Apparently, the Fibonacci Sequence was created to calculate how many rabbits would be born given a certain number of generations.

I STILL work retail/pharmacy. Though no pharmacies here sell pet food. Not that I’m aware of. I wish we did, then more dogs would visit the shop. Thanks for the video link. I give up trying to contact Cobra, I used to leave him messages all the time during the games development about ideas and theories but he never seemed to notice me 
NOTICE ME SENPAI! Contacted him about the food/noodles anyway just in case it sparks something in his or someone elses brain.

@MacForADay You beat me to it…dammit! -) I think the rabbits also points to the NMS ARG community too. We are multiplying almost daily in numbers…breeding like rabbits. I have the “feeling” that we’ve surprised the Puppet Masters in our shear size, talents, mixture, ages, etc. Now with every new challenge, we’ve turned from mere rabbits (takes time to figure things out) to ravenous wolves (devouring everything quickly)!! -)

While we’re on the subject, I used to think your TQQdles (Trademark) sign off on all your posts here at Etarc, was some sort of in joke about the noodle incident I didn’t quite grasp and was too afraid to ask.
So now, I guess I have to ask? Its definitely not what I assumed it was and now I need to know what it actually is, tell me, before this rabbit goes full Wolf and devours you quickly!
While I would love for it to be related (and all the connotations that may arise), I’ve been using TQQdles™ since 1985. Just like -) emote. Back in the day, people signed their online postings (BBS days) with some sort of fancy ascii text image or saying. Since I am lazy, that was too much work so I “invented” mine. The QQ originally meant “looking at you” long ago and has morphed into a more insulting “cry noob cry”…time changes all things. The ™ just added an extra flair…being in California, we are known for whacky flair! -)
As for the -) , also back in those days (before the Internet) on BBS systems, everyone were using the old smiley 
ad nauseam and I decided to be different. The -) is a cyclops smiley. Again, lazy and easy to type.
So…sorry. Nothing here to see, move along! -)

P.s. I could use ʘ) or ᴑ) but there isn’t any easy(lazy) Unicode alt+number keystroke for the special character.

Pet Food
Pet Food that CobraTV received.
On August 3rd, people from the NMS community received different types of pet food, each being for small animals.
Zock: Vitakraft. Drops with Strawberry. For Hamsters. 5.3oz, 150g
Swampthing: Kaytee. Healthy Bits Treat. For Hamsters & Gerbils. 4.75oz, 134.7g
CobraTV: Kaytee. Healthy Toppings, Papaya. For Small Animals. 2.5oz, 70.9g
Unimatrix: Kaytee. For Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and Chinchillas.
Devander: Package was lost.
Each package was from “loop16” and has a blue sticky note that said “For Mr. Noodles ONLY. DO NOT EAT”
So it was more than rabbit food…

Wow! Is there a source for all of this information?
Maybe it’s a tip that more small creatures will come with the update.

Is there a planet type in the hub with :00DA? is that a thing? Thanks in advance. Just a random thought.
To reiterate, it looks like there are individual letters underlined on at least Cobra’s package, the O-O-A, which if you convert the O’s to zeroes, is the same as the header and filename of the ship on the CSD site.
Is every package underlined in the same way? I’ve only seen the picture of Cobra’s.

It also had to do with some ads that came on some of the radio stations when listening for the first few ads before the NMS link was known. People talked a lot about it in the Discord channel and it developed a life of its own

From that photo, it actually looks like the “Do” is underlined, not just the o, making the underlined items DOOA, or D00A if you convert the Oh’s to zeros. which matches the photo of the ship IIRC.
Edit, from the unmatched thread “D00-A – This is the caption on the CSD site for the glitched starfield image, and it links to the ship image, which has a filename of data-00a.”
