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

Naw but seriously you’re awesome I wish I could post half amount of stuff you did

Just tell me what I need to plug in.

I think you have single handedly brought about a meme renaissance

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago

You're a legend

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

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

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He knows when you are baked

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He knows if you've been cringe or dank

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

"Make it so", for goodness sake.

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

So be cringe and publicly wank

[–] neidu@feddit.nl 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 11 points 2 years 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

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] young_broccoli@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] speederpotpie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Lol, this happened to me on !achievers@lebowski.social
