  • I wouldn't even think twice if I heard the name Gul Sajak. That just sounds Cardassian.

  • It's a game where you have to figure out what a mystery phrase is by guessing letters individually. If you guess a letter that is part of the phrase, all instances of that letter are revealed. As the game progresses, the phrase is slowly revealed.

    So Picard guessed the letter "R", and they revealed two of them. Picard, assuming that the phrase is "THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS" mentions that they forgot to reveal one of the "R" letters. The person running the game is a Cardassian, and tells Picard that he is wrong, because the phrase is actually "THERE ARE FIVE LIGHTS".

  • That is the joke. The second panel is showing the board after Picard made his guess, not before.

  • To be fair, the format originally followed more closely to the actual source material, in which the second panel would read "Okay, name one X" and the third panel would mention the one most incredibly obvious answer. Which would still just be "Enterprise" in this case.

  • It was sarcastic and dismissive

    So, yes, you misinterpreted it. Maybe that is how it came off to you, but that was not my intent. Whoops! I tried to find a Lower Decks gif that best portrayed "disappointment" without also portraying anything like "disgust".

  • What is going on in that final Ro/Troi panel? Is that Riker saying "You?" from off-screen? Are all three characters speaking in unison?

  • Damn, it feels good to be a gangster

  • Rule of Acquisition #83736: Inclement weather is good for business.

  • flashback to four hours ago*

  • Are you referring to having to press the 2 key three times in order to type the letter c? Usually T9 refers to the type of predictive text where you can press just 43556 and the phone predicts that you are typing hello

  • As gen X/Y, we should exclusively be shitposting in T9

  • Profile pic checks out 😉

  • As great as it would be to have it chirp every time you open it, I think that would probably get annoying after a while.

  • I miss when games included some weird minigame that turned out to be more fun than the full game itself.

  • Brooklyn Nine-Nine also has a joke with the same energy as these!

  • I've used Lemmur in the past

    I know you didn't say anything about disliking mobile apps or that it had soured your experience, but definitely do not compare the mobile site to something as outdated as Lemmur lol

    It also has the extra benefit that it syncs my browsing history to desktop so you pick up where you left off.

    Not sure about other clients, but Thunder sure syncs your history with desktop just fine

    Then again, I refuse to get the Reddit app and still use old.reddit.com on mobile (it's just as annoying as you assume and you have to zoom in and out to click on stuff but I'm used to it by now, also I'm barely using Reddit anymore so that helps too)

    There is an extension that makes old Reddit mobile friendly

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/oldlander/

    Those on the other side, are there any killer features that apps give that I'm missing?

    The main thing that keeps me sticking to Thunder on mobile is gestures. I want to be able to swipe right from anywhere onscreen in order to go back a page. Trying to mimic that behaviour in a mobile browser is clunky.

    Another benefit of some mobile apps that the default Lemmy UI does not have is keyword filters. More info on that: https://feddit.org/post/3857608
