This reminds me of that one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

I had recently read a book that had

Shit, imma need that title…

I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…

Well, shit.

If you remember, let us know! I’m a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.

Matter=energy=matter.

If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.

First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you’ve got some portable replicating that will work without an obvious power source.

And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that’s just laying around all over the universe.

Jaysus, Keiko, it’s like you don’t even listen to me when we’re having dinner…

back to the pattern buffer for you I guess…

First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there’s no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.

Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.

Honestly any version of replicators…

My last employee orientation really didn’t like me saying to the group of 10 or so “anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren’t allowed to discuss wages”

And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying “guys we aren’t supposed to talk about wages” when the topic came up one day and “I’m gonna get a manager” when the discussion continued.

Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he’s ready to end it all.

I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I’m expected to show up for work the next day…

man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID

Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

this instance was just particularly memorable.

A nurse once told me to “mind my own fucking business” when I said “are you fucking kidding me?” to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

10/10

Become ungovernable.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t know of any 1st grade classes teaching financial literacy, nor high school classes focusing on how to play a recorder.

I did have a few weeks that focus on domestic finances in 8th grade. That almost nobody paid attention to. So there’s at least one school that did both 20 years ago…

I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.

No ragerts.

No chief engineer has ever asked why my favorite transporter rooms require so much extra power.

Well… Not more than once, anyway…

Well, even Kim has a plate. All the bridge crew from VOY have one!

Kim: I literally saved the ship and everyone inside on multiple occasions, literally rewrote history, and I’m still an Ensign.

Paris:I haven’t gotten anyone seriously maimed or disobeyed huge important orders in awhile, so they promoted me.

You should see the things Riker gets up to in Quark’s holosuites.

I don’t think the universal translator will even allow me to tell you.

Nope, not me.

I’d like to think I’m funny though…

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn’t posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?

That would be chef’s kiss.

Bonus points if he then tosses them into the sun on live TV.

Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because “they used to live there 2,000 years ago”

Apparently I’m an “asshole”, “woke” and “antisemitic” for bringing up native Americans…
