/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I needed more existential dread so thanks for this. <3
Existential dread? ... they are my favourite scifi thought experiments
Imagine being the first to travel far away from our star system to the point where you can no longer see our home sun ... hopefully you are able to navigate back to our home star system. Hopefully the science and technology is accurate enough to return you home. Otherwise if anything is off by even a small amount, you'll either become helplessly lost, or run out of fuel to make the return journey.
Time travelling? ... any time you jump in time, it is either extremely complicated or more likely impossible to navigate back to an accurate reference point in the universe. You can go back six months in time but you'll never be able to pinpoint where in the universe you will end up because the earth is moving through space, the solar system is moving and so is the galaxy constantly through time ... so time travellers may be floating around in random space everywhere because they could never figure out where they would end up.
