Gonna make a cleaner version of this in a couple minutes. Love meme but this thing fell into the air fryer accidentally.

I cannot express enough, how much I’ve learned about Star Trek thru memes and coffee

Great, we can qualify Risa as an educational community.

We're not leaking, we're teaching.

We're well on the path to becoming a religion, as is predicted by Futurama.

You're not leaking or teaching .... you're leaching

the loss or extraction of certain materials from a carrier into a liquid

... in the case of Risa ... it's the general loss and extraction of the grey matter of my brain via memes and turning my thoughts into an educational gooey liquid

I’m continually positively surprised how many memes here kick off more serious discussion and speculation about the shows. It’s one of the things that sucked me in.

I’m not convinced that I will ever quite have the right sense of humour to have my own original memes take off here, but you guys make me want to stretch beyond my comfort zone.

Education, meaningful debate & self development. Wow.

And we love having you around buddy <3

The respectful discussions on here are definitely one of the reasons I stick around.

I say just go for it. I sometimes make a dumb meme and post it thinking "This is probably only funny to me." and then I'm pleasantly surprised. Even when it doesn't land, it's still fun to make.

That's definitely been my approach. Much of the time an idea will crop up and I just slap something together. I've learned over time through trial and error. Even then, there are posts that don't "land" and that's ok.

Just let them fly. Do it.
I've even made some memes here. Nothing amazing, but some people liked them.
