Nope, this is a real photo, the Space Shuttle was transported on the back of a modified 747

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Woosh.

To be fair, it is hard to know if people are joking or not through text

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

To be faaaaiiirrr.

No it isn't. Basic reading comprehension and context is all you need.

[–] stoy -4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Exactly, and I fon't see the context of

this one's outta this world

And the image related.

So please, instead of just downvoting and making fun of me, downvote me while explaining the context.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The second plane looking thing is actually the retired space shuttle.

[–] stoy -4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Ok? How does that explain anything regarding the context of the quote I mentioned?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Space shuttles go to space. They go out of this world.

[–] stoy 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok, I'll admit that I have been a bit slow today, and while I still disagree that our world is limited to a single planet, I do see the logic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

You're right that the word "world" is often used to represent different scales in different contexts. Some scales may be larger than our planet, and some may be smaller. The context is very important to interpret the meaning. "The world of I sects" might be a science documentary about small scale nature and the life spans of bugs. World building is a phrase often applies to fantasy/sci-fi/fiction novels or collaborative games where there is an effort to build a rich description of reality that arises from a set of initial assumptions/conditions that differ from our own reality. The scope of that may be much larger or much smaller than a single planet. The word really does have a lot of uses, and the context is really necessary to understand the meaning.

In the case of this image, for me at least, "out of this world" evokes a cliche elementary valentines or A+ style sticker on a school assignment that has a picture of a rocket ship with the phrase, "you're outta this world". If you received such a sticker in elementary school, you knew you did a good job. In that reading, the OP is cleverly telling the original meme creator that they have done a good job with the meme.

You're in a shitpost community, first of all.

Second, read some books.

[–] stoy 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You're in a shitpost community

Finally, an actual reason for this, I can accept that.

Read some books

I have read plenty of books, none of which mention the quote.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

You obviously need to read more books so you can learn how to understand how words go together in different ways to convay our thoughts and emotions.

Thousands of years of written language didn't just stop having meaning because you are unable to grasp jokes.

Edit: Drink some coffee and wake up dammit!

[–] stoy -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Work on your reading comprehension, kiddo.
You'll get it someday.

No, this is when Taylor Swift has to fly commercial, the other passengers are forced to fly in the shuttle.

Or that’s for when Taylor Swift brings an extra piece of luggage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Actually the shuttle for the ‘swift’ part of ‘Taylor swift’. The ‘Taylor’ part goes in the plane. It’s very complicated and requires a lot of people to put it back together again, kind of like Humpty dumpty, but with more different sizes of Allen wrench.

Glad to see the final frontier of memes is swiftly being approached

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

OMG when will this madness end?

(Hopefully not today - keep 'em comin'! :-P)

Edit: we all need...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Which one is Taylor and which one is Travis?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I hope that NASA guy used prevention.
