Does it still work if you enter ‘Babylon5’?
Obviously Stark Trek is the real answer.
That’s kind of trolling both fanbases at the same time.
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.
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.
I see balls
Typical Lemmy experience
Needs more feet
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 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
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.
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.
Instructions unclear i got StarWrerk
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.

Huh. Doesn’t work.

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.
Schrödinger puzzle!
😅
A superposition crossword answer is what I was thinking. It’s a good analogy in that there are only two working choices across, but the 8 working choices down. I guess you could also use “star tres” for a 3rd solution too, that’s an extra nifty crossword hidden joke.
This appears to be from early 2022.

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.
I think they reused the gimmick because I definitely remember this from a few days ago
How come doctor who doesn’t fit?
Does Doctor Who have a franchise that it is compared to with a similar name?Ignore my ignorance. I misunderstood what you meant by that. It’s a shame that it’s one letter off.
What other similar, yet inferior sci-fi would you relate it to?
house
that episode where he was captured by Romulans and transported to Tatooine to diagnose the genetic defect in Jabba’s grandchild who was part Ferengi. It was fun watching Quark exaggerate a limp to try sell House’s stick back to him on the Falcon
Who?
Doctor vicodin
Aahhh, that Doctor, does he have a sonic walking cane?
It is an air guitar, so
Inspector Spacetime.
That is indeed very similar and very inferior
Found the Blorgon.
