TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: 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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

They get their... Second breakfast?
Do they get breakfast on starships? I mean, timekeeping was never quite explained. Sure, there are stardates, but how is "morning" and "evening" defined in a place that's operating outside a system with daylight reference points by default?
Or is it like it was (I guess, I'm not expert on this) from the age of exploration where time on ships was into watches and you get time specifications like "three bells into [x] watch"? A shift system with Alpha to Delta Shifts as mentioned in Lower Decks (both the TNG episode and the series) might lend itself to such a system.
But during many shows, clock times like "sevon o'clock" are given as well, but what's the reference then?
Ten Forward seems to be open around the clock and you can always create food with the replicators too. And we see the officers work in shifts. So I assume "breakfast" is the meal before your shift starts and "dinner" is after it is over. Other than that, there is probably no "meal time" as such.
We mostly follow the bridge crew around the captain but presumably there is a whole other crew of officers for the "night" shift. (In fact, there is an episode when Troi has the helm for that shift.)
