Image Transcription (Courtesy of @Transcriptionist@lemmy.world) :
A picture of the character Data from the Star Trek series.
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Looks right to me
Hey, cats can’t talk!
No, but the ship’s universal translator converts my meows into text so that I can post on Lemmy.
It was wildly difficult to set up, but the captain signed off on it after Geordi mumbled something about “federation” to him.
You were supposed to say “Meow” and then I was gonna post the picture of Homer saying “Damn straight”.
Meow
Bruh. Data can’t use contractions.
Why couldn’t the cat?
Why could not the cat?
::ponders the last season of Picard::
Data uses contractions constantly. Even in the very episode where Lore’s supposed ability to use contractions when Data cannot, Data does, in fact, use contractions.
But they can text. Check out BilliSpeaks.
You’re a pretty cat, and a good cat.
Thank you for noticing, friend.

That is indeed a very sexy and interesting piece of Data (wink wink, nudge nudge)
He’s fully functional.
Correct.
Wait… Isn’t this one a Lore?
I think this is when Data was taken over by Ira Graves.
What’s the Lore of this picture? And why is the Hugh of his skin…off?
This picture was taken B-4 he was in the show.

Way to Dahj the bullet!
Are we doing “whoooosh”, or leaving that behind?
ah leave em alone. or explain it. “haha you dont know the thing I know” never did much for anyone really…
I’m very ok with leaving that behind. It was pompous and unhelpful. But you can pry the puns from my cold dead hands!
Leave it behind. It fosters an environment that ridicules people trying to fill in information. I always found that subreddit toxic af.
If they only whooshed uppity bastards it would maybe have been ok but it’s more of a “huehue guys look he’s not getting this obscure in-joke, guys. upvote’s to the left”.
He’s an android from an old TV show. His name is Data and the skin tone is meant to given him an inhuman quality.
Lore is a reference to the show.
So we’re just stealing the top posts of all time from Reddit now?
Way to assume we’ve seen this.
I made this because I’m a trekker and saw the community pop up in all. But just out of curiosity I went and looked at the top 100 of all time for reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful and my favorite android is not in it so not sure what you mean.
Sort by top of all time. It should still be there
You’re right. I wonder if it was from one of the old Redditors who quit and deleted their posts. I scrolled through top of all time for a bit and couldn’t find it. gross I can’t believe I went back to that place
I can’t believe you accused me of stealing without even having the decency to railroad me at a trial like Bruce Maddox does.
I’ll just pretend I got that reference

IIRC it was an April Fool’s joke, where for one day everyone posted pictures of Data.
Data: check
Beautiful: check
I’m no expert, but this looks pretty cut and dried.
The only acceptable use of “data is.”
It’s a mass noun nowadays mein freund

Can confirm this is some gorgeous Data.
Data is one of my favorite uses of androids as a metaphor for neurotypicality. Up there with the T2 T-800.
Comrade Data on the War in Ukraine, “This is just a thing… and things can be replaced. Lives cannot.”
