Not my OC
The only Star Trek or Star Wars shirt I currently own is black with yellow gold lettering saying "Star Trek" in the Star Wars font. I think it makes some people uncomfortable. My S.O. hates it. I think it's hilarious and I know immediately what type of "nerd" I'm dealing with based on people's reactions to it. I suspect most people don't realize it's a joke or they are worried that I don't know it's a joke.
I have a Space Invaders shirt with warbirds and the Enterprise as your ship at the bottom. Sadly no one has recognized it as trek yet
I think part of it is also that a random stranger in a star wars shirt can be anyone. A random stranger in a star trek shirt is a nerd, and therefore more likely to be a cool dude.
Yes exactly, you can walk up to anyone in a Star Trek shirt and by simply saying the phrase "favorite captain?" you'll probably have a new friend two hours later.
Oh man, there were a pair of middle-aged guys at the table behind me at a restaurant recently, and I SO BADLY wanted to join their conversation! Favorite Romulan ship class, U.S.S. Pegasus: treaty violation or necessary development?, Best DS9 episodes... they were my kind of people.
... Or a new foe, two seconds later
"ARCHER? SERIOUSLY?"
Listen, pinkskin...
The star wars equivalent of this is dropping a tactical nuke with the question of modern or old lore and then asking for their favorite era.
Yeah, it'd have to be a specific piece of Star Wars media the shirt referenced to compete for me. Like KOTOR or Andor.
In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.
Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.
And C4, obviously.
and naquadria enhanced NUKES, or blowing up the stargate, which is a "super nuke"
As in a mine or as in a sword?
Try breaking into O’Neill’s room and you’ll meet one then the other
Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.
Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.
never give up, never surrender!
unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels...
Now I'm trying to think of what I'm forgetting about trekkie gear from those books. All that comes immediately to mind is the Bob that names himself after Riker, but that's less gear and more a virtual persona or something.
I am your nephew's second cousin's boyfriend's roommate's uncle's brother!
What does that make us?
Absolutely nothing!
(Thank you for setting up the line!)
Content not available in my region 😭
Here, I'll copy/paste it.
With Imgur and Reddit having all the silly restrictions, I'm not sure why more people don't upload their images directly to Lemmy?
I always feel bad for uploading anything here because I feel like I'm wasting precious space. Yes I know it probably doesn't matter at all but still.
Thank you 🙂
I really don't understand why a user base predisposed to Lemmy is okay with using a proprietary centralized service that isn't globally accessible. I might understand it if Lemmy didn't support image uploads, but it does.
It's like you're not okay with your text being censored by private corporations and governments, but here, take my images and please make sure some people can't see it.
I get that some probably have muscle memory for certain services but it just seems like the majority here don't even care to unlearn it.
Probably just habit. Or maybe a bot account?
I'm in England, so maybe the government have blocked it 👍😭 Sign of things to come I guess
Get a better region mate
Trying. I'll keep you updated 😂
The fandom knows itself
As a Star Wars fan, I heartily concur
The only sci-fi T-shirt I have is covered in Storm Troopers ... maybe I should think about upgrading (both me and my other half are Trek fans)
Star Wars shirts are a lot more common for cheap in stores like Walmart, to be bought on a whim. Star Trek shirts have to be specifically sought out online or at conventions or something, and tend to cost more.
That's why I, a trekkie, own more Star Wars shirts than Star Trek ones.
yeah not a good look to have pictures of space nazi soldiers on your chest
Nobody hates a star wars fan like another star wars fan.
They are liking the thing I like the wrong way!
You...may have the best username I've ever seen.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
is tumblr a "Star Wars site" now?
If anything, it's still a Doctor Who site, if we're going by "biggest science-fiction franchise", but why would this poll suggest that?
Edit: oh wait because "shared to Star Wars sites". They meant tumblr blogs.
Star Trek memes and shitposts
