Sinnlos im Weltall, usually shortened to SiW, is a German fan dub that revoiced episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation with completely nonsensical dialogue. Shared online in the early 2000s, its deadpan lines became cult quotes among German speaking fans, long before short clips were cut for soundboards. Tschau, the informal German spelling of ciao, became one of its throwaway farewells. The clip survives because the joke travels without context: one casual word, said like nothing matters, still works for any exit online today.
