I really hope me posting the memes the past couple days hasn't been a problem. I don't want to spam. I just have over a thousand images saved on my phone. Combine that with the fact that I've been having a rough couple weeks and just looking to make others laugh so I can make myself smile.

Hope you all have a great day either way. Peace and long life. 🖖

Star Trek memes aren't ever spam.

Your memes are fire, post all you want

Post as many memes as you want, they have really brightened my day. Your memes are actually funny and original, you should be proud.

Stamets: Put mushrooms in it. It made it work better, but Reno made fun of him anyway.

Billups: Took 30 years just to spend extra time away from his mother's royal consorts.

Jankom Pog: What, you think Trip acted alone?

I'm just getting into all of Star Trek due to depression &/from a shitty job. So these delight me . Thank you

It’s true that as time went by the Engineering folks had to accomplish greater and greater feats to keep the excitement going.

It reminds me of Big Hero 6, which I just watched with my kids. In that movie you meet some cool young people who all attend an engineering university. I thought “hey that’s great I hope my kids come away with a positive view of engineering as an education path.” Because no one ever modeled that for me.

BUT as soon as you’re inside the college, you see that all the kids are working on ridiculous fantasy gadgets far beyond the realm of science. Super suits and robots and flying bikes and shit. I thought great, now you’ve jacked up the kids expectations that on day 1 of engineering school they will walk in an build themselves an iron man suit.

It’s cool to depict engineers as heroes but I wish it were a little more grounded in reality or the reality is going to be damn disappointing.

choosing a marvel movie to use as a way to ground people is possibly not the best idea.

Also, once they're old enough to go to engineering school, if they still think they'll be able to build a one for one Ironman suit, then they've got bigger worries.

Trip could squeeze an extra warp speed out of an engine by wrapping the coils in baling wire then spitting on it

Trip may do a quick and dirty job and the rest of the museum might be on fire, but SOMETHING would be rising out of those flames and flying into action.
