I've never seen an errant apostrophe in gets before.

Don't worry, theyll blame it on autocorrect. You cant blame the person not paying attention in basic English classes when autocorrect wont bother to ignore correct usage like get's

my English classes were just "now class, when the author put 'he eats a sandwich' in his poem, he was really referring to the state of the 19th century and the abhorrent us-"

I had someone lose their mind over a simple correction of "could of" to "could have." You would have thought I kicked their dog. Some people take it so seriously.

Dang, she had a lot of nipple going on.

Fabric seams I think. But, they had to realize that the outfit would look like that right?

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Oh ikr? that's been killing me the entire run of snw.

Those nipples would be in pretty strange places

Looking back at this early Nů-Spock appearance, glad they toned down the makeup and slightly more Romulan hair. It's like he's doing a vaudeville era Trek.

Realistically, the casket is eventually gonna rot and cave in.

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fun fact! Caskets in the US are sealed inside vaults, either concrete or metal, because they aren't strong enough to hold up to dirt anyway. Also most caskets are metal these days. They'll last long enough to be exhumed and moved elsewhere for land reclamation in a few centuries.

(A family friend runs a company that makes/sells the vaults)

No idea about modern Vulcan burials, though. They might be better off doing the Dune thing for the water.

Thanks for your knowledge, I was basing mine off of historical/archeological burial methods

Seems kinda selfish not to let the wood and body rot into the ground. That is the basis of the soil lifecycle is it not?

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh it's absolutely a racket and a wasteful industry relying on sentimentality, religion, and mourning families.

I'd be all for throwing our corpses into grinders and (after some sanitation, no doubt) feeding crops or something, assuming any transplantable organs and any scientific work were done with them. But I'm certainly in a tiny minority.
