An episode of Star Trek after a long day.

My friends/sibling.

Researching my niche interests/finding out I share a niche interest with someone.

Taking a mental health walk.

Snacking unhealthy amounts of camembert, drinking black tea and Berber (green tea with spearmint) tea, snacking cucumber.

Eating good Falafel/Sushi/Asian/Middle-Eastern cuisine.

A good workout/feeling completely exhausted after doing martial arts.

Being able to help other people.

And because of your username: playing TotK.

I think it’s just that trans people will find it easier to transition from one dying platform to a beautiful new one. (I’m so sorry, but you basically set up the punchline for me, I’ll show myself out now.)

OP are you making these yourself? Or do you know where they come from? This really tickles my funny bone, I love them Claire’s memes.

Let me preface this with the fact that this is no way meant to hate of Star Trek:
I can’t remember if it was season 1 or 2 of SNW, but there were multiple episodes where Uhura spoke about different dialects of a language. And I think that’s technically what aliens would consider all languages that are spoken on earth as well; dialects of each other. So the in-universe explanation is that the Federation was founded by humans and therefore thinks of languages on earth as languages and every other planet only has different dialects, not languages. Linguistically it’s rather vague what constitues as a language and what is a dialect.
The ‘normal’ explanation is one of the imperialism of the English language and American exceptionalism (Aliens of one planet all speak one ‘weird’ other language, while we all speak very ‘normal’ English on our planet).

… which is almost the same number of times “Pump up the jam” is being sung in the 1989 one-hit wonder of the same name by Belgian duo “Technotronic”.

I joined the ‘original’ community shortly before the split happened and while it was sad to see I do like the memes and vibes here, merci très much everyone :)

You were the only one who asked a question that I could answer, it’s been too long since I last saw The Big Lebowski so I have no clue what the other comment is referencing tbh ^^’

Is everyone just commenting because of the instance I signed up on?! (Hi to the other Star Trek person, I see you ;)) I mean I welcome it, but I fear you’ll have to wait a few years before rail has warp drive, roughly until the 23rd century…
(Also disclaimer for everyone who reads this; I didn’t make this meme and I can’t remember where I downloaded it, I just thought this is perfect 196 material, but if the OP sees this and wants it removed I’ll do so of course)
