/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.

DS9 s5e15 "In Purgatory's Shadow"
When I was a little kid I used to teleport. One second we'd be in the car driving home and suddenly I'd find myself inside my home in my bed. The transporter would even change my clothes into pajamas somehow!
They could do a lot while the people were in the buffer. Like disable weapons that were being discharged. Surprised they didn’t explore more with that on the shows, like changing clothes as you mention. Or maybe something more plot relevant. We mostly just got tons of transporter accidents, like Tuvix.
They could do the equivalent of shower-shit-shave on each transport. Beam back from that shithole planet all fresh and feelin' fine.
Now we’re thinking! Hadn’t occurred to me to remove shit from the bowels. Seems like you could just beam yourself to the bridge for your shift every morning doing this.
Time travel is preferable to being transported after drinking imo. You might end up buffered or worse...transported to a waffle house.
It's been known to happen.
When you cross into another dimensional plane and immediately forget what you went there for.
Comedian Dave Attel did a bit on this a long time ago, how drinking makes you time travel, and it’s pretty much like that except with McDonalds instead of Waffle House.
One time while drinking I teleported from the bar eating fries to a table outside eating tater tots, but this time surrounded by friends.
I'm told I said some very affectionate things to my partner, and that I did indeed finish the fries. (They were really good)
When I was in college, I only had analog clocks in my house (by happenstance; I'm old but not that old).
Had a fun Tuesday of drinking one afternoon and woke up an unknown number of hours later noticing the time was 8:30. AM? PM? Am I an hour and a half late for class or 30 minutes late for work? Fuck it, I'm not going to either, and just went back to sleep.
This is a fun game to play after day drinking and then passing out. Is it night time or morning time? I wear an analog watch. Also I don’t think my phone even tells me on the main clock display / Lock Screen.
Are you your own great-grandfather yet?
I was reading "PM" as "private message", and going crazy trying to figure out what the caption meant.
Trapped in the Internet.
Ah yes, like the time I got home tired from work during summer, went to bed, woke up to see the clock was 8:something and rushed to get out, to realise it was PM not AM.
