    This one is so reposted in my Star Trek groups that they ban you if you post it. Just a heads up if you’re just now getting into Star Trek stuff…

    As a trekkie I feel kinda obligated to point out that that is not how transporters works in Star Trek

      Maybe a better version of this joke would be something like

      Dear lord, Please don’t rapture me yet, I’m taking a sh…

        But it’s that line up on in the drawing that also helps visualize the poo streak whilst getting beamed up that does it for me haha

          But you don’t get beamed “up” is my point.

          You just get teleported.

          If you’re raptured, then you get moved up towards the sky.

          The best jokes are always the ones that need explaining.

          Yes the vertical line is very funny. If only I could recreate that in text that would render correctly on everyone’s device.

    There was an interesting conversation about this meme on that other website once. Once transporters got biofilters (TNG era, iirc), you could presumably use them to defecate and deurinate the body during transport. Not only would it prevent unsightly messes in the transporter room in cases like this, but it would probably give you a little spring in your step after a tiring away mission.

      waiting for the episode where somebody suffers injuries because they’ve transported too much and there are biological complications because they didn’t have anything passing through them

    Taking a what? The suspense is killing me!

    • Taking a sheltie for a walk?
    • Taking a shelling from enemy artillery?
    • Taking a shale core sample for geological study?
    • Taking a ship across the sea to find India?
    • Taking a shrew for a pet?
    • Taking a shut-in for a wife?

    The possibilities are endless!
