Four sandwiches rotated in the opposite direction to all the other sandwiches.

I'm tempted to email the enquiries email to ask about this.

Hello,

I found your website and wondered what a spinning sandwich email would be like. I would like to request one email, please.

Klingons drinking blood wine: am I a joke to you?

Shit, I don’t know if there’s any snorting of substances in Trek. Maybe Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds, haven’t watched those.

There was the Grand Negus’ Beetle Snuff in DS9, but I don’t recall them having a cool verb nickname for it.

SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 3d

I mean snuff is already a verb meaning to inhale a powder

I think OOP is thinking of cyberpunk specifically.

I mean, earth getting united and working together with aliens? It's clearly fantasy.

In TNG’s first episode they show the military types during the Q court scenes snorting some ‘drug’.

Nounwine I get but snorting a verb? Snorting a walk? Snorting a stab??? I don’t get it, what am I missing?

Edit: Thank you! I get it now, though I’m not sure it’s as prevalent as nounwine.

Snorting launch. Snorting hack. Snorting go. The possibilities are endless.

Almacca@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 3d

Snorting snort.

guillem@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 3d

Probably something like "they were snorting dissociate in the toilet", "they were snorting scream in an alley", "while snorting amaze in the conference room"...

i'm not sure i get this one, what's a nounwine?

i mean, yes, funny haha nouns and verbs, hilarious, but that can't be the bit? why fantasy, why sci fi?

megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 3d

So like “fire wine” or “angel wine” or what ever. Like a lot of fantasy settings will have a drink that’s wine, but they specify it as a special kind of wine that’s not actually wine or made by mystical elves on a mountain.

But like in a lot of sci-fi settings there will be some fictional future drug. And it’s be called something like “hack”, “boil” or “shock” or something. Hence snorting verbs and drinking noun wine.
