/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. 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.

I'm afraid there's a typo in your title. It's "a two-hoo."

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Fixed, thanks.

I wish I understood what was going on in this meme but unfortunately there is...

It’s the punchline from a commercial for Tootsie Pops that first aired in 1969, though still airs decades later in shorter versions. No idea if it got used outside of the US.

The all threes image comes from near the end of the TNG episode “Cause and Effect”, a favorite of this community.

Wait…

Are we in a time loop?

Is the tootsie owl a clue?

No beard on Geordi, or VISOR(tm) on Riker...

Yeah, we need to keep the internets clear for fresh memes. Like this one:

I like to believe this one is his phone wallpaper.

Maelle's thoughts on her way to the Paintress.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that game worth getting? I know it has good word of mouth, but you never know.

If you like JRPGs, great music, and a very strange anime-like story then yes. It is very good. Hell, I didn't even really feel like playing a turn-based game when I started it and the story and music alone are what I keep coming back for, but the combat is actually really dope too.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I miss turn based rpgs a lot. I'll have to grab this on sale. thanks, K!

Hey ChatLCARS, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
