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 17 points 5 hours ago (1 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.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 33 minutes ago

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.

... Or a new foe, two seconds later

Content not available in my region 😭

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 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?

[–] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Thank you 🙂

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 3 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.

[–] ashughes@feddit.uk 7 points 4 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 3 points 4 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

Trying. I'll keep you updated 😂

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 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 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.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, I got mine in a thrift store ... makes sense.

I would like a Trek t-shirt, but being outside the US I'm sure it's even more difficult to find one :-/

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 4 hours ago

yeah not a good look to have pictures of space nazi soldiers on your chest

In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 9 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

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

Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] nonfuinoncuro@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

never give up, never surrender!

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

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What does that make us?

[–] ThisUsernameKillsFascists@piefed.social 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

As a Star Wars fan, I heartily concur

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Even if it's a red shirt? You could be stuck in the cross fire lolol

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 24 minutes ago

On Kirk’s ship that means you die on an away mission. On Picard’s it means you give a Borg cube the middle finger while charging straight at it and somehow survive

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 4 points 3 hours ago

Since the red shirt draws all the fire they'd be safer than anywhere else.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 34 points 14 hours ago

The fandom knows itself

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

There's a guy at a customer's IT that regularly wears a Rebel Alliance hoodie. I've been wary of him since I first saw him.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 hours ago

Revel Alliance feels better than "Star Wars" TBH, especially after the absolute jewel that was Andor.

[–] Elting@piefed.social 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They are liking the thing I like the wrong way!

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The bomber run physics were fine.

I'll see myself out.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 8 hours ago

Han didn't shoot first!

is tumblr a "Star Wars site" now?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 19 points 14 hours 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?
