--- Quote from: snubnose on 17 Sep 2020, 00:07 ---I'm really curious if theres actually 2048 different fruits - or if they had to switch the naming scheme at some point.
P.s.: Nevermind, apparently there are 7500 kinds of apples ALONE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apple_cultivars

P.S.S. They probably wouldn't be able to use any apple names, seems a certain computer company has a lot of lawyers and goes after anyone that uses similar names, logos, or even UI design choices.

Someone better tell Apple Martin she is banned from using her given name...
All joking aside, this is actually an issue that pro wrestlers have when they leave one promotion or another. A name is only "owned" by a company if it's created by them. Your given name isn't owned by them, they legally can't bar you from using it. They can bar you from presenting as being part of a family or associated with a company, but they can't bar you from using your own name.

--- Quote from: Wingy on 17 Sep 2020, 08:16 ---Interesting speculations, all. Buuuuuut. What does Beeps smell with? Her body draws her face on a screen at will, so there's no physical nose...
--- End quote ---
Just because you don't have a physical representation of a nose does not mean that you don't have olfactory sensors in your face or elsewhere on your head...
BenRG:
Can someone tell me when Beepatrice and Lemon swapped personalities because the stunt that Beeps is pulling right now is something I'd expect from Lemon or Melon, not from a certain quiet and insecure test equipment observer! That said, Roko has gained another bit of evidence to convince her subconscious that this is definitely her body: Traumatic scent memory. She'll probably be flashing back on that odour for months!
Meanwhile... Yeah, this sucks for Roko but issues like this can't be easily 'cured'. As I posted yesterday, the real optimistic most Roko can hope for is coping strategies based on awareness of what triggers episodes and a knowledge of how to 'reset' herself rather than just lapse into a sort of panic attack. 'Fixing' thing is a long-term goal and not a certain one.

Just because she doesn't have a nose, doesn't mean that Beepatrice doesn't have olfactory sensors. They may even be externally-mounted like an insect's antennae.

Interesting question.
--- Quote from: Gyrre on 17 Sep 2020, 20:51 ---Maybe her smell receptors are at the underside base of her chin? They could also be tucked away in her hairline.
--- End quote ---
Good ideas.

Yeah, uhhh.... not sure that explanation was entirely necessary.
Cornelius:
Just a thought, but perhaps the olfactory sensors are also necessary for her other job. Over X rpm, the trademark scent is starting to get burnt overtones. or some such. User experience and all that.
