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

You can be The_Picard_Maneuver@The_Picard_Maneuvers_Brain_in_a_Jar

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 14 points 11 months ago

You're a legend

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

We can give you our own account's passwords, just in case we miss to engage or something.

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He knows when you are baked

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

He knows if you've been cringe or dank

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

"Make it so", for goodness sake.

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

So be cringe and publicly wank

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 10 points 11 months 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 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] speederpotpie@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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