/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.

Nevermind the lack of environmental suits.
Just rawdogging that new planet.
We did a scan. We only found a few dozen Ebola like viruses; I’m sure it’ll be fine!!
Ebola really only infects people who work with ebola patients, and is common in cultures where it's tradition to kiss corpses of relatives.
So hey, don't do those things, and Ebola is far less scary than most scary diseases.
Sorry 🤣🤣
Reading The Hot Zone— so have Ebola on my mind.
Remember the episode where Trip gets pregnant, and he gets all broody and he rides the man lift in engineering up to demonstrate that the things which are at perfect hand rail height, that you'd probably like to hold onto while riding a lift in a large vehicle that might move suddenly, shears right past a support in its hoist way so if you did actually hold it like a hand rail you'd cut your fingers off?
Starfleet be negligent.
Some fuckin' crewman was like "Why would anyone put their hands there?"
He has a name.
Crewman Dillard:
"Lefty" to his friends.
OSHA didn't survive WW3.
WW3 was fought against OSHA .... and OSHA lost
They were the ones writing regulations in blood!
The questions Enterprise never answered for me: When they're between planets and Porthos has to poop, does he just poop on the floor of the ship? Are there little puddles of Porthos pee that crewpeople slip on? Is there a crewman whose job is dog cleanup duty?
This conversation seemed all too familiar...
From a Risa post
That's how you know this keeps Flying Squid up at night.
If he has to break the Temporal Prime Directive a dozen, a hundred times... by the Koala, he'll get an answer!
If you teleport often enough you never have to use the bathroom, it just reassembles you with an empty bladder and mostly empty bowels. It just really sucks to be the guy who has to scrub the pattern buffers
That's what the lower decks are for
