/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.

I think we'll have the Bell Riots for about an hour and skip straight into WWIII

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

That's probably true :/

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 46 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Oh fuck... I didn't remember that it's supposed to happen this year.

That's heavy.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago

The thing is, the Bell Riots were supposed to make everything better (until WWIII anyway). I'm not optimistic about that part.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 11 months ago

Heavy? You keep saying that. Does something happen to earth's gravitational pull in your future?

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

You mean WW3, which by canon is an historical event that needs to happen for the federation to be a thing?

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 39 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

Bell Riots come first, then WW3. Can we skip both maybe?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

what about irelands reunification, skipping that as well?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it will be Irish reunification in the morning, Bell Riots by noon and WWIII by 3pm

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 11 months ago

ah nah, sorry. My time schedule is already full on that day, can we post pone WWIII?

[–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry, at the rate we are destroying our ecosystem we will be dead before WWIII happens. 👍

Gene editings right on schedule for khan too, we have the rudimentary tools now and the first one being seriously investigated is re-activating a damaged gene that allowed our ancestors (like pre-human but the gene is still in modern humans in its damaged state) to produce their own vitamin C.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Skip? With the way things are going, we’ll do them twice.

Why do people still put up anti-ai signatures? It looks as tacky as the people who post "My data isn't for sale facebook!". To think it actually works is even more ridiculous...

Do you even have a lawyer capable of suing any ai training model for your data?

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's why its far more practical to just buffalo buffalo buffalo put a random string of gramatically correct nonsense into your comments whenever you can remember too.

[–] reddithalation@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

ai companies are already having issues with (and not doing) training on new data because lots of it is llm generated, a tiny tiny fraction of that being grammatically correct but nonsense really won't do anything.

also, to make enough nonsense to get the llms to reproduce it would need like, a large fraction of the internet to be complete (human generated) nonsense. at that point you've ruined the internet in a different, entirely human caused, way.

We can make a better federation, with blackjack and hookers!

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can we have the Planetary Union instead? They have Twinkies in their food generators.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Plus lots of alcohol on board. I'd serve on Orville in a heartbeat.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but synthohol though: No hangovers or cancer.

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have you seen Scotty's stash?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it's right above his lip

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

Dabo and Dabo Girls aren't good enough for you?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

If there is ever a president that would build sanctuary districts, it would be Mango Mussolini

[–] match@pawb.social 7 points 11 months ago

The riots are supposed to happen before the election actually!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

48 days! I'd better contact my fellow gimmies in sanctuary 4567 to fill up our ration cards and make sure our internet cards are working.

[–] Potatisen@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Did the Trump shooting instigate it? Like a Ferdinand type of situation?

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Who knows. The recent Supreme Court decisions also made things more tense. This might be the worst few weeks since Jan 6th. Or nothing will happen, I hope it's that one.

WWIII: The Stupid War

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If the shooter turns out to be homeless...

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Latest is that he was a 20 year old registered Republican, who had a social media post about ending the "Evil Epstein Empire"

The social media thing is the only one I've not seen fully verified.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 11 points 11 months ago

I just saw this episode for the first time a week ago and it was worrying kind of funny to see the date. While I'm not in US, Europe isn't doing much better lately.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago

I like the red X

Who's our Chris Brenner?
