite literally the polar opposite of a top-down design philosophy.
It would be more surprising if the Borg had tidy cable management, because that implies some hierarchy. Actually, the Borg cubes are a little out of place in that regard. Spheres or fractal-ish structures would make more sense.
Borg were scarier before the concept of the Queen.
I kind of forgot about the Queen… Totally agree.
Capitalism is more elegant before the concept of fascism.
because that implies some hierarchy
Yup. See: Conway’s Law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway’s_law
This indeed works in both directions and it’s possible to gain some insight into an organization based on its behavior and output.
That’s probably it, but in my head they just assimilated too many people like me.
Plus when the cables get broken / damaged, the cube just fixes itself like a biological healing, there aren’t borg drones out working on the hull

Also, has anyone ever noticed that the Borg don’t have printers?
Want to destroy the Borg … just patch one 2000s era Epson Printer with a shitty software driver to one of their ships and watch all hell break loose
Calm down there Satan
No species deserves to be genocided by faulty printer drivers
Obviously they treat the knowledge as the thought virus it is
I can excuse forced assimilation, but I draw the line at poor cable management.
You can excuse forced assimilation?
(I want you to know that I tried to add an image of Shirley reacting, but it failed 4x, so you’ll have to use your imagination.)
Speaking of failed images, I can actually see your memes from lemm.ee now! Not sure what changed, but yay.
Well hot damn!
I haven’t changed anything either, so we must owe a thank you to someone somewhere.
To whom it may concern,
Thanks!
When your mind has the power of the Borg collective, you don’t need silly inefficient structures to make it easier for the human mind to handle.
Neither spaghetti cables or spaghetti code are a hindrance when there is brutal efficiency to be had.
It’s for dramatic effect
They’re such Drama Queens smh
They must have assimilated some theater techs.
Maybe they’re just a bunch of sexy snakes.
That’s a pretty realistic depiction of every server room I’ve ever been in.
If it ain’t broke, don’t adapt it.
Limited to non-existent RGB too, obviously not advanced at all
They have plenty of RGB. It’s just that they set it all to G.
They only use the other colours for pride month to let organic know that the borg will accept anyone whether they like it or not
They have the R on the drones themselves sometimes.
Lul, true. Capable of RGB & not constantly using asynchronous rainbow effects on everything is a true sign of advanced borgies.
It’s ok everything seems to be working
