It's from an episode of ST: The Next Generation where they're stuck in a time loop. When they realize they're stuck in a loop, they say "So we could have seen this [presentation explaining the time loop] a dozen times already?"

The joke is different variations of that and seeing them a dozen, a hundred times. I think it's just about played itself out, but you may still see a few coming through.

It's hilarious because every time it seems to die down, it seems to come back strong again ... but I think you're right, it's starting to wane but every time I think it's over, someone restarts it all again.

But if it goes any further ... they'll have to move all those posts to its own community at c/StarTrekTimeLoop

And it’s the source of this quote by Worf.

Posting about a time loop in c/Out of the loop

There's the bones of a joke here somewhere...

Fuck me that's a good response, didn't even realize I had set that up

A dozen, a hundred? it's impossible to tell.

I'll tell you a secret: 42.

There's a startrek enterprise episode where the crew gets stuck in a timeloop

Season 5, episode 18

I think that's the basis of the meme

It's a joke based on how we often see reposted memes, in general.
