8	'''[[https://www.youtube.com/sacredcowshipyards Sacred Cow Shipyards]]''' is a web series on Website/YouTube created in 2020 by a currently unknown and somewhat snarky entity. The channel purports to offer "a serious, quasi-historical, (mostly) sober look at some of the most famous ships, vessels, installations, and other such things from science fiction and science-fiction-adjacent content". Once you get past the UnreliableNarrator concerning the "The Dockmaster"'s origins and the current FramingDevice of an AIIsACrapshoot-tending-towards-SpitefulAI looking in on "humies'" science fiction offerings, the channel is AnalysisChannel that tries to look at whether or not individual ships and other mechanical systems make sense primarily in-universe, but also as a (supposedly) objective, external observer.

12	!!Tropes:
13
14	* ActionHoggingOpening: While the rest of the video will probably consist of still images, an occasional intro is used that actually depicts the Shipyards' [[OminousCube Cubifier in action]].
15	* AnalysisChannel: The channel's apparent entire existence is to kibitz about anything and everything the Dockmaster finds annoying in science fiction stories.
16	* ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: Some of the episode intros are only a few seconds long.
17	* HatesEveryoneEqually: No race of organics will not be referred to as "squishies" and no squishy shall escape his disdain.
18	* OminousCube: No one really knows what the Dockmaster does with all those cubes, but a lot of people sure do keep asking.
19	* {{Worldbuilding}}: The Dockmaster has made repeated references to the Shipyards themselves that are inherently contradictory, but one can be fairly certain he has a collection of KillerRobot AIs at least visiting the station occasionally, including [=GLaDOS=] and [=HAL9000=].
20	* WhatMeasureIsANonSuper: Just to drive home the point, suffice to say the Dockmaster has a... pretty low opinion of "humies".
