Hexbear would attract a LOT more catboy users if we spoke to that community by being entirely catboy-themed

[–] edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Not enough cats on here


This user is suspected of being a cat. Please report any suspicious behavior.

Do we not already???

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Or hear me out hexbear would attract more transfems by being catgirl themed :3

Oh give me a locus where the gravitons focus, where the three-body problem is solved, where the microwaves play down at 3 degrees K, and the cold virus never evolved.

Home, home on Lagrange. Where the space debris always collects. We possess, so it seems, two of man's greatest dreams: Solar power and zero-g sex.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Any cowboy scientists out there will appreciate that. A LOT more cowboys would use /c/science if posts resembled this.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Scientist cowboys are an important demographic for hexbear, and one that has been woefully under-served.

I say that's a mighty fine spherical pig you got there, pardner. Y'all could model all sorts of simulations with that thang cowboy-cri

It ain't right what they done did by picking a hexagonal animal for a mascot , leaves us physics boys feeling mighty unwelcome.

Unfortunately, you also get a lot of crossover with ZZ Top fans, or as they call them up in Canada, Zed-Zed Top.

Easy there, I ain’t rustling no steer howdy-skull

It's pride month, have you kissed your pardner today?

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white pardner, so long as it catches mice it's fine by me! deng-cowboy

[–] ComradeRat@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

And at a rodeo in Simonton, thirty-seven miles west of the city, Orville Schell reported, “Surrounded by his aides, ministers, and interpreters, pumping hands like a small-town pol, Deng . . . approaches the rail . . . a young girl on horseback gallops up and presents him with a ten-gallon hat. . . . The whistling, cheering crowd watches with delight as Deng theatrically dons his new hat.

  • Vogel, Deng Xiaoping Biography

It always amazes me that cowboy deng is real and not just a meme

[–] BGDelirium@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

Me and my pappy and his pappy didn't cheer for the Green Bay Packers all these years for this site to turn into no damn Dallas Cowboy fan forum

Have we tried ringing a chow bell?

[–] Impenetrouble@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

I thought we already settled on being entirely liberal-themed and I don't see us doing both at the same time

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

Being liberal-themed attracts liberals, but it doesn't speak to the heart of what it means to be a cowboy. Where are the horse posts in /c/urbanism? Cowboys have no incentive to choose us over Lemmy.world.

[–] deforestgump@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Listen here, partner. I've seen a lot of bull hockey in my day...

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

This ain't horse apples. This here's theory.

[–] Athena5898@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

I graduated from OK state. You don't want it lol

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

...depends on whether you're talking actual cowboys or just folks who identify as cowboy...

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

actual cowboys

no-oil in shambles rn

[–] Athena5898@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

Aka the all hat and no cattle folk

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

I agree we lost track of hog-posting.

We need some bears to embrace some deep ops and wrangle them chuds so we can dunk again. brace-dark-cowboy

What if Hexbear had a COINTELPRO rival instance called Pentbear?

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There is a secret utra instance called Septabear septabear

Well it's not actually secret, i'm the only user, but i can't risk letting revisionists and opportunists in.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, Septabear membership disqualifies you from entry into the ∆8-Hexbeariol site where I give everyone free edibles and we watch the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings movies.

We at hexbear love our horse-boys

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

We do have a lot of MLP nights...

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Well I am here and my whole wardrobe is highly cowboy coded. I own three cowboy hats and multiple long coats, one tailored three button waste coat and three pairs of boots. All I am missing is a colt single action army and inshallah one day I shall own one.

Basically trying to complete my full set of Tombstone cosplay.

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

Can Australians be stockmen instead? Gotta do my best Man from Snowy River impression

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

Hexbear already has cowboy pronoun options, which are good enough for me.
