      I don’t know about the rest, but the fingers don’t really look wrong at all. Just tried it myself and thumb looks the same.

        If that watch is based on the Casio Vintage LA680WE (33.5 x 28.6 x 8.6 mm), that left thumb’s first knuckle is >2x longer than its length, making it >2.6 in long and therefore ~2.6x longer than normal on a cishet, white male in his 20s-30s like the one simulated above… 🤢😅

          Why do you assume that the knuckle begins there? It’s way more likely to just be the skin between the thumb and the index finger. Again, try it out in a mirror and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

    Wonder if in the future there will be a “space” accent, will it be specific to planets, stations or moons. Or will it stay similar to the accents from countries that founded the colony?

      The Expanse has Lang Belta, which is a creole of mostly English with a shitload of other languages thrown in. It seems like an eventuality to me if we do wind up having people living and working in space, maybe even for their whole lives. Beltalowda, sasa ke?

        In “2010 : Odyssey 2” a American/Soviet crew is together for so long that they start using ‘Ruslish.’

      Different Dialects appear to emerge from having rather isolated parts of a culture.

      With the very recent invention of the world wide web there is a good chance we eventually (and sadly) evolve out of it into a singular mixed human culture and language.

      Even then it could happen during a space colonization age that sustainable colonies somehow get cut off. Outer worlds comes to mind.

      How the dialect would evolve is determined of what the people spoke first. Their children will learn the same language but with less examples of “correct pronouncing” combined with teenage thrive to do things different (without external influence) things slowly start to sound different.

      Star trek’s voyager would not have enough time to develop anything different however they might have encountered unique enough situations that call for new terminology. Things like new tools or medical innovations. But also the unused potential for more aliens in the crew. Language is constantly evolving no matter when or where.

        Earth might end up having a universal dialect over time if the internet keeps getting more prominent

        However, space colonies would be pretty cut off from it, due to light speed latency. You couldn’t have a real-time voice call with someone in the asteroid belt or mars. You could maaaaybe have one with someone on the moon, but even a second long delay is brutal

        So it’s still reasonable to assume that, yes, there will be space dialect even though the internet is a thing

      Don’t the scientists in Antarctica have a shared accent they start to develop over time? Maybe it would be something like that.

        I think it would be way more extreme than an accent. I could see a mixing of some of the most popular accents into a kind of space pidgin language.

    I remember an article back in the 90s where the author said somebody dropped a source code printout of a C compiler on his desk and it was like 4 inches thick, and he compared that to late 80’s Turbo Pascal, a compiler and full IDE that took up 32k.
