Vindication (lemmy.world)

Screenshot of Lemmy via Voyager of a meme and one of the comments replying to it.

The meme is a picture of an invertebrate and reads:
“This is Suzy. Suzy is a basal amniote.

She enjoys sitting in the sun, catching bugs, and laying eggs with extraembryonic membranes.

312 million years ago Suzy had two kids. One evolved into you and the other into a T-Rex. If Suzy isn’t metal as fuck I don’t know who is.”

The reply to this meme reads:
“Yeah, it seemed weird that Janeway and Tom Paris turned into this, but I get it now.”

I kind of both love and hate that I was 10h late. I'm very glad that this is here, but sad that I didn't post it.

You can’t beat /u/ummthatguy.

I suspect they’re a Q or otherwise omniscient species like the Zalkonian.

So we evolved from salamanders and we'll evolve back into salamanders?

I thought we were going to evolve into crabs.

Even H.G. Wells thought so.

Crabs being a common endpoint doesn't mean it's the optimal lifeform. It could be a local minimum that many organisms get stuck in.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I mean I don't think salamanders are the optimal life form either. Star Trek does.

Star Trek also thinks a worm is an apex predator:

Planet Killer from Star Trek.

I could be wrong but wasn’t that a manufactured device? I’m a big Star Trek fan but mostly films and TNG+ onward, I admittedly have not watched or am familiar with TOS in its entirety.

Memory Alpha says it was originally envisioned as a weapon. You are right. I always heard it referred to as a “monster” so I always thought it was alive.

I like to imagine janeways t-rex descendants. Rampaging across the landscape with perfectly coiffed buns

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
