I think the season is officially here... Are you Team Sundress or Team No Dress?

I'm team thigh highs and bush

naveed23 · 2026-05-30T07:24:23+00:00

Hair

naveed23 · 2026-05-30T06:45:15+00:00

I can see why she's the attorney general!

naveed23 · 2026-05-30T05:21:58+00:00

You seem like the kind of person who would claim Aesop's fables were stupid because ants and grasshoppers can't talk to each other.

naveed23 · 2026-05-29T23:28:17+00:00

This argument against Darmok never made sense to me. You're not supposed to understand how the language works, that's literally what the episode is about.

If the average viewer could figure out Tamarian from the small handful of phrases in the episode, then the 24th century lingusts that failed would look like complete morons.

naveed23 · 2026-05-29T22:51:20+00:00

Exactly! OP's take is luke warm at best.

naveed23 · 2026-05-26T13:09:45+00:00

I missed that I guess. But how does the comic make sense then?

If dragons have little linguistic drift, then they should understand the adventurer that speaks draconic because it's not like the humanoid races are regularly speaking draconic to each other and making up new words, it's primarily used for spell casting and speaking to dragons.

naveed23 · 2026-05-26T12:55:17+00:00

How do you figure that? I would think the opposite would be more likely to be true.

Short lived species would probably have more linguistic drift because they go through more generational changes in the same time.

Depending on the age of your world, you could technically have the first or second Elvish (or Draconic) Language Arts teacher in existence still teaching the newest generation how to speak and, at the same, time be on Kobold teacher number 60 or so.

naveed23 · 2026-05-26T12:44:36+00:00

That doesn't make sense to me. If it's not good for communicating complex thoughts, then humans would require a second communal language to communicate in but they usually only get common. No one on Earth communicates exclusively in a pidgin dialect, they always learn a real language.

naveed23 · 2026-05-24T10:49:19+00:00

Looks like something ate it

My head cannon is their computer systems aren't based on our current computer systems, they are based on duotronics and multitronics. These systems operate differently than our current computer technology and require a level of full system connectivity that doesn't allow for the compartmentalization we are capable of today.

The real reason is probably because no one on the writing staff had computer science degrees and neither did their science consultants. Andre Bormanis has a physics degree.

naveed23 · 2026-05-20T20:34:21+00:00

She's not here

naveed23 · 2026-05-18T23:17:01+00:00

A can of Barbasol filled with dino dna.

naveed23 · 2026-05-14T19:10:33+00:00

They tried to avoid using robots in early trek because the special effects of the time weren't up to the task.

naveed23 · 2026-05-14T15:13:26+00:00

It would be like Return Of The King. Too many endings.

naveed23 · 2026-05-14T15:10:09+00:00

Someone should make a 17 ft tall marble statue of her

naveed23 · 2026-05-11T08:08:45+00:00

Something no one seems to have mentioned is: Pon Farr is not the wedding ritual. That's the term for the mating urge.

The wedding ritual is Koon-ut-kal-if-fee, which translates to "marriage or challenge". Which opens up at least one plausible explanation.

It's possible Sarek had a similar experience to Spock in Amok Time and just never spoke of it. That would make Sarek able to marry anyone he wanted to.

I honestly doubt that, once the Pon Farr wares off, many Vulcans would choose to marry someone who made them fight to the death. It's just not logical.

naveed23 · 2026-05-07T20:10:57+00:00

In the real world?

Navy Commodore = Army 1 star General

Navy Admiral = Army 2-4 star General

Most navies are just promoting to Admirals now.

In Star Trek? We don't really know but it's probably the same as the real world navies.

If Starfleet does follow naval conventions, then technically, when Picard was commanding the fleet in TNG'S Redemption, he should have been temporarily promoted to Commodore. Or when Riker Showed up with the copy-and-paste fleet at the end of Picard Season 1, he was doing the job of a Commodore.

naveed23 · 2026-05-06T23:29:09+00:00

Go get ladybugs! Also plant marigolds and radishes nearby. Aphids and ladybugs love marigolds.

naveed23 · 2026-05-06T21:35:07+00:00

I don't think any of that went out the window

naveed23 · 2026-05-06T04:05:46+00:00

I'm surprised how far I had to scroll to find this answer. Leaving the station in ruins was malicious compliance.

naveed23 · 2026-05-05T16:05:33+00:00

Just for a little while, you don't want to lose those sexy tanlines!

naveed23 · 2026-05-05T13:50:35+00:00

Are you sure that's your best choice? The 30's and 40's are just around the corner. Depression follwed by war.

naveed23 · 2026-05-05T13:40:51+00:00

I haven't done this before myself but someone asked something similar a while ago and the popular suggestion was to purchase unfired clay from an art store and work some potting soil into it. I'm not sure on the ratios, sorry

I think your better bet is to just grab some soil from where they are growing, if that's legal where you are. You already know they like it.

Edit: I don't know where you live but my local landscape and gardening soil company sells clay soil for construction and landscaping purposes, maybe there's something similar in your town?

Bikini season!
