dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

SNW S01E01 also placed the Eugenics Wars at the start of WW3, as one of several conflicts that ended up escalating.

The season 2 episode is about how it got moved up in the timeline with a pointless in-cannon explanation, I was okay with it being hand waved like the klingon ridges before they fucked that up too. I'm kinda sick if Khan and the eugenics wars being a well they keep going back to in newer trek in general, his out of universe fame has seeped into the universe. The Darth Vader effect

I agree that lots of things that have production explanations don't need in-universe explanations.
