/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.

Someone should introduce her to caffeinated gum.

Miles and Julian were impressed with gum by itself. Imagine Janeway's face when she is introduced to it. I bet Katy would set up a transporter cycle to swap out her gum on the regular just to keep the caffeine flowing in.

What it feels like to chew Warp 5 gum.

Great diplomacy and hijinks.

Is that the one where her and Number One run around doing crazy shit, or the one where they all get turned into Vulcans (and gain logic somehow without any of the work) but she goes full paranoid Romulan?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The former, where they play Enterprise bingo.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago

That was it lol

Aunt Kathy is the kind of person who’d have a fun addiction in an age where 99.99999% of people don’t even know about gum…

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I guess it depends on what’s in the gum. Otherwise it’s an oral fixation.

She should try some of O’Brien’s scotch gum.

Speaking from experience, you may as well just take pure caffeine pills. But the more you strip away the ritual and nonfunctional aspects, the less Trek-friendly it is. They just don't do performance enhancing drugs, it goes against their ethos.
