Reddit top reply to this meme: Circle jerk of quotes and phrases or intentionally wrong answers for those in on the joke.

Lemmy top reply: Here's what it is, and a source!

I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?

I have to brag on Lemmy.world.

This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there's still a down-vote brigade, but it's much smaller.

Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it's becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.

This place is so much better. Quality content has been coming up recently and the interaction with the user base has been positive.

Heck I started a package manager "fight" in a Linux thread the other day and it all remained positive. I'm glad I made the swap over to lemmy.

For real, the vibe here is way closer to what Reddit was a decade ago

Don't even know what the hell a Risa is.

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

A people of pleasure. A land of love. A home of hedonism.

Put simply?

The joint with Jamaharon

That's the pleasurr planet. People go vacation there and have crazy sex orgies with all kinds of aliens.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's a place I'd love to go.

Seems to be a minor character on a tv show from 1963

kevin w a gun

How DARE you say that Captain Kevin Thomas Riley is a MINOR character? The AUDACITY!

~~you're right lol~~

a tv show from 1963

You mean the tv show from 1963

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

it sounds like We Need to Talk About Kevin

[–] Varyk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm very curious about who Kevin is, there seems to be such a specific take on him that I haven't come across in pop culture like I have with Picard or shatner or anybody else.

I have also never watched a single episode of any Star Trek series

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I really wish I could help but there are multiple important instances of the name, including the bases for an entire timeline

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

That's the KeLvin timeline, though I'm sure he exists in all universes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm a Star Trek fan, but don't know who Kevin is. But are you mistaking Kevin for the Kelvin timeline? Are those actually the same thing? I'm going to have to do some research now.

[–] Varyk 2 points 1 year ago

Oh it's no problem, thank you, I like being confused by the benign Star Trek memes here

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I don't dislike Star Trek but I had to block that sub for this reason...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Kevin forgives you.

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

Give it a day or two, we just got out of our Rom/Morn/Gorn phase.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

sorry

Us Risans can get a bit much lol

Just wait a few days and it'll calm down

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

So you're not a very big fan I take it.

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

It's not the size that matters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have a clue who more than half the characters are in these memes, but I still enjoy them. I watched TNG in my childhood, but not religiously, and I've barely seen anything since (until Strange New Worlds).
