/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.

We have a rule against AI posts, and I accidentally posted one without considering. Sorry about that.

Well, he did well with the Nanny so I think he can do plenty of good work.

A real world equivalent is a weasel in the wild. My dad was an indigenous trapper in northern Ontario where we come from.

He always warned me about weasels and to leave them alone.

They look like cute little intelligent creatures. They look like they could even be friendly.

But if you ever approach a wild one to try to hold it or touch it, it is very timid and frightens easily and will fight and bite. Most small animals in the wild have a bad bite but a weasel is something else. Once it bites, it won't let go and there is nothing you can do to break it. The bite is like having a pair of lock vices with teeth. Dad warned us that he had killed several of these cute little creatures and had to remove the frozen jaws with metal tools or a screw driver to remove them.

He often had run ins with small animals like this that tried to get into his food supplies

So if you ever come across a wild weasel .... think of it as a Moopsie.

EDIT: just for the record so that people don't think I would want to randomly and blatantly want to kill these things on site .... I've never killed one. I respect them, I stay away from them and when I did get one in my space or property, I spent my time making it as uncomfortable as possible to make it leave. My family and my culture may trap and kill them for food and the fur but personally, I don't or ever have. A rule that my hunter/trapper father taught me a long time ago was to leave all animals alone and let them live, unless you absolutely need them in order to survive .... or if the animal is endangering your life or the life of others. I've had access to a grocery store all my life, so I took that lesson to mean that I should never have the need to kill anything for any reason.

This could totally be a Moopsie:

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

From what I learned as a kid from my parents who were born and raised in the wilderness ..... these things are dangerous.

It's basically a furry snake with feet and teeth .... and it's smart, fast and can squeeze into anything. I had to deal with a couple over the years and they are very intelligent to the point where you think they are trying to outsmart you, entice you or lure you.

Definitely a Moopsie

There is one species of weasel in Colorado: Ermine (or short-tailed Weasel). I've seen one just once in the mountains, on the other side of a small-ish pond. It was definitely cute from a distance, but we never got close. I'm now glad we were at a distance (assuming they behave similarly to their northern neighbors)

Actually they bite like rats.

Rats have three types of bites, and the severity pretty much boils down to "how much did each set of incisors separate and interlock with the ones on the opposing jaw". Bite force of 24,000 psi. Respect ze rat, especially pet ones.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

That sounds about right .... I was so thoroughly taught not to go near weasels that I've never let one near me.

I'll add rats to that list too
