/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.

Sounds like American democracy ..... you need democracy and we'll destroy your country and kill your people until you get it.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

We want you to be free, so will kill everyone until you are free. Then if you make a "freedom choice" we don't like, we'll force more freedom on you until we are satisfied

Without a pet-tax image I'm not sure I can upvote.

Charlie (extremely stupid) and Ghost (slightly less extremely stupid). It looks like they are friends. They are not. Well... Charlie likes Ghost, it's just not reciprocated.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

They sound like the Star Trek / Star Wars fandoms.

Regardless, they both look like good friends to have.

May they live long and prosper and may the force be with them.

[–] Lommy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their cuteness makes up for the (alledged) stupidity in my opinion. The hair struggle is real.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only reason we keep them around is because they're cute. Ghost is mean and hates everyone and everything but us and has also brought dead animals or sometimes dead half-animals through the dog door- she won't let us have them sometimes either, but the worst was waking up to the back half of a rabbit and blood all over the floor. Meanwhile, Charlie wants endless pets and if you stop, he'll scratch you over and over until you do it again. I try to stop him from doing it to my face, but he's gotten my eye a couple of times and somehow not ripped it out. He also bites my daughter at random. Not hard, but he bites her. Then he wants her to pet him again. But at least he's stopped pooping in the living room.

[–] Lommy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, they are lucky to be this cute. They sound like more than a hand full!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well, no major health problems, no strangers (or even friends) attacked, and since we have a dog door, they get lots of exercise, so overall they're not as big a handful as they sound. But they do annoy us.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With those descriptions, now they really sound like the Star Wars / Star Trek fandoms

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which one is the rabbit murderer that hates everyone and everything?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ghost is definitely Star Wars .... don't give them a light saber or a Death Star

Charlie is definitely Star Trek because he wants everyone to like them .... to the point of scratching your eyes out

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But Charlie is the stupider one!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say that either of them were smart .... and I should know because I like both Star Trek and Star Wars

Ghost will Force Choke you and Charlie will Mind Meld with you for a cookie .... but it still doesn't mean they are that bright

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, but does Star Trek spend a year pooping in the living room every time you forget to close it off?

[–] shundi82@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The weirdest thing just happened.

I noticed, that Charlie looks an awful lot like my dog, Bane.

So I dig through some photos to find a picture of him to post in a reply - and the first one I find is one with him and me - wearing a Star Wars shirt.

So I have to ask: Are you my evil/parallel universe twin? :-P

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Bane is a cute doggie, but looks a bit bigger (Charlie is only 14 pounds) and Charlie also has one "broken" ear that won't stand up.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this the Star Trek Wars?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

No, it's the Star Wars trek, a vast migration of Star Wars fans.

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a fan of both, and of ironic t-shirts, you would immediately pique my interest for a conversation.

Something, something Dave Filoni....something something Mike McMahan....

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bah. It's no fun wearing a shirt like this if you don't get angry stares.

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would give you the Vulcan hands and say "May the Force be with you".

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

A long time ago in a galaxy very close.

I have never gotten the desire to enrage people like this.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't actually think I'll enrage anyone.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

It's just a silly joke that makes people smile, that's all

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I like the one better where there is a picture of Patrick Stewart with the caption "use the force, Harry - Gandalf", 4 in 1

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It should say Star Trak

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Dan of the Game Grumps wore a similarly provocative shirt on the most recent episode of The Grumps.

Needs a few curry stains for that!

[–] mingistech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, this won’t enrage either side. Hence not a single comment upset.

Microfiber lint roller. You'll use it so much you need a holster.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There's no point. The second all the hair is removed, more hair gets on it.
