/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

On an unrelated note, how do I erase something from my memory banks? (The trick seems to be to leave a placeholder, so that I do not simply and immediately repeat the same trap again; otherwise I could continue seeing the same thing dozens, even hundreds of times, but it would be impossible to know! ๐Ÿคช)

Thanks you @stamets@lemmy.world for introducing this gem to me

Anytime my friend <3

That being said, I'm still surprised you've never heard of it. The youtube video has 12 million views!

It was posted 19 years ago too. I'm surprised myself.

[โ€“] Stamets@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well at least you discovered it now and not later <3

I am a better person for knowing this exists

[โ€“] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm a better person for knowing you, bro

I (American) lived in England when this came out. It was quite the phenomenon at the time! I have sung it to myself many times over the years.

US-born, UK-raised, there in '87. TIL there are people (Trek fans, even!) who didn't know about this!

I think this was all over Europe, it was a big hit in the Netherlands.

surprised that they didn't reference that song in lower decks
