/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.

~~One slight, tiny, intsy-wintsy, little discrepancy: 8/30/2024 is a Saturday; not Friday.~~
If ever there was a day to not wake up, I think today is that day. 🤦♂️
I don't know where you live, but it's Saturday, August 31st here.
Can confirm, the 30th was a Friday for me
I wasn’t in SanFran yesterday but I’ll wager it was the 30th there.
Crew, I think dohpaz fell into a spatial anomaly. OPS get a tractor beam on him so we can slingshot him to the right date.
Might want to look at your phone real quick. You happen to be quite wrong.
If you told someone 30 years ago to look at their phone to get the time they'd look at you weird.
It was, however, common to listen to your phone to check the time.
I don't remember the local number to check the time when I was a kid. But I remember the local number to check the weather.
334-1515. "Brought to you by WGTC, where we've got the country."
Don't ask me how I remember something like that from 40 years ago.
The phone was used for all sorts of pre-internet information back then. Pretty innovative. I remember calling up the university agricultural extension to get plant info by entering various codes (entering, as in rotary dialing each number). Also the futuristic registering for college classes through a touch tone phone vs. standing in lines.
I remember calling up for.movie times. Sitting there waiting for every fucking movie to be listed before finally hearing yours and hitting the button, them listening to every fucking date before hitting for Saturday, then hearing every fucking time until the evening ones come up and your friends yells something at you and you miss the time.
For a while, the town I lived in had a big sheet they distributed with a ton of different free phone services you could use- including games! A bunch of choose-your-own adventures which would be updated regularly, I think once a week. It was great as a kid.
There was one that would say, “At the moan, the time will be [HH:MM] and [SS] seconds” and then there’d be a woman doing a sexy moan.

Time and the weather. We had it good. Still works too, so maybe we still have it good. =)
30 years ago they had to look at their phones? Doesn’t their implant tell them when they think of time?
Dohpaz, friend, pal, please... look at the date.
This was like, one of the easiest things ever to double check before posting my dude.
