NASA, with the tampons.
One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.
I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.
One of us! One of us!
Gooba Gabba, One of us!!
I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.
As a purist, we can agree that the only real series was TNG, this was the cornerstone, built on the hallowed but kind of silly ground made by the original series, but followed by DS9 when we grew up a little, and we can kinda accept Voyager was a thing that happened somewhere in the distance but we don’t get too close.
There was nothing else. The franchise ended and we all moved on, happy for the good run. “ALL GOOD THINGS…”
wtf is a Star Trek “purist” and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?
why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion
By this metric, what’s the point of even browsing any forums or websites at all? Everything is someone’s arbitrary opinion, if it makes you feel bad to read something you disagree with, you can’t fix that outside of yourself.
I love that your response to what a “star trek purist” is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet
It probably means different things for different people, because like every other fandom, it’s kinda arbitrary.
I was kind of purist. I started with TOS, but TNG, DS9, and VOY were right then too. Didn’t care as much for Voyager, but it was ok. Skipped Enterprise completely. I have TAS but haven’t watched it. Actively disliked the Kelvin movies. I’ve missed all the new stuff because I don’t stream, except Lower Decks, which I find delightful. I’m gonna pick up Picard and SNW soon.
I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?
you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a “star trek purist” is? maybe you can shed some light on that.
My actual response to someone so cynical and unable to relax and banter about hobbies and fandoms is to block them. Bye.
Burn the heretic!
I agree, but after spending some time here, it’s amazing how sensitive the people are about their fandoms on these more niche communities. Like guys, come on… it’s just entertainment, you’re allowed to have opinions, not everything should make you feel so stressed.
At least in larger sites like reddit people can have lighthearted spats and debates about silly things like media. Some of the folks here really need some sunlight.
It’s quite simple really.
Are you planning on a sensible night with a few tinnies? 4.
Are you wanting to get wankered but still make sense by lunchtime tomorrow? 14.
Are you wanting to get utterly trashed and wake up the morning after the morning after? 24.
Are you part of a suicide cult? Yeah go with 104, sure whatever.
Depends on the ABV bigtime…
I’m not sure whether that’s a hot take, and I know there are different levels of tolerance, but I think you might have a problem if you drink 20 beers in 2-3 days (assuming 4-6% alcohol). Or at least you will probably have, starting day 2 :D
Assuming 12oz beers at 5% ABV, that you’re a man at the global average weight of 180lbs, and have a healthy liver, if you paced yourself to 1 beer every 1.5 hours over the course of your 16 waking hours per day, your BAC would never exceed 0.02, you’d have 5-10 minutes between beers with a BAC of 0, and you’d drink about 12 beers in a day.
Most people would not be noticeably intoxicated by this and probably wouldn’t experience any kind of hangover. They might wind up a bit dehydrated if that’s the only thing they drink. It’s also definitely not advisable to do that over any extended period of time.
That explains why my perception is off, I weigh more like 140 :D
I mean, if you’re doing a full weekend of activities with friends those beers could be spaced out far enough that you’re never more than slightly buzzed (small cans, <5%ABV). But yeah, if it’s a regular thing, it’s not a great look.
There is a big difference if it’s a periodic activity or a one time party thing. If it’s a one time one, it’s not a big deal, apart from heavy hangover afterwards.
20 beers
There’s no volume stated here… is 1 beer a pint, 0.5 liters, small bottle/can of .33 liters, 2 liter bottle.
If it’s the the small bottle it’s not that much
Where can you get beer by the 2 liter?
In Hungary and Croatia for example
Generally most consider a “beer” 355ml (12oz us) give or take.
No…?
A bottle in germany is 0.5liters, in italy it’s quite 50/50 between 0.33 and 0.66 liters.
0.33 in Nordics. Then also 0.4, common bar serving, and 0.5l can and full pint, 0.568l cans.
But “a beer” in the Nordics would generally be 0.33 from a can and 0.4l from a tap
Which is why I said give or take :)
Yup. It is indeed. I just wanted to add info.
Sometimes I seem sodas in 0.355 cans, mostly red bull. Somewhat uncommon size here imo, and I’m just wondering where theyre used. 0.355 seems like a US size, but the bottles I got from Germany were mostly 0.33l aa well. Although the cans were like 0.6l
Just wondering how prevalent and mismatched the standards are
355mL is 12 fl oz in Freedom Units™, and is the most common soda/beer size in the US. Red Bull and other such energy drinks tend to come in a smaller form factor, oddly enough.
Yeah there’s 250ml Red Bull, which is the most common one, but then theres a larger version here which goes to 355 and I think even larger, a 473ml one.
But yeah the tiny 250 is the most common
12 oz “US”
Get a 12 pack of beer and a medium sized nice liquor bottle as backup
if he likes shit beer, get a 12 pack, good beer, 6 pack
I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; “it must’ve been two men…nobody drinks two six-packs alone” and I just cracked up.
12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)
I only upvoted for the Darmok reference and the actual photo still hasn’t loaded to see if the reference is valid.
Five Hundred Cigarettes
And a lighter.
We must have more!
Edit: Why would people downvote this? I actually want to know if anyone has an idea
we have found the qa tester.
I’ll have -1 beers.
I’ll have <r-*0> beers.
I’ll have all beers.
I’ll have✌️beers.
I don’t care why people “downvoted” your post before the edit but I did it because of the edit.
Edgy. I like it.
27? 30. 37? 2.
37! my girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!
Instructions unclear, your girlfriend now has (37! - 37) dicks remaining to suck.
yknow i told this joke on reddit like 10 years ago and i got like 20 comments related to math
Amazing, did you beat her? Did you win?
In a row?!
