Not my OC
This is the only shirt from either franchise that I own...
Similarly, this is my only franchise shirt. 
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.
Nice. I have one with a pic of the Enterprise and "Star Wars #1 Fan"
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
That's fucking amazing. I love it. I want games like that for real now (they say, knowing full well that historically games made from movie and TV IP have been largely awful, alas):
- Asteroids, but with Star Wars ships.
- Galaga, but you fly voyager through Borg space, trans warp conduits, etc. Occasionally you pick up a clone or alternate timeline Voyager to fight along side you.
- Space invaders I think would also be a good with a Starship Troopers skin and bugs lobbing rocks at your bases, could also be good in the style of Scorched Earth (or Worms Armageddon).
- An Apple II style text only adventure game in Deep Space Nine.
- A farming/trading/city sim on Babylon 5.
- Civilization, but it's Babylon 5, Star Trek, or Star Wars, Dune, etc.
- Old school 2.5D Zelda adventure game, but it's Firefly or The Expanse.
- A Mario Bros. game but it's Farscape.
- Mario kart, also Farscape.
- Leisure Suit Larry in the style of Lexx.
I would play all of these.
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.
Oh man, there were a pair of middle-aged guys at the table behind me at a restaurant recently, and I SO BADLY wanted to join their conversation! Favorite Romulan ship class, U.S.S. Pegasus: treaty violation or necessary development?, Best DS9 episodes... they were my kind of people.
I have absolutely randomly jumped into a conversation like that before 🤣
I would have at least tried, but I was with my family and didn't want to abandon them.
... Or a new foe, two seconds later
"ARCHER? SERIOUSLY?"
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.
Yeah, it'd have to be a specific piece of Star Wars media the shirt referenced to compete for me. Like KOTOR or Andor.
In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.
Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.

Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.
Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.
I am your nephew's second cousin's boyfriend's roommate's uncle's brother!
What does that make us?
Absolutely nothing!
(Thank you for setting up the line!)
never give up, never surrender!
unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels...
Now I'm trying to think of what I'm forgetting about trekkie gear from those books. All that comes immediately to mind is the Bob that names himself after Riker, but that's less gear and more a virtual persona or something.
the later books has a group of bobs that call themselves starfleet that becomes an important plot point

The fandom knows itself
Content not available in my region 😭
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?
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.

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.
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
