No, but the ship's universal translator converts my meows into text so that I can post on Lemmy.

It was wildly difficult to set up, but the captain signed off on it after Geordi mumbled something about "federation" to him.

You were supposed to say "Meow" and then I was gonna post the picture of Homer saying "Damn straight".

You're a pretty cat, and a good cat.

That is indeed a very sexy and interesting piece of Data (wink wink, nudge nudge)

Data: check

Beautiful: check

I’m no expert, but this looks pretty cut and dried.

[–] pico@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

You definetly do

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So we’re just stealing the top posts of all time from Reddit now?

[–] teft@startrek.website 22 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I made this because I'm a trekker and saw the community pop up in all. But just out of curiosity I went and looked at the top 100 of all time for reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful and my favorite android is not in it so not sure what you mean.

Way to assume we've seen this.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Data is one of my favorite uses of androids as a metaphor for neurotypicality. Up there with the T2 T-800.

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

The Data appears accurate.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only acceptable use of "data is."

Comrade Data on the War in Ukraine, "This is just a thing... and things can be replaced. Lives cannot."

[–] PostmodernPythia@beehaw.org 13 points 1 year ago

Finally, someone who understands the assignment.

[–] Scrof@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

Can confirm this is some gorgeous Data.

I know I'm jumping to another universe but when you died I ugly-cried for 10 minutes at minimum.

It's ok. Phendorana and I are hanging out on the spiritual plane with ~~Venli~~ Eshonai.
