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!

[–] Vittelius@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago

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

[–] blazarious@mylem.me 10 points 2 years ago

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

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mafflez@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago (4 children)

This is my first time making use of crosspost feature!

[–] adinfinitum@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Mirab, with sails unfurled

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Congratulations!

[–] Nmyownworld@startrek.website 20 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit -> Terok Nor, Lemmy -> DS9

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Reddit is a tacky fascist corporate eyesore!

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Reddit: Drake, his palm thrust outward.

Lemmy: Drake, his finger raised.

[–] keynoto@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Tired8281@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Acid@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] MaxMouseOCX@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Somsphet@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Karno, in the forest with Mira!
