I was gonna say they look like gowron but yours is even more accurate
I keep seeing this guy pop up in memes.
I've never seen Star Trek, but like... he makes me want to give it a go
If you do, start with TNG. And maybe even skip the first 3-4 episodes of that and watch them later

Glory to you...and your houssssse
FWIW, I think the memes do the character too much credit. Not that he's badly written; far from it. Rather, he's a shit warrior who pretends his political ambitions are honorable. Without going into spoilers, there's a little dialog scene late in DS9 that lays out how the Klingon Empire is not living up to its own values, people like Gowron are the reason, and Gowron himself needs to be gutted yesterday.
My biggest complaint with how the Gowron character was written was his final battle with Worf. He fought honorably with a Bat'leth. From everything we've seen about Gowron earlier in his presentation, he should have fought dirty, and with knives.
Just be aware there are some high highs, but also low lows. And some of the lows have aged kiiinda poorly. But overall, Iβd say ST is super fun, and also generally holds true to the humanist (sentient-istβ¦?) vibe that TOS established and that TNG (imo) perfected.
Kelvinverse is just an action movie series though, and it canonically exists as a forked timeline, so you are free to outright ignore those in terms of lore (no not that one) if you want to.
Glory to you⦠AND YOUR UTERUS
Aliens talk in TCP
Exactly what I've seen.
"I've come in peace"
shits its diaper
HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE???? I've already had my kids and got a vasectomy. It would be so good to have photos like these hanging on the walls for when my boys bring home partners.
Yeah you don't do an MRI without reasons, thats probably why (very safe but less so compared to ultrasound). Also you get the live images with ultrasound I don't think that's standard with those big MRI systems.
There's no danger for an mri unless you've had major surgery involving metal inplants. There's no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.
Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.
Exactly. MRI machine is a big, expensive, in-demand thing. Ultrasound is cheap, quick and easy.
Though tbf I think this meme demonstrates that we need to lower the cost of MRIs.

My wife got a prenatal MRI as part of a scientific study, so I got to see my kid's MRI face. It's truly one of the ugliest pictures of him in existence
That is beautiful! Thank you, made my day.
So β¦ you seen Romulus?
Not since JJ Abrams blew it up
If this connection intrigues you I
a) implore you to read SCP-6959
b) join my new religion based on the idea that we are formed as crylaugh-emoji and we shall become crylaugh-emoji
So you know those laws in some states where women need to be shown an ultrasound of the fetus before getting an abortion? Let's switch those to an MRI.
Ok, ok, MRI machines are expensive, there would be a long waiting list, and it's still unnecessary. But I'd laugh my ass off.
god, don't give them ideas, they'll be waiting 10 months before they're allowed to begin
Kinda reminds me of this martian had a lovechild with a Chucky doll
Maybe that's a good tactic against the pro-life
I usually can't tell what's going on in ultrasound photos. This seems much more effective at proving there's a baby in there
face.
Cast it into the fire!
This is better. I'm never having kids, but if I did now I'd really want an MRI scan of the little darling.
NSFW? This is hilarious!
My first thought was the They Live aliens
Everything is funnier with googly eyes.
Aww what a cutie.
You think adults are prettier?
That's a bad reason. This is WAY better!
looks like one of those ugly wii characters
