/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.

You can't redshirt Grant that's pretty fucked up

Holy shit, its 4 years already... feels like last week.

Tori should be a red shirt.

Oh absolutely, his Wikipedia page is a trip if you’ve never read it. For instance we have this lovely excerpt near the top of the page:

At an early age, his father showed him how to make a Molotov cocktail. Later, he accidentally set part of his house on fire with a homemade flamethrower. When he was 19, he was nearly arrested for setting off a homemade pipe bomb near his parents' home in Seaside, California.

... Is it bad that all of that sounds so absolutely normal to me?

Small southern coal mining town. Homemade flamethrowers and explosives were right up there with throwing empty beer bottles down at the railroad tracks for killing time.

I don't know how none of us died. I think the worst was the rampant teen pregnancy, and one dude losing eyesight in one eye after getting shot in the face with a paintball gun. And one kid getting his hand caught in a stone crusher in the Masonry class.

I mean you said it yourself, if you’re surprised that nobody died, it’s certified red shirt status 😉

Less competency porn and more strapping a warp core to a photon torpedo in an attempt to make a black hole 😂 I’d still binge it

It would be Shaxs's favorite thing ever

This is why Vulcans learn how to say fuck.

Who?

/s... I liked Jessi. They were missing the mechanic dynamic after she left the show.

She also died trying to break the land speed record. And she succeeded. At 522mph in a jet powered car, the front wheel failed and she went up in a fiery crash on the Alvord Desert in Oregon.

At the risk of romanticizing her death, it does feel poetic that her last act was to push the limits of woman, machine, and physics.

She was passionate about science to the end. I'd say godspeed, but even god had trouble keeping up.

[–] Stoney_Logica1@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Oh dang. I hadn't heard she had died. :(

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Which is why there is no longer a starship Enterprise or Myth Busters in space.... the craft and crew were lost during an episode to bust the myth whether or not they could time travel by sling-shooting around the sun.

They went to the sun at maximum speed and were never heard from again.

Adam savage is on YouTube with his channel Tested

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

He's a copy from an episode they did on transport buffers

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Is... is that an Epic Rap Battles reference in the title?

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Huh, I dunno how I never saw that. I guess that's what the line in the Mythbusters ERB is referencing.

https://youtu.be/w0pnTm-KK9k?t=90 - At about 1 minute and 30 seconds in they use that line

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Am i out of the loop or are you trolling me stamets

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I think its a reference to the mythbusters quote "i reject your reality and substitute my own", but idk if epic rap battle did anything with it
