John Deere™ Tractor Beam

No you can't repair it on your own - you have to bring it to a licensed repair shop.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When they're broken, it's easier to just fire them out as projectiles.

Eject the ~~Warp Core~~ Tractor Beam -Shaxs

[–] teft@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago

And there is only one repair shop per quadrant.

Nothing beams like a Deere

data turns around
"captain, did I execute humour successfully?"

(I almost chose this pic for the last frame instead, but I loved Picard's dumbfounded face too much)

Captain's Log. Stardate 23170.6
I have growing concerns about commander data's new emotion chip, as he is struggling to understand the nuances and subjectivity of humour.

Yesterday morning, he placed a dangerously high concentration of laxatives in commander LaForge's beverage and later, followed him into the latrine, just to deliver a punchline about Geordi not knowing whether to shit or go blind.

Doctor Crushers medical report stated that Geordi spent six hours on the toilet and was so dehydrated after, that he required an IV drip and an overnight stay in sickbay, where he continued to have explosive and uncontrollable diarrhea throughout the night.

Because data is the only crew member who could enter sickbay without violently vomiting, I ordered him to spend the day cleaning and sanitising the mess Geordi left behind.

In more ways than one, I guess you could say that he is in deep shit. Now that is funny.

Anyway. Commander LaForge is feeling marginally better today, but is still quite angry and had to be restrained by security after attempting to dispatch data from the ships airlock. I have put them on opposite shifts to avoid further contact.

I think Data just sitting there like everything is normal is perfect for the ending.

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

He looks more like he is trying to puzzle out a confusing problem in his head.

[–] The_Riker_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My stance is better in this one. More dynamic.

Indeed, number one.

The closer your pelvis is to someone's face, the more leadership they get. That's what they taught at the Academy and that's good enough for my pelvis.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe you mean "successfully, you lunkhead "

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's perfect!

I've wanted to see someone make this since the first time I heard "engage the tractor beam".

Of course, I was probably like 5. Then again, my humor hasn't progressed that much since then anyway.

I finally got your letter in the mail. It just took forever for the post office to discern your 5 y/o handwriting.

[–] teft@startrek.website 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This could be a Mel Brooks plotline.

[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Would feel right at home in Spaceballs. Has similar energy to "jamming the radar".

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ahahhahahaa this is so silly, I love it

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

This is beautiful ... this is what Risa is all about

[–] Blackout@startrek.website 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is why I prefer physical buttons over touchscreens in my starships. Happens all the time.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And don't get me started on voice commands.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Well, loud-voice-only password entry is probably the best invention on all of those series.

[–] Starglasses@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

It took me a good minute. Got a real good laugh!!

[–] stardust@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Is beautiful! You scratched an itch I didn't even know I had.

"Too strong, Mr. Data, use the Kubota B5100 setting"

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Fun fact I heard from an employee a year or so ago.

When contractors for John Deere are hired to become full JD employees they call the process "getting a green card" on account of the new ID badge's color.

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anyone else have Ukrainian farmers come to mind?

Not that I’m suggesting mixing in a political war meme here, but that’s what popped up first for me.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, they can't all be winners, but I still enjoyed it.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I unfortunately can't change who I am.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Nothing unfortunate about it.

You. We like you.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Warp 9 to Planet Kubota, there are ripe right-to-repair maidens to be rescued!

[–] Wizarded@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Technically correct

[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I said "argh" out loud, which means this is is perfect

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I wholeheartedly support this goal

[–] lemillionsocks@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes an idea can be so dumb, it comes back around again as GENIUS. Congratulations.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

We've gone back in time to season 2!
