/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.

Also, beaming doesn't go "up", it just "goes", so you kinda have to ignore all that to enjoy this joke:-)
I did and I do.
I knew I could count on you! :-D
All that extra work extending the I upwards was wasted.
I mean, I literally lolled - people probably looked over at me strangely and I didn't even care:-P. So I wouldn't call it entirely wasted:-).
Well considering the molecules have to be transported it's possible the wall interferes with the molecules of the pencil lead as they are being torn apart and turned into energy tho I suppose thinking that way it would probably be more of a smoky dot stain rather than a line
But the molecules are NOT "transported" (as in a translation shifting, either in the direction of the transport nor in any direction - plus why assume that the ship is straight UP, it could be like a 90-degree angle while it is in orbit?).
Instead, the molecules are destroyed, being converted into energy, and then the energy is... [insert sciency-wiency stuff to make me sound smart:-P just don't forget to replace this text before posting, you dummy!]. And then they are (re-)assembled at the end location.
Except, of course, when that isn't the case.
Star Trek canon is pretty close to Doctor Who canon in being "there isn't much of one" despite some Trekkies thinking otherwise.
Or, hear me out, Barclay is somehow a literal god, and makes his own rules?
Naw, you're probably right.
BUT...!?
