BlueSky post by @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com that reads, “if they’re drinking nounwine it’s fantasy. if they’re snorting a verb it’s sci fi.”
I checked out https://rotatingsandwiches.com/ from her @, and damn, that page did deliver.
Didn’t know what to expect, but that’s the most incredible page I’ve seen
Four sandwiches rotated in the opposite direction to all the other sandwiches.
I’m tempted to email the enquiries email to ask about this.
i emailed them:
Hello,
I found your website and wondered what a spinning sandwich email would be like. I would like to request one email, please.
Fuck, now I’m hungry
Damn! Now you made me hungry!
This is the kinda content I came for
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.
From 2 years ago.
I mean snuff is already a verb meaning to inhale a powder
In TNG’s first episode they show the military types during the Q court scenes snorting some ‘drug’.
I think OOP is thinking of cyberpunk specifically.
I mean, earth getting united and working together with aliens? It’s clearly fantasy.
Fucked up in the holodeck snorting exfoliate
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 Sizzle”
“snorting Float”
“snorting Glide”
etc.Me in the club at 2 AM, snorting clench
a line of Soar
a bump of Elevate
a pinch of TranscendSnorting snort.
Snorting launch. Snorting hack. Snorting go. The possibilities are endless.
Probably something like “they were snorting dissociate in the toilet”, “they were snorting scream in an alley”, “while snorting amaze in the conference room”…
What if you’re having a snifter of Turbowine?
But what if they offer to sell you death sticks?
Then you need to go home and rethink your life.
If you’re mainlining adjective it’s cyberpunk
Lauren be drinking too much box wine.
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?
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.
