MODERATORS
Dad’s friends on Facebook are gonna love it.
He's wise enough to avoid all social media. His friends are baggers at the grocery store and his children.
I shouldn't be laughing this hard when I don't even have kids.
Updoot for making my husband roll his eyes and say "oh god"
Cheetah, what seems like an apex predator but is actually close to extinction.
Crab, the magnum opus of evolution.
The result will only be cheetah like for a few generations until it reaches perfection once more
A spotted crab that goes backward real fast yay
Can't see the image, mind if someone gives it a re-host?
OK that's a good one!
That joke is so old, but mentally hearing it with Data's elocution made it brand new again for a moment.
I can't find an earlier source than Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca a couple of months ago. There's just been a lot of reposters lately on here claiming their niche.
If you search for the text of the joke, you should find it from like, I don't know, the 80s, the 90s, something like that. I mean, the joke's gotta be 30 or 40 years old at the very least.
The new spin on it was having Data tell the joke, in my opinion.
What's with the watermark?
I didn't make this. Whoever this "Riker's Beard" person is, they must be pretty active because I see their watermarked memes all over.
