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

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 52 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 16 points 1 day ago

Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.

and naquadria enhanced NUKES, or blowing up the stargate, which is a "super nuke"

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As in a mine or as in a sword?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Try breaking into O’Neill’s room and you’ll meet one then the other

Content not available in my region 😭

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 19 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Thank you 🙂

[–] ashughes@feddit.uk 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

Trying. I'll keep you updated 😂

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.

[–] nonfuinoncuro@lemmy.zip 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

never give up, never surrender!

unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels...

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 1 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am your nephew's second cousin's boyfriend's roommate's uncle's brother!

Absolutely nothing!

(Thank you for setting up the line!)

The fandom knows itself

[–] ThisUsernameKillsFascists@piefed.social 21 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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)

[–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Elting@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody hates a star wars fan like another star wars fan.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (4 children)

They are liking the thing I like the wrong way!

is tumblr a "Star Wars site" now?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.
