John Deere™ Tractor Beam

No you can't repair it on your own - you have to bring it to a licensed repair shop.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When they're broken, it's easier to just fire them out as projectiles.

Eject the ~~Warp Core~~ Tractor Beam -Shaxs

[–] teft@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago

And there is only one repair shop per quadrant.

Nothing beams like a Deere

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's perfect!

I've wanted to see someone make this since the first time I heard "engage the tractor beam".

Of course, I was probably like 5. Then again, my humor hasn't progressed that much since then anyway.

I finally got your letter in the mail. It just took forever for the post office to discern your 5 y/o handwriting.

This could be a Mel Brooks plotline.

[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Would feel right at home in Spaceballs. Has similar energy to "jamming the radar".

[–] Starglasses@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago

It took me a good minute. Got a real good laugh!!

This is why I prefer physical buttons over touchscreens in my starships. Happens all the time.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And don't get me started on voice commands.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well, loud-voice-only password entry is probably the best invention on all of those series.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahahhahahaa this is so silly, I love it

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

This is beautiful ... this is what Risa is all about

[–] stardust@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Is beautiful! You scratched an itch I didn't even know I had.

"Too strong, Mr. Data, use the Kubota B5100 setting"

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone else have Ukrainian farmers come to mind?

Not that I’m suggesting mixing in a political war meme here, but that’s what popped up first for me.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, they can't all be winners, but I still enjoyed it.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I unfortunately can't change who I am.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Nothing unfortunate about it.

You. We like you.

Warp 9 to Planet Kubota, there are ripe right-to-repair maidens to be rescued!

Fun fact I heard from an employee a year or so ago.

When contractors for John Deere are hired to become full JD employees they call the process "getting a green card" on account of the new ID badge's color.

[–] Wizarded@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Technically correct

We've gone back in time to season 2!

data turns around
"captain, did I execute humour successfully?"

(I almost chose this pic for the last frame instead, but I loved Picard's dumbfounded face too much)
