I cackled at it when I made it, glad to see someone else enjoying it too

"You got to understand this, Kim: It's not because you are incompetent, but because you are annoying, your 'problems' go on everybody's nerves and no one likes you. You do understand that, don't you?"

"Yes, Captain. Sorry for asking."

"No worries, Kim. Now off with you on this ~~suicide mission on a hell-like planet~~ mission to find vital supplies."

"Ok." blows up Voyager with Paris and gets back to Earth, where he gets promoted

Anyone else notice this weird phenomenon on Lemmy? I never recall seeing on Reddit, it does not seem relegated to any specific instance or anything, but for some reason nobody here uses that meme format correctly.

It's so frequent that I almost feel like using it wrong has become a lemmy meme unto itself and I'm just out of the loop.

? What do you mean not used correctly?

I belive the text on the bottom two panels should stay the same

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh you're right, I forgot about that haha. Well it still works as a meme

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I completely agree! I still think it's "dank" enough, haha

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The last two panels are supposed to be the same text.

Still outranks Seven and Neelix.

but they both "joined" Starfleet in the Delta Quadrant

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seven only joined the starfleet in Star Trek Picard

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah that's why I said "joined" since she was a crewmember on Voyager but not technically in Starfleet

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I think I remember why. It’s because no one is below him to step into ensign. So he doesn’t get promoted till he gets back and then made captain.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah yeah, we've all heard that bullshit from employers before. "Sorry you got passed over for a raise and a promotion this year, but you're just too valuable at your current position"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, the Producers said as much. Something like ‘someone has to be an ensign’.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Make people take turns being the ensign

Ensign Janeway and Captain Kim

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If Kim is ever promoted the entire universe will cease to exsist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's Captain Harry Kim in STO

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

LIES! DECEPTION!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know they said that in production, and I personally find it funny, but in universe it doesn't make sense. Harry was the head of Voyager's Ops department. Being an upper-decker/bridge crew matters way more in practice than rank on paper. It's not like his department would explode oor even substantively change if he made Lt. JG.

Hell, Tuvok got promoted to Lieutenant commander in the middle of Voyager's flight and nothing weird happened in his department. And the less said about Tom Paris' rank situation the better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Promote Kim. Make Paris the ensign, not like he runs a department. He just steers the ship 1/3 of the time.
