Reddit top reply to this meme: Circle jerk of quotes and phrases or intentionally wrong answers for those in on the joke.

Lemmy top reply: Here's what it is, and a source!

I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?

I have to brag on Lemmy.world.

This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there's still a down-vote brigade, but it's much smaller.

Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it's becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.

This place is so much better. Quality content has been coming up recently and the interaction with the user base has been positive.

Heck I started a package manager "fight" in a Linux thread the other day and it all remained positive. I'm glad I made the swap over to lemmy.

For real, the vibe here is way closer to what Reddit was a decade ago

Don't even know what the hell a Risa is.

That's the pleasurr planet. People go vacation there and have crazy sex orgies with all kinds of aliens.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

A people of pleasure. A land of love. A home of hedonism.

Put simply?

The joint with Jamaharon

It's a place I'd love to go.

a tv show from 1963

You mean the tv show from 1963

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

it sounds like We Need to Talk About Kevin

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I'm very curious about who Kevin is, there seems to be such a specific take on him that I haven't come across in pop culture like I have with Picard or shatner or anybody else.

I have also never watched a single episode of any Star Trek series

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I don't dislike Star Trek but I had to block that sub for this reason...

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Kevin forgives you.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Give it a day or two, we just got out of our Rom/Morn/Gorn phase.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

sorry

Us Risans can get a bit much lol

Just wait a few days and it'll calm down

[–] BROMETHIUS@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you're not a very big fan I take it.

[–] Flabbergassed@artemis.camp 1 points 1 year ago

It's not the size that matters.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have a clue who more than half the characters are in these memes, but I still enjoy them. I watched TNG in my childhood, but not religiously, and I've barely seen anything since (until Strange New Worlds).
