Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I once got my blue and purple lightsabers mixed up and accidentally struck them all down not just the men but the woman and children and motherfuckers too.

Using a peeling knife for vegetables is criminal.

Most of these knives are silly, A chef's knife will do 99% of all cutting, chopping and slicing tasks in a kitchen. I would go as far as to say that knife sets are a scam.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You don't do much in a kitchen, do you? Make bread slices with a bread knife is much easier than with a chef's knife. Putting butter on a bread is much easier with a butter knife. Also you can't accidentally cut yourself with it.

But keep cutting your cheese with a chef's knife. Everybody chooses their own torture.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not to mention some higher quality knives can break cutting some harder cheeses. Would not want that to happen.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I don't do much in a kitchen, if I did I'd have a chef's knife. I'm a weirdo though, so what I do and what I know are best practices frequently don't line up.

To counter your examples though:

Bread? pre-sliced.

Cheese? pre-shredded.

Butter? melt and pour it baby.

So far I didn't need a knife at all.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Bread? pre-sliced.

Cheese? pre-shredded.

Why? They'll lose their flavor! Only cut a slice right before you eat it.

Butter? melt and pour it baby.

For what?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

for the bread and cheese, I'm not a foodie. I'll get medium ish quality stuff at the grocery store, and it exceeds my expectations.

for the butter, come on, its butter. butter is love, butter is life.

Let me know how your biscuits turn out.

my biscuits are amazing and I will hear no objection

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, on second thought you should stay away from kitchens.

Blue saber is just the saber of equality 😌

Vader being woke as shit. Expect an executive order to ban Star Wars.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

Where's the poop knife?

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I dare you, I double dare you, say "the Senate" one more time!

If Jango was a motherfucker then he wouldn't have needed to clone himself.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sammy J not being allowed to say motherfucker in star wars must have been painful for him. I know it was painful for me.

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like how he almost got one in the MCU

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Pizzas are cut with scissors... There no comparison, even the shitty pizza slicer will make a mess.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Second row, middle: fart knife

I've never heard of a "fart knife". Is it a variant of a poop knife?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's a play on the euphemism for farting "cut the cheese"

Thanks for reminding me of the poop knife, btw 😄

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

the euphemism for farting "cut the cheese"

Oh, thanks for explaining :) Probably should have been able to figure that one out.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

No worries 🙂

I’ve had a scene for a horror novel bumping about in my head for a while:

Guy breaks into a house late at night, wearing a mask but unarmed, goes to the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife with which to subdue the elderly couple living there (he knows because he’s cased the place).

He’s surprised by the elderly woman who’s suffering from insomnia, but he’s closer to the knife block, so he has the upper hand, and he grabs the closest knife on the block.

Woman: After a brief moment of initial shock, she lifts her kettle from the burner. ‘Are you planning to kill me with a paring knife?‘.

The startled home invader looks at his knife, sets it down, and grabs a larger knife.

Woman: ‘That’s a bread knife.’ She pours her tea. ‘Would you like to try again? Look for one that’s not serrated.’

Guy drops the bread knife, tentatively lifting knives from the block.

Woman: ‘Vegetable knife, poor choice. Keep going. Fish knife, okay, but not the best. How would you like to kill me? Are we talking stabbing or chopping? It makes a difference.’

The scene goes on from there.

"Is that Bantha ham processed? If it's processed I don't want it."

"Ma'am, that is an eleven pound whole slab of Bantha ham. It has no bones, fat, or connective tissue. It is an amalgamation of the meat of several fearful banthas, emulsified in bacta, liquefied in rage, Kessel runned, strained, Droid lasered and ultimately inexorably joined with a Beskar press in an unholy meat obelisk full of suffering.

The force had no hand in the creation of this abhorrence. The fact that this ham monolith exists proves that the Jedi are either impotent to alter the universe as the force wills it, or ignorant to the horrors taking place through the Galaxy.

This prism of Bantha is more than deli meat. It is a physical declaration of sentients all around contempt for the natural order and their craving for the dark side. It is hubris manifest."

"We also have a low midi-chlorian variety if you would prefer that."
