Every time in TNG someone says a percentage, in numerical order.
Never ceases to amaze, the lengths one will go to for trivia.
I like how we hit 50% at halfway through the video.
Eighty-six percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I watched it all. Why? I don’t know.
How do people make these? From time to time I have an idea but I have neither the source material nor a searchable script database.
My guess would be download and extract a zip file of all the scripts from somewhere like here, then use grep to search the scripts. Torrent all the episodes. Spend a lot of time in a video editor. That’s what I pictured when read the caption, “This seemed like a good idea at the time”
I’ve never done this, but hypothetically if you wanted to cut down on manual work you could probably use subtitle files to extract and sort clips of where percentages are being said. Then you could manually trim them down (or use some sort of voice to text software to do it for you?)
That’s a great resource, thanks!
Autism.
I don’t mean it in a bad way at all, just…literally it’s autism.
I’m surprised there’s only 3x 47%.
