Subject: Minimum number of people speaking in unison to sound like a Borg Collective
Strange question but yeah.
My dad got married on the weekend in an Anglican church and not being a believer my mind wandered and besides thinking the cross staff would make a good vampire weapon, I noticed how similar the congregation replying to the priests sounded like a Borg Collective.
Probably a hundred people or more there but all the voices together sounded so much like the Borg speaking in Star Trek.
I assume at some point various harmonies of different voices even out for that flat emotionless speech.

Not so much like the Borg. But multiple voices helps. As does the flat tone caused by trying to keep the rhythm in unison.
This tutorial on how to sound like the Borg is interesting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4LUf_KLX-W4

I just downloaded Audacity for PC, recorded myself saying the same thing 20 times with slightly different voice pitches. I then lowered the pitch by 10%, slowed it down by 5%, and voila. Instant borg.

The Borg would say religions are irrelevant, islam, christianity are irrelevant has there is no evidence of a God, Buddhism is irrelevant has there is no evidence of reincarnation.
Humans who pray are irrelevant and now they will be assimilated.

I went to high school with a person whose last name is Borg. That’s not mythical.

What I’d call straight and narrow cyborgs, no sense of having an open mind to things, especially ancient story telling.
I can hear 7 of 9 saying “Religion is irrelevant, there is no evidence of any God anywhere in the universe.”

The point really is that to be religious about being irrelevant is that you have a habit.
Some people need to be hooked up to a drip.

Actually, come think of it. Yes.
