Alright, can we stop with the rhyming now, please?
Star Wars Memes
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

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

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.
Do the way that they rhyme make you feel ill at ease?
No more rhymes, now, I mean it! - Vizzini
Squating really helps actually. Your knees hurt because the supporting muscles around the knee get too weak over time due to lack of use. You can begin with bodyweight squats but weighted squats are even better
My 1 RM training max is currently 160 kg, how much higher before my knees don't hurt when I jump?
Of course you might also have osteoarthritis from being overweight and age or might be any number of other reasons.
Overuse and traumatic injuries mostly. I've also sold my body to survive, so while age shouldn't be a factor yet, I'm probably ahead of average on duty cycles.
I do find it interesting your bias jumps (haha) to under-training and over-weightness first. Are they common problems in your circles?
They are statistically the largest reason for knee problems. I wouldn't call that bias.
Fair enough. I guess I'm the one with the bias since it's rare around my circles! Or maybe I should say other causes are overly common in my circles?
I knew excess weight and age were linked to osteoporosis, but not necessarily knee pain in general (like tendinopathy, or MCL/ACL strains).
I must be underestimating osteo cases. Or perhaps my population/region has fewer osteo cases than yours.
Not osteoporosis. Osterarthritis. Besides, being overweight (think bmi) regardless of if it is fat or muscle is bad for your knees and heart.
I thought BMI was generally replaced with BMI + WC? BMI is certainly a useful population tool and quick heuristic, but lacks depth. But I've been out of this topic for a while.
I'm very confident my knee pain comes from load carrying. If I add the average load carried to my bodyweight, I had a BMI of >40 for over a decade, definitely falls on line with your theory!
I would guess external load doesn't have the same heart effect as body mass, but again, out of my depth.
If you master the art of mind control... you don't need to jump. You can get some poor soul to do that for you.
i can't even jump up without hurting my knees, let alone jumping from a walkway down to another walkway.
It's about form!!!! Knees over toes!!!! Do your hamstring stretches mfers!!!!
