old but classic

This one is so reposted in my Star Trek groups that they ban you if you post it. Just a heads up if you're just now getting into Star Trek stuff...

Haha ok. I’m in my 30’s and haven’t seen this one until today hah.

As a trekkie I feel kinda obligated to point out that that is not how transporters works in Star Trek

On top of that, why would he be writing it down to communicate with Scotty?

[–] Butters@lemmywinks.com 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe the shitter was drunk and lost his communicator, and somehow thought this would work.

Maybe a better version of this joke would be something like

Dear lord, Please don’t rapture me yet, I’m taking a sh…

[–] AlgonquinHawk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it’s that line up on in the drawing that also helps visualize the poo streak whilst getting beamed up that does it for me haha

[–] Butters@lemmywinks.com 2 points 1 year ago

But you don’t get beamed “up” is my point.

You just get teleported.

If you’re raptured, then you get moved up towards the sky.

The best jokes are always the ones that need explaining.

Yes the vertical line is very funny. If only I could recreate that in text that would render correctly on everyone’s device.

There was an interesting conversation about this meme on that other website once. Once transporters got biofilters (TNG era, iirc), you could presumably use them to defecate and deurinate the body during transport. Not only would it prevent unsightly messes in the transporter room in cases like this, but it would probably give you a little spring in your step after a tiring away mission.

waiting for the episode where somebody suffers injuries because they've transported too much and there are biological complications because they didn't have anything passing through them

Taking a what? The suspense is killing me!

Taking a sheltie for a walk? Taking a shelling from enemy artillery? Taking a shale core sample for geological study? Taking a ship across the sea to find India? Taking a shrew for a pet? Taking a shut-in for a wife?

The possibilities are endless!

It's raing shit, hallelujah

Funny as hell but I'm not sure how Scotty was supposed to get this message.
