/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

With this event's non-occurence, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

Unfortunately the next step is World War III which lasts from 2026 to 2053. It almost kills all of humanity and very nearly leaves the planet uninhabitable.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

We're on our way there and I think we'll almost kill all of humanity and leave the planet uninhabitable ... but I don't think we'll have any Vulcans or any other space alien landing any time soon to save us all from ourselves.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

One can always hope

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well...

Looks at current events

How much is a nuclear bunker anyways?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are we talking 1950s style or Fallout style?

Probably more than anyone on Lemmy can afford anyway

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have $11.58 with 4¢ in savings Lake it or leave it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Good news is if it's Fallout style bunkers you won't need any cash.

Bad news is that this is Vault 12.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

My state of the art bunkers can be found in any random pile of trash.

The patent pending, all natural and sustainable Bunker Box(tm), is available in sizes from infant to adult. The sturdy design may keep radioactive fallout from falling on your skin, and the thick material blocks some of the intense heat of the blast.

I’m looking for all investors, big and small.

Captain Benjamin Holt would be kind of scary if i’m being honest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Anyone would be scary with a Sisko infusion

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Captain Benjamin ~~Holt~~ Hawk

Avery Brooks as Hawk in Spencer: For Hire, wearing black shades and brandishing a revolver.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Now lets see Captain Raymond Hawk. :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Now I can't read that without hearing Avery Brooks' voice.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I really enjoy never having watched a single Star Trek anything and getting little hints of the lore through all of the memes here and there.

c/Tenforward is primarily an educational community after all!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was a terrible student in this educational community college you speak of ... where's my diploma?

... will this increase my job prospects now? I think I can build a career. ... right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Chief Transport Officer position is available on the Enterprise since O'Brien left to Deep Space 9

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

In order to narrow down your job prospects please answer the following:

  1. Are you any good at writing science fiction, or drawing sexy space babes and space ships?
  2. Which of the following motivates you the most: Money, Honour, Self Growth, or Faith of the heart
  3. Would you sleep in a bucket?
  4. Do you like quiet solitude mixed with the high paced world of transporting things?
  5. Can you smell profit on the wind?
  6. How do you feel about long stories?
  7. How long can you make the B'nar?

This community is definitively better than Star Trek.

...or, maybe, excluding Lower Decks...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

My friend thinks I'm a huge trek fan because of all the memes I send her from here

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Trying to post a video on Lemmy during the Bell Riots ....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Crow, did you know you can upload gifs directly now? It must have happened when Jadzia got us onto the interface.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Interesting ..... tried uploading some of my old GIFs (average file sizes of 2MB to 6MB) and couldn't upload them ... probably limited by file size because yours was only about 0.5MB ... GIFs are a pain because its nearly impossible to get a quality GIF of a decent size to run longer than one second and keep it under 1MB, anything longer and it easily becomes a 3-5MB file.

Same old situation ... any GIF bigger than about 1 - 2 MB and your data link gets terminated ... damned Bell Riots!

Uploaded one of my old WEBM and it seems to be working

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Guess this means the Irish Unification of 2024 might also not happen

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I was thinking it's funny that they'd write an event into Star Trek so close to the time the episode aired and then I realized it was 30 YEARS AGO

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea why you think we are in the prime timeline when we are clearly not.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We're in the mirror universe 💀

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

we're in the wh40k timeline

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Khan got pushed back, so did the riots

[–] possiblylinux127 2 points 2 months ago

Or he has already happened...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I've always wondered why Tinkerbell was so angry that she started rioting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Simple:

World war 3

???

Invent warp drive

Federation

[–] possiblylinux127 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They happened on Jan 6, 2020

Or at least that is the closed thing I've seen

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not the George Floyd protests? And I think you mean 2021.
