/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardate

This was to "avoid continually mentioning Star Trek's century" and avoid "arguments about whether this or that would have developed by then"

You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first meme censured… the first shitpost forbidden… the first Loss denied – chains us all irrevocably.'

It wasn't until I saw this gif a while ago, made me realize I've misheard that line all these years. I thought he was saying "some Monday detail". Like one of those things you don't wanna bother with this week so you'll look at it on Monday...

I know that has six digits but that was the dialogue.

Obtuse in this case is referring to the pointlessly complex Stardates used in Star Trek.
