I've never seen an errant apostrophe in gets before.

HERE COMES AN S

Dang, she had a lot of nipple going on.

Fabric seams I think. But, they had to realize that the outfit would look like that right?

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Oh ikr? that's been killing me the entire run of snw.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Those nipples would be in pretty strange places

Soap can definitely not be clean.

If you let it get covered in dirt, especially.

Looking back at this early Nů-Spock appearance, glad they toned down the makeup and slightly more Romulan hair. It's like he's doing a vaudeville era Trek.

I didn’t even realize it was actually from the show. I thought it was either fan art or AI.

Short Treks, they get stuck in the turbolift and kill time talking.

Realistically, the casket is eventually gonna rot and cave in.

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fun fact! Caskets in the US are sealed inside vaults, either concrete or metal, because they aren't strong enough to hold up to dirt anyway. Also most caskets are metal these days. They'll last long enough to be exhumed and moved elsewhere for land reclamation in a few centuries.

(A family friend runs a company that makes/sells the vaults)

No idea about modern Vulcan burials, though. They might be better off doing the Dune thing for the water.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for your knowledge, I was basing mine off of historical/archeological burial methods

Seems kinda selfish not to let the wood and body rot into the ground. That is the basis of the soil lifecycle is it not?

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh it's absolutely a racket and a wasteful industry relying on sentimentality, religion, and mourning families.

I'd be all for throwing our corpses into grinders and (after some sanitation, no doubt) feeding crops or something, assuming any transplantable organs and any scientific work were done with them. But I'm certainly in a tiny minority.

New to ST, which show are the frames from?

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So those are characters from Strange New Worlds (a truly amazing show) but the frames are from an episode of Short Treks called Q&A which takes place within the first few minutes of Spock beaming on board Enterprise for the very first time.

I did like those uniforms. Disco style, but TOS colours. I can see why SNW didn't use them, but it's a shame we only got a handful of appearances from them.

[–] dejected_warp_core@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My headcannon here is that Starfleet Fashion Week is this highly competitive yearly event, with designers trying all kinds of insane things to turn admiral's heads. So there's this robust fashion industry vying for bragging rights for re-tooling all the Federation uniforms. All this stuff comes out of replicators anwyay, there's no reason not to change uniforms up every few years if they feel like it. Hence the outfit churn.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

Which you can combine with real canon pretty easily.

From what I remember, Uniforms were not universal in Starfleet. Neither was the badge on your uniform.

You could have had all this fashion week stuff going on using each ship as a different runway
