Look up Tesla coil music to see the truthfulness of this post.

Most of this isn't "head cannon" it is just cannon.

Laughed so hard I went blind at toasting bread after you eat it.

Haha yeah, remember the one time when this was a TV show and never actually happened?

I always assumed their tech would break so easily is because they live in a communist society, and most USSR tech was borked bullshit so..

This is also why we will triumph over the AI overlords! Or at least be kept as pets...

I realize commenting on most viral is useless, but what they are describing was one of the most venerated American WWII "qualities" 1/2
shuttthefuckup
And a reason Americans, especially paratroopers, were effective against highly structured/regimented nazi techniques

This must be in my favorites 6 times at this point.

If Star Trek was even a third as funny as these posts I might be able to watch it.
Jimmygarn
And that's why we watch SG-1
nirach
I prefer watching something else.. I'm not sure any TV show I watch really qualifies as the same genre as Trek, or Stargate.

Thing is, it would be true for any technologically advanced species. You don't become technologically advanced by being careful and rational
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
Careful & rational goes like "poke a 6-ton mammoth with sticks hoping it'll die? Are you insane? How is this easier than gathering berries?"
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
IOW, if we were a level-headed & reasonable species, we'd still be living in grass huts in the African savanna. It's childlike, giggling...
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
crazy-eyed joy in destruction and explosions and things that spark or burst into flames that drives all human progress. Mental neoteny.
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
I'm not even making this up. Many scientists have remarked that they're basically adult children, and there is a hypothesis according to...
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
which our tech evolution was driven by an increasingly prolonged childhood. Other animals experiment only during childhood. Once they've...

I do remember a DS9 episode where a few Ferengi sent themselves back to 1950's Roswell, NM.
jagsquared
Wasn't that because they didn't account for humans nuking their own planet in the 20th century?
ladybird2223
I actually just watched that a few days ago! I'm currently re-watching DS9 on netflix.
RaeTaelor
Yeah that was Quark, Rom and Nog. It was some incident involving a flux or something with the warp field
aleister94
yeah but that's because rom pulled a space magic maneuver out of his butt and rom is the most human ferengi of all ferengi
MurphysParadox
An excellent point!
LittleLordThudleroy
These people are REALLY overthinking Star Trek but it's still amusing.
wackywoohoopizzaman
And I fucking love it
motherhoodlum
that's what trekkies do tho.
panamjck
but that's what Star Trek was made for
profcommie
My favorite overthinking is the fact that there was this huge WW3 that decimated the population. That is what stands between us and StarTrek
profcommie
Like if we want to get to their weird utopia, we just have to have a war or two that kills 90% of us.
Armored0Titan0
Hey, either I die or I get to live in space future and possibly have sex with green ladies. It's a win-win.

HOLY SHIT I LOOKED IT UP AND IT MADE MY DAY. Sail by Awolnation is the first result. Fucking awesome. This is why I love the human race.
Smilinnoir
You lost me at "I love the human race".
discotheque42
Your loss, mate
DannMoreno
yes this 1000 times...
ForThoseWondering
You had me up until "Sail by Awolnation."
discotheque42
*Sigh* You're missing the point. Music via Tesla coil. Go listen to "House of the Rising Sun" or "Ghostbusters" if you must.

Superfuntime
This retarded trend of using "literally" as a fuckwits underscore needs to fucking stop.
Clockworkliar
But, and understand- I'm on your side here, it won't. Never ever. Your only hope is to use their slang wrong. Do it loudly, do it jovially.
Superfuntime
I'll stick with ridicule and swearing. The dumb mindless trend following little shits can only downvote and my message will still be clear.
ComicallyLongUsername
There is only one instance of someone using the word 'literally' in the way you've described in this post, and it's not even technically 1/2
ComicallyLongUsername
grammatically incorrect in that instance. 2/2
Superfuntime
It's basically a linguistic micro idiolution.
Superfuntime
It's rarely grammatically incorrect. I never said it was. It's just overused pointlessly. As in "i literally just typed a sentence."
Superfuntime
It's used to underscore statements. somehow it's become a trend. Like ending a sentence with "lol" or saying "like" as every third word.
