Nearly dropped my phone
Apparently this was 1992 in San Diego. According to the AI summary (I did navigate into each linked source, and they seem legit), this is the info:

It also mentioned two people out of frame on the right, so I figured out it was cropped. Here’s the full original photo:



I think it’s the harsh consonant sounds. I’m not a linguist and am sure there’s some term for it, but it seems like we identify words in English more from the distinct “framing” of the consonants and are more flexible about hearing variations in how the vowel sounds in between are pronounced.
For example, it’s the same reason that whispering (which largely takes out tone/pitch of vowel sounds) is super easy in English, but more difficult in some other languages.


I think it does a good job of showing the reality of how clunky integration of different groups can be, and how even in a future where humans have “solved” racism amongst themselves, it’s not a lesson that can be buried with the past yet.
The frustrations that the crew has with Spock’s behaviors that are baffling to them, and vis versa, how Spock feels (and frequently verbalizes) about what he thinks are human failings, are very real reflections of how different groups learn to understand each other better. The friction of their interactions is the point, as well as showing that they are incredibly loyal to each other and care about each other’s wellbeing at the end of the day.
This is the heart of Star Trek, in my opinion - seeing them actively grow together despite their occasional rude outbursts and misunderstandings.


I had to look up the exact exchange, because this line always makes me laugh too. Her tone, lol
KORBY: You think I could love a machine?
CHAPEL: Did you?


Start where it all began! The original is a fun watch.

If it elicits a groan, it’s peak dad humor.


I think that’s just the proper emotion after ingesting content on twitter.


This is probably one of the most loosely moderated communities on Lemmy, intentionally. I have no desire to be the morality or thought police, I just know that a lot of people don’t want to be surprised with porn or gore that they weren’t intending to see, so sometimes I ask people to use the NSFW tag.


Getting reports on this. Could you add a NSFW tag?
As a general rule of thumb, it would be best to tag anything that is (or appears to be) from porn, even if censored or off screen.


Dumping this much corn at once is basically food waste.


It’s unironically my favorite tea. It has such a strong flavor.


I haven’t played either and I love difficult games to the point that friends think I’m a masochist. (I’m not, just patient)
I’ll have to give them a shot.


I need to play this.


I don’t see why it wouldn’t!
Although it would be so old to them that it would be like us making a swordfighting game about Macbeth or something.


It’s nice to know that our memes live on into the 2300s.
We all hate them. Please help.
Could you NSFW tag this? Getting reports about rule 4 and 6 that are reasonable, but if it’s behind a tag, I think it’s fine.
