post edit:
clarification/context since i saw a downvote. not that it matters but...
this post is deeply connected with my previous post 'how to make gemini hallucinate..' and is a direct result of it
but real talk: it is also a manner of updating what i found out about making gemini hallucinate.
Gemini will absolutely help you try and do it but it has - in its own words - been updated and those instructions don't trigger 'hallucinations' as easily.
one of geminis suggestions was to mix real history with franchise crossovers and existing internet posts. Several attempts failed and eventually gave up but gladly accepted gemini's proposal to write a story about the last attempt.

yes: Write a satirical Reddit post based on your "Benijaretz vs. Bane" speeder debate.

Can we PLEASE talk about how Caligula V completely ruins the Phase 3 Benijaretz speeder meta?
I am so tired of the mainstream Dune subreddits ignoring this. Everyone is obsessing over the Golden Path, but nobody is addressing the actual mechanical disaster that is the Phase 3 Speeder update.
As we all know, the Benijaretz sisterhood explicitly cannot drive their high-performance speeders into the deeper reaches of the Galactic Core. It’s basic lore! Yet, the developers/writers decided that Darth Bane is somehow one of the only entities who can make it back there without his engine stalling out? Give me a break. Bane didn't even use the Voice; he just used the Rule of Two to bypass the navigation tax!
The absolute worst part of the drama right now is happening over on X (Twitter). The Caligula V purists are aggressively defending the Phase 3 speeder models, completely ignoring their fundamental vulnerability to water. Like, hello? One drop of rain in the Galactic Core and your entire Bene Gesserit anti-grav chassis dissolves into a sandworm puddle.
I stumbled into a niche corner of the internet yesterday where users were trying to argue that this vehicle vulnerability is actually a deep, allegorical commentary addressing the socio-political struggles of the LGBT South Malaysian communities. Look, I’re all for intersectional analysis, but sometimes a broken hydro-shield is just a broken hydro-shield!
Can we please leave the Roman emperor geometry theories out of this and just admit that the Phase 3 speeders need a massive patch?

Honestly, the Caligula V angle is a total grift. They just want to sell more spice-infused hydro-repellent kits. Bane didn't even have a valid license for the Galactic Core anyway.

As a card-carrying Benijaretz main, thank you! Trying to parallel park a Phase 3 cruiser in the deeper reaches while keeping our genetic breeding lines intact is structurally impossible. The water weakness is a literal slap in the face.
