        No, but the ship’s universal translator converts my meows into text so that I can post on Lemmy.

        It was wildly difficult to set up, but the captain signed off on it after Geordi mumbled something about “federation” to him.

          Data uses contractions constantly. Even in the very episode where Lore’s supposed ability to use contractions when Data cannot, Data does, in fact, use contractions.

          Leave it behind. It fosters an environment that ridicules people trying to fill in information. I always found that subreddit toxic af.

          If they only whooshed uppity bastards it would maybe have been ok but it’s more of a “huehue guys look he’s not getting this obscure in-joke, guys. upvote’s to the left”.

      I made this because I’m a trekker and saw the community pop up in all. But just out of curiosity I went and looked at the top 100 of all time for reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful and my favorite android is not in it so not sure what you mean.

            You’re right. I wonder if it was from one of the old Redditors who quit and deleted their posts. I scrolled through top of all time for a bit and couldn’t find it. gross I can’t believe I went back to that place
