They are referred to as Minifigures by Lego themselves. https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/minifigures

Lego is entitled to be incorrect.

Nvidia (who makes the RTX 4080Ti graphics card) can tell me the Ti is pronounced “tie” all they want. They are wrong. It’s “tee eye”. I will die on this hill.

Pretty sure the inventor of the “gif” stated that it’s supposed to be pronounced “jif” but he too is completely wrong.

Ngl I assumed this (pronouncing the letters as letters) was the correct way, because I thought that the Ti had something to do with a little element called Titanium, and last I checked that is how one read symbols on the periodic table.

Lego are bricks, even the people. Minifigs are bullshit impersonations of Lego.

Minifigs are smashed up and used to create minifignewtons, which are the subsidiary units of fignewtons per square metre, also known as a FigPascal; a measurement of fig-based soft biscuitness.

Unpopular Opinion

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
