/c/TenFoward: 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.

Somewhat related- we drove through the Wisconsin Dells earlier this week. They had this in an ancient Greece-themed amusement park. Obviously, we had to take a photo.

They also had giant robots. You know, like they had back in the bronze age.

Also, and I didn't get a picture, they had a reproduction of the Coliseum. The one in Rome. Built by the Romans.

I don't think they're very consistent.

There needs to be another Trojan horse within for Linux, occupied by another Trojan horse for Arch. Kind of like equidae matryoshka dolls but the last horse is a penguin donning a fedora.

"I use Arch btw" has become the new "And my ax!"

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago

"and my Arch btw"

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

It's Trojan Horses all the way down

I've used Star Trek to describe something to 911 when my mom had something wrong with her and it was like that episode where everyone starts speaking gibberish.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Everyone had aphasia, what was up with your mom?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 8 months ago

They never really knew what was up. She had a slightly low blood sugar level (she had diabetes) which would explain the lack of awareness, but not the random nonsense words she was speaking.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

911 what's your emergency?

DARMOK AND JALAD AT TANAGRA!!?!

Sir, did the walls fall or are your arms wide open?

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Big Darmok at Tenagra energy

Gotta swap "star trek" and "normal conversation"

[–] qisope@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

swap? no, there is no normal conversation

I’ve commented about this in several other communities, and the mods of this community are some of the worst offenders.

So am I, tho ;)

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, there's a reason they are mods of this community.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Ironically, it has nothing to do with shitposting :P

But it is a good reason

This site can never forget its roots are in Risa

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Well, also the bad place from which we originally took refuge.
