Someone else can field that one.

I didn't get it for a solid 2 minutes before realizing you have to pronounce it wrong for the joke to work

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously. It's pronounced frAHnk-en-steen

Think I'll tell myself that's why it took me awhile too 😖

There's also Karl Marx's sister Onya.

She was a famous runner in her time and is still remembered at the start of every event.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

TIL. I thought she was Groucho's sister.

Technically "Frankenstein" is the creator, not the monster itself.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

Did you see the way the creature was treated? Frankenstein was the monster.

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago

I hadn't considered that they could both be monsters in their own monstery way.

[-] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

He IS the monster

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The real monsters are the people who that it's the name of the creature.

Victor's creation's name was Adam. Adam Frankenstein.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

He's never given a name in the book, so no.

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

This is also pedantic.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 5 points 3 weeks ago

No pattern buffer for you...

Oh, I see what you did there!? Brilliant!

[-] cuerdo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

His cousin Harveywein was also a monster

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
