Correct me if I am wrong but is tribology the study of friction?

Pretty much. Just happens to sound like it's the study of tribbles!

The Bluestocking makes sewing machines now?? Gosh, we're versatile.

That last picture is exactly how I would dress a tribble. That, or something with sequins.

Would tribology squared be the study of rubbing tribbles against something?

(A grater, in Cake's case.)

Tribbles, truffles...pretty much the same. Haven't we established they're just furry fungi?

Tribble in a hoodie.

I know, I know, it's serious.

Slightly worried that the gerbils do not appear to be willing participants.

Gerbils do seem to throw themselves enthusiastically into everything and then have a think as to whether or not it was a good idea.

A small number, a minority, also have resting wtf face.

😂brill!

Sequins. Adding sparkle and glamour (and crunch) to small furry fungi. Lovely.

The tribbles are starting to get the hang of this googly-eye business, I'm afraid!

This picture of Boily wearing the tribble's costume and wondering 'what next?' is my favourite AI image ever so far 🪲

@lcakethereforeIam is the leader we need to creatively incorporate all the little Tribbles into our every day workwear! - and occasionally into our snacks.

I think some of you have failed to study the source material on tribbles.

We know - they consume (grain and foodstuffs of all kind) and divide fast and frequently. They make sounds that are pleasing to most humanoids, but squeak at Klingons. Even Klingons that look like other races.

They do not have faces or legs. They are not sentient. They are dangerous. Android is in danger of being smothered by them, particularly if they get a sniff of the Tunnocks, or, heaven help us all, Cake. Deploy a Glommer, quick.

I suggest NYD should be spent watching The Trouble with Tribbles More Tribbles, More Troubles and Trials and Tribble-ations.

We don't all have The Full Boxed Set of Every Generation, Every Episode Ever Made (Deluxe Edition with extras), you know.

The blue outfit in particular is très chic!

Fungi-riddled daywear is so now, dahling!

Deano at home, wondering whether to watch The Trouble with Tribbles More Tribbles, or More Troubles or Trials and Tribble-ations (& which box she packed them in).

Here is an actual photo of a Tribble from the archive collection.

Looks like Arthur Scargill, or Neil Kinnocks head

I know exactly which shelf my Star Trek DVDs are stored on.

If I'm wearing a blue scant uniform that makes me a scientist. That's okay. Some kind of terraforming with a side order of tribble extermination would be fun.

I don't want to over-excite you @DeanElderberry but the AI saw you like this, too.

hmm - not sure what period that is, I haven't watched all the new stuff, so it's either gold for command or for engineering.

Still okay, just DON'T GIVE ME A RED SHIRT.

I also think the pips and the stripes are a mismatch - am I a Captain or merely a Commander? And why the squint?

My favourite uniform is later seasons DS9.
