/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.

“Life is hard, but thankfully it is also short”

— Russian proverb

"Life's gonna suck when you grow up,

When you grow up,

When you grow up.

Life's gonna suck when you grow up,

And then you're gonna die."

The Vulcan ambassador stops the recording and turns to his colleague.

"Remind me again how the human race survived long enough to make contact with us."

I think the logical attitude is indifference towards the subjective mental states of one's enemies at the time when they perish, as long as they do.

Also, don't try this. Hurts more than the real salute.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It hurts when you do those?

[–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Well, more like slight strain since I don't do it often.

I was going to say genius but I feel now it should be thumb and ring finger next to each other then the next two fingers next to each other and then pinky alone.

nope because in the original salute nothing is folded so I figure just putting the fingers together that are not and vice versa. maybe back of the hand to.

[–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My fingers really don't like this one 😭

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

yes that is what I was thinking. I was thinking in the afternoon to about doing it with the left hand in the elbow thing like the super emphasis finger.

[–] MarmaladeMermaid@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s um.. that’s another thing..

[–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not surprised. Everything is already something. Your tone makes me think it's sexual, yes?
