/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.

Sorry, you've both missed and got the point. My question wasn't about whether a human hand is physically capable of placing an 'O' in a specific square. I linked to that video because that game makes no sense. The video answers my question; this end game could arise only through extreme stupidity.
Here was your description of the video:
I think most people would interpret to mean, "When you look at the board, you'll initially think it's nonsense, but this link will explain how it makes sense in a real game." (Because nobody would wonder about reaching the end state unless they already suspected it was nonsense.)
You could have alternatively explicitly introduced the video by saying something like, "This tic-tac-toe game makes no sense. Here is a video explaining why."
My comment was intended to give context so that others wouldn't watch the video with the wrong idea about what was in it. It's one thing to click on a link to a normal web page and be disappointed about its contents, but a video actually takes time to watch.
