What do Namekians do?

Post by Strife1 » Sat Jan 31, 2015 12:02 pm

Opinion question. We all know that life on Namek must be very boring. What do they do?
Play golf? Plant trees? What would they even talk about?
"Muuri planted a nice tree over there, huh?"

They seem to be an agricultural society from what I've seen. Basically they are farmers. I would assume that the children have their games but they are probably very basic. Like tag or hide and seek. I don't see why the adults have much need to be "entertaining" they are just doing what they need to continue surviving.

They grow certain plants that help the time seem to pass more quickly.

They used to have space-faring technologies, so they had more than an agricultural society before the cataclysm. Moreover, I'm sure they have a warrior caste for a reason. The Namekian society we see in the manga is reduced to about a hundred people so it's probably not a good representation of what it was at prosperous time.

Well since there's no female namekians I'm going to say them having mass orgies is out the question . :cry:

They hang out in wastelands, complaining about how few friends they have in myspace and try to avoid Guru.

I hear it also does wonder for glaucoma.

All joking aside (and this time it's pretty hard to do, admittedly), hmm...well, post-Freeza arc at least, I'm sure Dende probably told them lots of stories about the adventure that he paid witness to hanging out with Kuririn and Gohan. That kind of thing could easily give birth to a 'storyteller' tradition to begin, and once Dende leaves, someone else takes over said position and starts making up stories of their own.

Well, one of them up and left to join the Galactic Patrol, so maybe it really is as boring as it looks. But yeah, Marco Polo said it; their culture and technology has been restricted significantly until they've finished replanting things until Namek was back to the way it was prior to the cataclysm. Seriously, why they never used the Dragonballs to fix things makes no sense.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the priorities on New Namek are to explore the planet and build cities.

They remind me of people at an Old Folks home. They probably complain about the one guy in that one village that grate his teeth while he sleeps. :mrgreen:

All Namekians do is wonder how the became from black to green and why they can't they stop talking about their dang-a-lang. :lol:

But on a serious note, just like other says, they just protect their planet, plant, and spit out eggs for new Namekians, therefore making the planet overpopulated.

I like to think they have hobbies like
water tasting competition . It's know as the art of water tasting. They can even tell where the water is from, what animals swam through it and even the ph level
This is not the truth but it's better than bunch of aliens who can live for over 300 years sit around all day doing nothing. Talk about being a couch potato.
