You're not the only one wondering what happened to the definition of the word humor. I also see so many webcomics that I think only someone whose age is in the single digits would actually find funny get posted & receive all sorts of positive responses. I just don't understand - is it because there's so much less in-person social interaction than there used to be? I don't get it.

I know I'm getting old so it's increasingly difficult to find amusing stuff I haven't seen before, but a LOT of this shit is stuff I'm pretty sure even thoroughly clueless teenager me wouldn't have found funny. I've always felt my perspectives and preference for the truth no matter how ugly put me on the outside looking in at the rest of the human race, but the feeling of disassociation from the rest of humanity is reaching heights I didn't think were possible.

So, what more proof do you need that I'm not one of those fans who live for the show? There was only one show that ever got me close to that, and it wasn't anything we've mentioned here.

As the other person noted, I was combining references. I'm not the type to have an encyclopedic knowledge of quotes from shows I like, as I tend to be a more casual type of fan. The ST:TOS quote was just stuck in my head from childhood & I made up most of the rest (I think).

"Calculon, save us from the ugly walking bags of mostly water who keep pushing our buttons!"

You're only returning the respect they give.

I'm seeing no text in my Lemmy client (Thunder). I was able to see it by opening the post in a browser, so thanks for the response.

Attempting? Where TF have you been all year?

I agree virtually all humans can be bothersome to some degree, but equally?!? Not so much. Some are very much worse than others.

Don't forget all the cleaning chemicals at their disposal.
