/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

"Dragostea Din Tei" (pronounced [ˈdraɡoste̯a din ˈtej] ⓘ; official English title: "Words of Love",[2][3] also informally known as "Maya Hi" and "Numa Numa") is a song by Moldovan pop group O-Zone, released as the second single from their third studio album, DiscO-Zone (2004). The song's title is Romanian for "Love from the linden tree".
Excuse me Europe, but I have to ask: What the fuck?
Excuse ME! You weren't aware of it?
This is, what made this track to an everlasting Internet meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JpMPAaQSyQ
Man, I miss having fun on the internet without the fear of millions of people bullying/doxxing me or a corporation using my likeness to spread viral marketing/train their shitty AI.
I always thought Numa Numa guy looks like he's having a lot of fun
It's weird. I think half of the people who watched it were like you (and me) and the other half were like, "ha ha fat guy."
But then I think most of the ridicule of that Star Wars kid, who ended up having serious psychological issues stemming from it, was because he was fat too.
I know the song. I didn't know anything about the weirdness behind it.
I don't get it, what's so weird about it?
For one thing, "Love from the Linden Tree" is a weird name for a song. For another, the band is Moldovan, but the song's name is in Romanian.
Languages in Europe do not stick to national borders per se. History and all that.
Looking it up, seems like Moldova speaks Romanian, so nothing weird about that?
And is that really a "weird" name for a song? Don't forget it's gonna sound awkward since it's a translation, but it seems like a mostly typical name for a song.
I thought they spoke Moldovan?
The page you linked says
Outdated name for the Romanian language in Moldova
However, I don't know the details, so if Moldova has a different variant or dialect, and the song title doesn't use that, you might have a point.
For one thing, "Love from the Linden Tree" is a weird name for a song.
Excuse me Europe, but I have to ask: What the fuck?
Northwestern European here: I had no idea at the time and still don't. I hereby pass this question along to Eastern Europe.
Baby don’t hurt me.
Do the kids still know about numa numa? I hope that greatness transcended generations
That was a video version of the phrase 'dance like no one is watching', he seemed like he was having an awesome time and put himself out there to see. It always makes me smile.
I sort of compare it to 'the star wars kid', who as far as I know didn't want it released and was teased (bullied?) merciless for it. Sometimes people just want to goof off and want to have fun and shouldn't have to worry about being teased cause, what is life if you don't enjoy it?
Nice one lol XD
I will never not say Paul Reubens wasn't done dirty. Peewee was great, showed my daughter Peewee's Great Adventure and she loved it. Need to get the kids on the show, because I watched it and I am well-enough adjusted.
This feels like a meme that has been kept in cold storage for the past 20 years.
No complaints - it’s just like seeing “all your base are belong to us” played straight. Truly a simpler time
C/StasisMemes when?
Cold storage? I believe you meant in the pattern buffer.
If you understand this meme, it's time to schedule a colonoscopy...
I and my college friends sang and danced to this to cap off an all-night LAN party, 17 years ago. Now we've all got desk jobs and kids and chronic illnesses. Where did the years go!?
Hell.
Those years went to hell.
MY KNEES.
My most prized possession is my collection of compression sleeves!
I'm old now :c
Someone hacked their university information display panels to play it instead of timetabling data all over the campus.
@Stamets what have you done? ... Now my week will be infected by this song
The original Numa Numa meme with Gary Brolsma
He seems to still be enjoying his internet fame from almost 20 years ago now! His original viral video was posted in December 2004.
There was a time where it actually required great effort to avoid this song and video. For 20 years, I have managed to do so. I am very proud to say that I’ve never seen this video.
I can't necessarily say I blame you. The original video is so bubbly, cloying, and ... happy.
Damn, I didn’t need this song in my head. 😂
enthusiastically dances
This made me smile in such a nice way. Thank you.
It doesn't really work because the last panel has the wrong lyric though.
This really wiped some dust off my ancient bones
Dance, magic, dance! Where are the Trekyrinth memes? :::imperious gesture with glass ball:::::
Must be Q up to his usual shenanigans.
Ragu-sledding, yay!
I start singing this song every time I hear Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved".
Now I can't stop singing this in my head
You're welcome
I don't get it.
Numa Numa!
