32 Star Trek Memes That Boldly Go Where No Meme Has Gone Before

I find it a little baffling that there aren't more shows like " Star Trek ." And I don't just mean sci-fi shows because we have plenty of those. For me, what has always set "Star Trek" apart from any other sci-fi show, and also sci-fi movies for that matter, is the optimism. You see, pretty much any story set in the far future always depicts a bleak, mostly dystopian vision of the future. You know the shtick - robots have taken over, an alien race has enslaved humanity, apes rule the world, that type of story.

"Star Trek," on the other hand, shows us humanity at its peak - a civilization that has solved all of its problems and is now dedicated to helping other, less fortunate civilizations around the universe. That is a very uplifting and wonderful concept in my opinion, and I have only seen it done on two shows - "Star Trek," and "The Orville," which is pretty much a " Star Trek " homage.

Solo Stove smokeless wood-burning fire pits and accessories are 30% off in Prime Day savings

As part of the ongoing  Prime Deals Day event , Amazon is offering  30% off  discounts  on a pair of Solo Stove smokeless fire pits, as well as a selection of accessories too. The company’s popular  Bonfire 2.0 model with a stand  is currently down at  $241.49 shipped . Normally fetching $470, we saw some growing discounts earlier in the year, which fell to a short-lived $241 low back in March before rising to $345, where it has remained for the last three and a half months. Today’s deal comes in as a 49% markdown that gives you $229 in savings and lands it at the second-lowest price we have tracked – within $1 of the all-time low.

The Bonfire 2.0 fire pit  is a smoke-free wood burning fire pit that compliments any outdoor space with its streamlined stainless steel design. Weighing just over 20 pounds and coming with a carrying case, you can take this device along with you on your next camping trip, picnic, or backyard get-together to upgrade your fireside experience to one free of smoke as well as the teary eyes and lingering odors from it. It features a removable ash pan and base for easier post-fire access, so you’re spending less time cleaning and more time enjoying the relaxing outdoor atmospheres of summer (and/or other seasons too).

More Solo Stove Prime Day fire pit deals:

• Mesa XL Tabletop Fire Pit with stand:  $100  (Reg. $149)
• Bonfire Grill Top and Hub:  $157  (Reg. $225)
• Bonfire 25-inch Heat Deflector:  $119  (Reg. $170)

Save up to $700 on Segway’s Cube series power stations at new lows starting from $500, with ramping prices

As part of its  Prime Deals Day  event, Amazon is offering two Segway Cube power stations at a special 2-day shifting rate, with the first of them, the  Cube 1000 model  starting off today, July 16, at  $499.99 shipped . Down from its normal $1,000 price tag, it’s seen few discounts since its release last year, though each of them have offered major savings, with only four having brought down costs since 2024 began – three of which cut prices to $700 and one took things further to the $600 low. Today, you’ll have the opportunity to not only save $500 on this new backup power solution, but you’ll also be getting it at a new all-time low…until tomorrow, July 17, when the price will rise to the second-lowest  $599.99 shipped  rate. So if you’re looking to get the best price possible, don’t dawdle or think on things too long – the savings are only planned to last for two days only!

The  Cube 1000  arrives sporting a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be further expanded up to 5,120Wh with the addition of four  BTX-1000 expansion batteries  (sold separately). It provides 2,200W of output power (peaking at 4,400W) and 12 different port options (four USB-As, three ACs, two UBS-Cs, two DCs, and on car port) to run your devices and/or appliances. It can rapidly recharge back to full in just 1.2 hours when plugged into a standard wall outlet, and also has a 800W solar input which you can use to take advantage of solar charging too – plus, the usual smart controls you’d expect via the Segway-Ninebot app with a Bluetooth connection.

The other unit seeing a big price drop (with no shifting price) to a new all-time low is the  Cube 2000 Portable Power Station for  $999 shipped , down from $1,700. Starting off at a larger 2,048Wh capacity, it sports much of the same design and performance specs as the above model, but in a larger body. The one notable difference is its rapid recharging capabilities refilling the battery at an increased 1.8 hours.

LG’s ENERGY STAR certified Smart All-In-One Electric Washer and Ventless Dryer now $1,000 off

As part of the now live  early Prime Day deals  and the  Black Friday in July sale , Best Buy is offering the  LG 5.0 Cubic-Foot HE Smart Mega Capacity All-in-One Electric Washer and Ventless Dryer for  $1,999.99 shipped . Normally priced at $3,000, this is the second-best deal we have seen on this popular eco-friendly appliance, beaten out only by its recent July 4th 50% off discount to the $1,500 low. It comes in today as a slightly lesser 33% markdown that still gives you a solid $1,000 in savings to invest elsewhere in your home renovations and upgrades.

This  combination washer/dryer unit  arrives ENERGY STAR certified, sporting a streamlined ventless design and AI-supported functionality that takes the annoying hassles out of laundry routines. You’ll get the full wide array of smart controls through its companion app, as well as built-in smart systems to detect fabric types and their soil levels in order to adjust settings for the optimal wash, tossing out the need to memorize which cycle and settings are ideal for particular clothes and fabrics.

It also has a large ezDispense reservoir that can hold and dispense up to 31 loads of detergent, or you can divide it up amongst detergent and fabric softener. One of its obvious standout features is the ventless design that not only lets you install it anywhere that fits your convenience (and not just your home’s pre-determined layout), but its inverter heat pump technology that makes it far more energy efficient than most other models, “using up to 60% less energy with every load.” Head below for more.
