We gotta upload your brain into the fediverse so lemmy will never run out of content

Just tell me what I need to plug in.

I think you have single handedly brought about a meme renaissance

Except in this thread somehow. But it's only a couple hours old. There's still time.

Its very appropriate, after all Picard was the one who figured out how to communicate via memes.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's also a completely unplanned coincidence (because I didn't know how active I was going to be when I signed up for Lemmy), but "The Picard Maneuver" in Trek gives the appearance of being in two places at once.

Liar, everyone knows it’s pulling down your uniform every two minutes because the costume awkwardly slides up during normal wear

I can't help but think of the battle tactic second...

That's why I picked the uniform tug for my profile pic.

Even the definition is in two places at once

He sees you when you're sleeping

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He knows when you are baked

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He knows if you've been cringe or dank

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

"Make it so", for goodness sake.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

So be cringe and publicly wank

Unrelated to the post and discussion at hand, I just want to point out that I enjoy finding a fellow regex scholar in the wild.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You’re the first person who’s recognized it. Guess what? We’re internet friends now.

My quantifier is so greedy for you right now

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And always either a voice of reason, funny as hell or giving good advice, among other fine maneuvers.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I guess you could flip this. If you're looking for new meme communities, just look at ThePicardManeuver's post history. ;)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure how he's everywhere, but I'm thankful.

Here he is, out in the wild looking for new content:

One of the true heroes of the fediverse. Songs will be written about them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I usually see the Picard maneuver, wonder what the meme I seen has to do with Star Trek then realize I am not at risa.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Lol, this happened to me on [email protected]
