Stop predicting the future!!!
that reference is showing your age 😂
I know about the famous coffee incident and I'm<30
I know I'm ducking under the joke here but I'm pretty sure that case is famous enough that lots of younger people would still get it
It stays around because someone will say it’s ridiculous that she sued, and then someone will um acktualy it gave her third degree burns, and then someone um acktualy’s that the coffee is still that hot, and yada yada
Had that conversation recently irl. I was the acktually guy.
And you for knowing the reference lol?
And me...
Much of Lemmy saw Trek TOS when it aired
Really? TNG I'm sure, but to remember TOS airing, you'd need to be at least sixty.
I’m old and it was off the air a year and a half before I was born. Now I watched it in syndication on TV for sure if that’s what you mean.
Typically "aired" refers to the first air date. I, too, watched loads of it as reruns.
I saw Trek TOS and my brain went to the bicycle company having terms of service and was like wtf? But your comment cleared that up somehow.
