/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Ok, hear me out. What if, instead of the teachings of Surak, the Vulcans adopted the angry logic of David Mitchell? (dubvee.org)

Forgive the terrible photoshop. It's more of a conversation starter.

[At the court martial hearing]

We were observing a pre-warp civilization. The mission was going according to plan until they told me they thought their world was flat. They weren't in the equivalent of our 14th century. No. They were just so contrarian that they were willing to believe any unsubstantiated claim that had a website. They were willing to go back on the conclusion their society had rightly drawn about the shape of the planet on which they live.

Many of the people there, and by 'people' I mean 'idiots', claimed to be "questioning" types who asked why they should just "go along" with the claim that their planet is round.

Well, I told them why: because we came from space, looked out the window, and took a bloody photo.

Are we the baddies?

Oh, that photo that if you pay attention you'll notice is flat?

How can you be certain it's not a disk with textures that keep mutating to emulate a rotating sphere?

(\s of course.)
