Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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:
-
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.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I once had someone keep talking on a video call as they took a piss. It was not only audible but incredibly loud.
Just today, I recorded a video to provide training and just uploaded it.
What I didn't realize was that five minutes in, my microphone picked up my sweet child screaming about how she stepped in cat vomit and now theres cat vomit all over the house.
Yeah I'm not doing two takes and wtf microphone, why are you picking up sounds that far away?
I'm preparing to be mocked once people watch that video.
Meanwhile I've forgotten to turn off my music playing on speakers nearby my PC and apologized about my music once I realized only to get "what music?" in response. I'm not sure what sorcery went into this mic design, but it's great!
Edit: Also, use an audio editor to record that so you can splice different takes together. It allows you to get each part perfect rather than having to decide at some point that it's good enough because you have to record the whole thing in one take.
Power point has a slide record mode that lets you redo individual slides, too. It was essential when I had to get a presentation to fit into a 3 minute timeslot while I tend to ramble.
A friend of mine once attended a university lecture where the prof briefly ducked out to the loo... and neglected to turn off their wireless microphone, which was still connected to the classroom speakers.
goddamnit this appeared elsewhere as well but it reminds me of my favourite episode of masameer county.
"what about your cousin? he married a european woman but his genes are so strong all his kids look like monkeys. 'Grandpa! Grandpa! We love bananas! We don't know why!"
while it blares into the function hall the two recently reconciliated families are dining in.
I'm pretty sure this was in a comedy movie. I forgot which one I remember it from
I not only mute but say something that invites a reaction on the way to the bathroom to make sure that it is indeed muted.
Hadn't thought of doing this. Good advice.
We all rebel in our own ways
We usually just do audio in our meetings, but I always leave my headphones in my office if I have to go to the bathroom. I don't care if I'm muted or not.
I bring my headphones, audio on, and then put my mic close to my toilet so they can hear my opinion of their ideas.
Mr. Boring over here
You got to live a little. Give a presentation to execs while taking a shower
All the better if you can artfully have objects placed to hide your objects.
