    One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.

    I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.

      I agree, but after spending some time here, it’s amazing how sensitive the people are about their fandoms on these more niche communities. Like guys, come on… it’s just entertainment, you’re allowed to have opinions, not everything should make you feel so stressed.

      At least in larger sites like reddit people can have lighthearted spats and debates about silly things like media. Some of the folks here really need some sunlight.

      I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.

        As a purist, we can agree that the only real series was TNG, this was the cornerstone, built on the hallowed but kind of silly ground made by the original series, but followed by DS9 when we grew up a little, and we can kinda accept Voyager was a thing that happened somewhere in the distance but we don’t get too close.

        There was nothing else. The franchise ended and we all moved on, happy for the good run. “ALL GOOD THINGS…”

          A purist would know that it’s not Star Trek if Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are not present. We don’t need French men with English accents or William T. Ripoff!

      I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; “it must’ve been two men…nobody drinks two six-packs alone” and I just cracked up.

      12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)

    I’m not sure whether that’s a hot take, and I know there are different levels of tolerance, but I think you might have a problem if you drink 20 beers in 2-3 days (assuming 4-6% alcohol). Or at least you will probably have, starting day 2 :D

      I mean, if you’re doing a full weekend of activities with friends those beers could be spaced out far enough that you’re never more than slightly buzzed (small cans, <5%ABV). But yeah, if it’s a regular thing, it’s not a great look.

        Yeah if you crack open the first cold one at noon when it gets hot while you’re helping with some outdoors work and finish your last one at 3 AM talking shit with your friends, you probably never get drunk with those amounts. If you drink it all over 4 hours per evening, different story.

      There is a big difference if it’s a periodic activity or a one time party thing. If it’s a one time one, it’s not a big deal, apart from heavy hangover afterwards.

      If it’s like a once a year event, is it really that bad? It’s what I do for summer solstice. I don’t easily get drunk though. Maybe 15 beers an evening to get me drunk, so 30-40 for a weekend if I were to drink only beer and nothing stronger.

      Assuming 12oz beers at 5% ABV, that you’re a man at the global average weight of 180lbs, and have a healthy liver, if you paced yourself to 1 beer every 1.5 hours over the course of your 16 waking hours per day, your BAC would never exceed 0.02, you’d have 5-10 minutes between beers with a BAC of 0, and you’d drink about 12 beers in a day.

      Most people would not be noticeably intoxicated by this and probably wouldn’t experience any kind of hangover. They might wind up a bit dehydrated if that’s the only thing they drink. It’s also definitely not advisable to do that over any extended period of time.

      20 beers

      There’s no volume stated here… is 1 beer a pint, 0.5 liters, small bottle/can of .33 liters, 2 liter bottle.

      If it’s the the small bottle it’s not that much

          0.33 in Nordics. Then also 0.4, common bar serving, and 0.5l can and full pint, 0.568l cans.

          But “a beer” in the Nordics would generally be 0.33 from a can and 0.4l from a tap

              Yup. It is indeed. I just wanted to add info.

              Sometimes I seem sodas in 0.355 cans, mostly red bull. Somewhat uncommon size here imo, and I’m just wondering where theyre used. 0.355 seems like a US size, but the bottles I got from Germany were mostly 0.33l aa well. Although the cans were like 0.6l

              Just wondering how prevalent and mismatched the standards are

                355mL is 12 fl oz in Freedom Units™, and is the most common soda/beer size in the US. Red Bull and other such energy drinks tend to come in a smaller form factor, oddly enough.

                  Yeah there’s 250ml Red Bull, which is the most common one, but then theres a larger version here which goes to 355 and I think even larger, a 473ml one.

                  But yeah the tiny 250 is the most common

    I only upvoted for the Darmok reference and the actual photo still hasn’t loaded to see if the reference is valid.
