Does it still work if you enter ‘Babylon5’?
I feel like in 2074 we’re still going to be circulating this exact image
With more artefacting of course.
nah it’ll be AI upscaled and the grid won’t even line up
That’s kind of trolling both fanbases at the same time.
Evil that “It’s a trap” only works with Star Trek.
They had to show their bias somehow ;)
But “It’s a wrap!” is a perfectly valid answer for filming either.
Yes, but “it’s a trap!” is a star wars reference
But you have to know the details of both franchises to pick the best, so it’s a fair clue.
I doubt I would have ever figured “leased” as something being “let out, in a way”.
I think you meant Star Wars, since that is where the meme comes from.
No they mean the answer to the clue is “it’s a trap” only if you answer “star trek” to the which sci fi is better value.
If you write “Star Wars,” then the correct answer is “It’s a wrap,” even though the Star Wars fan will likely think of “It’s a trap” first. If you write “Star Trek,” then the correct answer is “It’s a trap!” which does not come from Star Trek.

Obviously Stark Trek is the real answer.
The real, most trolling cruelty here is that if you say “Star Wars” you can’t have “It’s a trap!”
And Star Trek fans will have to endure a Star Wars meme staining their choice.
I think the bigger cruelty is that you aren’t going to get the across right away regardless without STAR filled in. But if you immediately get “It’s a trap!” then you are going to later get trolled with Star Trek being better.
How do crossword writers make those perfect square crosswords with every letter in two words, after you fill in enough words how do you not get to a point where there are no words that fit
I imagine they just play 1-person scrabble with infinite pieces. Then they put the descriptions afterwards.
Huh. Doesn’t work.
“It’s a crap!”

You missed BABYLONV.
Oh snap it does fit
Just need to tighten my woistband a bit
Maybe that one is from Spaceballs, which is just the woist. :)
“It was the best of times, it was the WOIST OF TIMES‽”
It’s a larp!
Funny,
Lexxonly has four letters…Leaeed indeed
It has either three letters too many or one letter too few, depending on whether or not you abbreviate.
I see “wrap, waist, payers, leased”
It’s a trap!!!
I see balls, but that’s because I’m looking at a specific subset of transgender porn.
Um wut
Dawg, do you even know what a fuck is in the wild? It ain’t none of that Butthole Surfer shit, I tell ya that!
Oh, it’s you. I forgot to check the username…
It’s always me. I am the only other person on this “website.” It’s really a case study. My name is Dr. Foöfenator. Do you like dechunked coffee?
Get help, dude. Seriously.
Dude thinks he has to a be an I all the time. See how far that gets him. Boxed in bullshitter of the tinkle-toed queef-catcher. I got balls the likes of which you can’t even conceive even if you were anatomically complete. Dogs don’t go home at night if you give em the forth rain. Pickle it back to me, unless you greased in the pig flume, aight?

I’d always classed Star Wars as science fantasy.
Hate to break it to you…but so is Star Trek. Instead of the Force, it’s psionics (Vulcans), telepathy (Betazeds), and “things that science can’t explain yet” (Q, all of the god-tier aliens that Kirk had to deal with). A lot of times, there is no explanation for why an alien can do magic other than they’re an alien.
Space opera.
So was Star Trek. There was not really any science in there.
I make the argument that Star Wars is not science fiction, rather a fantasy that takes place in space. Science and technology do not drive the stories, nor are they the solutions to the problems that arise. They are incidental and could just as well be replaced with actual magic. They tried to go the other way by explaining the force with midiclorians… Which was accepted by basically no one.
If this is old enough, that distinction didn’t exist… at least not in popular discourse. Lasers and shit was SciFi, even if it had magic or whatever.
This is why libraries put the sci fi and fantasy sections together, so they can avoid being drawn into these kinds of debates.
Bro, you got some weird brain worms. Not considering Star Wars as science fiction based on some technical hubbub is like calling Trump a communist because he the reginality of caucus results in his disposition to yearn for the masses. That ain’t real life. This is science, bitch. Get with the God damn. It is as it are and be so it will do, so it shall.
And as it is such, so also as such is it unto you.
Don’t fuck me in my ear and tell me I got bussy problems. There’s a slip n slide mini game if you use the dorge correctly. Do it if you do not under want what you have.
This appears to be from early 2022.

I think they reused the gimmick because I definitely remember this from a few days ago
Thanks, I was wondering this. I checked 70 across in the last four Sundays and it wasn’t there.
It’s interesting that when tweets are shared, they almost never include the date. I wonder if that’s basically natural selection? I.e., if the date is on there, people are less inclined to share it once it’s outdated, so the ones that survive as memes are the ones that let people assume the tweet is still current?
MOST social media don’t have an actual date on it for a long time. Heck, look at these posts here. Most of them say “2 hours ago” or whatever relative time. Right now the OP says “1 day ago” for me. Which could be anywhere from 24-48 hours ago, or even a wider range depending on how they round those numbers.
If someone screenshots your post, then it gets reposted in 10 years, we’ll have no context for when it happened.
When I watch an old YouTube video, it might say “6 years ago” which could be a video created before COVID quarantine, to well within the window. The UI makes it very difficult to see the actual date/time that things were posted.
Fair point.
Instructions unclear i got StarWrerk
Yesterday in which year? This is ancient.
No idea. It was my first time seeing it, so I just thought it was neat and wanted to share.
Me too, I appreciated it.
It’s from the February 6, 2022 New York Times crossword puzzle.
A long time ago. In a crossword far away.
What if you live in NY?
Seems they spelled “Stargate” incorrectly. 😞
You misspelled “Battlestar Galactica”
Just as long as we are talking about the OG BSG of course. 😋
You both goofed when typing Duck Dodgers (in the 24½th Century)
