/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.

You have to be really into Star Trek or terminally online to even hope to understand why anyone would be laughing at a toy and a pack of lights on a store shelf.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What? But I understand it, and I haven't watched Star Trek.

Oh. Oh no.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

THERE! ARE! FO-five LIGHTS!

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

At least you’d be in good company

There are LAYERS of Trek nerdom in here. Layers!

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How many layers are we talking about? Four? Five?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 12 points 5 days ago

... there's no way to tell.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 19 points 5 days ago

I see no problems here, just a simple pack of ~~four~~ five lights...

It's like they slapped the paper mache head onto that doll body from Captain Picard Day.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wait there was a paper mache Picard head in that ep?? How am I not remembering this.

Thank you. I remember the banner but forgot about the rest of the kids art.

This gives me similar vibes as on Voyager when Seven’s borg kids are supposed to be making geographic shapes out of clay and the one makes Seven’s head.

For a minute, Picard in the thumbnail looked like this:

Took me clicking on it to see the full size and figure out what sub I was in.

Disrespectful meme of the VP? You will now be strip searched and deported.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

From the land of infinite freedom and unlimited free speech...the group that couldn't shut up for 4 years about LGB FJB...it's gonna be illegal to speak negatively about the current shitministration

The new dictator has declared the previous freedoms obsolete.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 5 days ago

Well I do hope they get that in the right order!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

Picard seems cool with it.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Is this a hidden moth meme?

[–] klu9@piefed.social 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

A reference to the torture scene in the episode "Chain of Command".

"There are ZERO MOTHS!"

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

This was my initial thought too until I read the box.
