/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.

There's only two things I eat for breakfast: breakfast and second breakfast.

You call it a Dad joke but I first heard it from Lucy Ricardo

Given that she helped get Star Trek going in the 1960s, I think it's perfectly okay if she created this joke!

Beautiful .... it even made me automatically put my palm to my face.

Please please please don't take my question the wrong way: how does this relate to Star Trek except by having Picard and Riker doing funny faces in the background?

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Most memes in this (and most Trek) communities are mashups of other things (shows/movies/jokes/etc).
