I'm not sure why those are so funny. Maybe bc they are so "over the top" as to not register as being real? Like Frank Burns in MASH - if an irl person was that way it would horrifying, but as a "bit" it's funny?
Grew up watching TNG and Voyager but haven't really watched since. Subbed here thinking I'd get a funny every now and then. Half my feed is now Star Trek memes. No regrets.
I agree. BUT, if you allow "teraflop" as a noun, then adding an s makes it plural, and it can still be accurate to say 60 teraflops a second to mean simply (the original definition of) 60 teraflops.
FYI Lemmy comments use markdown syntax, this means you can place the alt text in the brackets like this . Most clients display that when the image doesn't load or the user clicks on the image.
Edit: I'm not trying to complain, I think it's really good to see more alt texts.
I've only ever watched The Original Series but I enjoy the memes regardless. Also I am not a boomer just had public access to a retro channel while in foster care which resulted in Star Trek, Svengoolie, and Naruto being a highlight.
Edit: Fucken TWO that's what you chose autocorrect?!
Possibly never, unless I end up in a situation where I really not some of that type of sci-fi. It's largely in that awkward area where it just makes me want to reread, watch, or play other stuff I like more. I keep rereading my Ciaphus Cain novels when I read Yojou Senki for example.

Oh I started last Jan (off risa) and have seen everything multiple times at this point. Went to a local fan meet-up earlier this month!

Be careful though, this can lead to bad, bad places...

Grenfur@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 1y

One of my friends thinks I'm obsessed with Star Trek because of the memes i send her.
She'll even send me one every once in a while!

Alt: clip from the Terminator movies of the military guy saying "Skynet's fully operational. Processing at 60 teraflops a second."

That's Lorian, son of T'Pol and Trip!
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y
I heard he was very lazy growing up.
They called him Sloth Lorian.
hopesdead@startrek.website · 6 pts · 1y
But is he really? He was from a future that was erased by the actions of the NX-01.

Repelle@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y
60 teraflops is still pretty fast. But I can only assume 60teraflops/s is an acceleration of operational speed which would be crazy impressive.

So when are TNG, DS9 and VOY on the agenda? Also you don't need to be a boomer to like TOS (else I might be older than I thought)

I think Lemmy would have more Star Trek content if Ten Forward hadn't killed startrek.website
