Elon on the ocean. Elon, with axe in hand. His ship sinking. Spaz, his brain fried. Elon and Spaz on the ocean. Reddit and twitter, when the people left.

Darmok and Jalad, recaptioned.


I 'll be coming back to rememe this!

I don't know what to tell you. Makes sense to me

[–] blazarious@mylem.me 10 points 1 year ago

Yup, just replace all familiar jargon with fantasy words and you’ll see how it sounds to anyone new

[–] rebelappliance@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The obvious solution is to kidnap them and teleport them to a planet where they will be forced to create an account

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No! Forced to create an account but not on the flagship instances!

[–] Mafflez@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I have no clue what I'm doing... Hap!

[–] Nmyownworld@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is hilarious and so accurate. Source: me, who despite being here chatting with my Star Trek folks, still does not understand much of nothing about Lemmy. I'm learning, though.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit -> Terok Nor, Lemmy -> DS9

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Reddit is a tacky fascist corporate eyesore!

[–] rezz@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The best meme on Lemmy to date. Bravo

[–] blazarious@mylem.me 6 points 1 year ago

We’re slowly getting there!

[–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is my first time making use of crosspost feature!

[–] adinfinitum@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Mirab, with sails unfurled

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Oh nice, I didn't know we could crosspost.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago
[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Congratulations!

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Reddit: Drake, his palm thrust outward.

Lemmy: Drake, his finger raised.

[–] keynoto@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I laughed so hard on this. Nice post!!!

[–] Tired8281@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Janeway, when she was talking about making sense of temporal paradoxes.

[–] Acid@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is pretty much me today or me any time I told any friends about Linux

[–] MaxMouseOCX@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

That's easy... Linux is a lot like windows used to be, except sometimes it's very difficult because you're trying to do something complex, other times it's very difficult because that's just how it is.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it bad that I know what all those phrases mean?

[–] Somsphet@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually I would love an explanation. This bit has always gone over my head. Asi understand it they use stories to communicate but I think I missed context somewhere

[–] astronaut_sloth@mander.xyz 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  • Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra: Two parties coming together in mutual struggle
  • Temba, his arms wide: An act of giving or generosity
  • Shaka, when the walls fell: Failure or destruction.

In other words, in the Fediverse, you can offer content to different instances, and if another instance is bad, you can defederate. Tamarian requires a bit of context to make sense. (and that's why I'm a nerd, Your Honor)

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Karno, in the forest with Mira!
