/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.

All Star Trek uniforms are tracksuits.
We can progress as a species ONLY once we all calm down and commit to universal tracksuit wearing. No business suits, no status items - just comfort wear.
They make yoga clothes that can also be worn to work. It's happening, at least in places.
is there a term for that like athleisure or something similar?
There was that onesie business suit BetaBrand used to sell. I should have got one before they pivoted to all women's clothes.
And they offer pants for different leg length. Oh god. Imma spend some money I don't have /j
Yeah I'm not sure I'd categorize all the 90s-era Star Trek onesies as "comfort wear"... especially not on characters with male genitalia. Maybe the 24th century characters didn't care, but I always felt second-hand embarrassment for the 20th century actors!
Looks pretty comfortable to me! 🤷
Ah yes, the Scots.
Hey, I liked the male skants! I thought they were actually more conservative and professional than all the "here's my bulge!" onesies.
Famously the crew hated especially the first costume design. They did improve them, but they weren't super comfortable by any account I could find.
How do we know they have male genitalia?
A few frames later, they make an appearance.
Because being trans wasn't invented until DS9. (/s)
Edit: Or at least S05E17.
Season 2 episode 7
What did the old age virus have to do with gender? Or are you talking about some series other than TNG?
Sure, but in canon the space age fabric is supposed to be adaptive to a wide range of temperatures.
...which sounds like a tracksuit to me!
Lovely idea, except that to some?/many? people, tracksuits are possibly the least comfortable clothing ever. Nasty clingy sticky plasticky weak sweaty flimsy things.
I'm talking cotton hoodie and pants. Not nylon adidas sportswear.
