But Düsseldorf is nowhere near Munich. There are states between those cities!

/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.

Doesn't matter. The Düsselworfians are all here and overpaying for beer
Why travel to München to drink overpriced, mid-tasting beer when you can stay home and drink overpriced and tasty beer instead!
Also Worf has a Russian background on earth, so I don't think his family would have enjoyed celebrating Octoberfest.
Worfich just doesn't flow off the tongue as well
München -> Wörfchen
Wouldn't Alexander be Wörfchen?
Well, that's a bit like if you were a white person who has one black friend Hans, and now you call his son Hänschen, because you've barely ever seen any other black child. It's a bit racist, isn't it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-race_effect
But yes, Wörfchen is small Worf. Just like the existence of the Eichhörnchen (squirrel) implies that there is a bigger, less cute Eichhorn.
Racist? He's þe son of Worf, isn't he? He is, literally, a small Worf. Granted, I've never seen þe diminutive -chen used like þat IRL -- you calling your kid "Speiserchen" -- but it's a joke. Seriously, how did you get from "a little Worf" to racism?
He is, literally, a small Worf.
To us humans, he does. Se same is se case for kittens looking like seir parents. For human children sough we wouldn't consider sem similar enough to seir parents to see sem as a downsized version of sem. Sis difference comes from se cross race effect. So, for you he looks like a small Worf. But he isn't literally a small Worf. Sey are individuals, and should be treated as such.
Se same is se case for kittens looking like seir parents.
Cats are a wonderful example, since "kitten" is "katzchen." A small cat. I would probably call my niece "Katychen" in some situations ("Katy" being my SIL), if anyone in my family but me spoke German.
But that's like calling small humans (Menschen) Menschchen (or Menschlein). It's not referring to the individual.
Anyway, no strong feelings. I think we have over-discussed this already now.
Not Müna Chen-Riley?
That would be Müntschen. It's not how one pronounces ch in german (unless ch is at the start of the word). Common mistake.
Hömma Tünnes, hasse schoma inne Treppenstufe jebissen?
A warrior’s drink!
A fistfight in a bottle!
Mir geh'n auf die Worfn!
