Hey, cats can't talk!

No, but the ship's universal translator converts my meows into text so that I can post on Lemmy.

It was wildly difficult to set up, but the captain signed off on it after Geordi mumbled something about "federation" to him.

You were supposed to say "Meow" and then I was gonna post the picture of Homer saying "Damn straight".

Bruh. Data can't use contractions.

Data uses contractions constantly. Even in the very episode where Lore's supposed ability to use contractions when Data cannot, Data does, in fact, use contractions.
