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

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 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months 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

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

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

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 2 months 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

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 10 points 2 months 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.

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

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

[–] deforestgump@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

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

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

We at hexbear love our horse-boys

We do have a lot of MLP nights...

Have we tried ringing a chow bell?

[–] Impenetrouble@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

The ppb trough.

[–] BGDelirium@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months 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

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

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months 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.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months 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

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

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

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