/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Ah, nature's perfect shape, providing maximum interior space in a minimum of surface area.

No, wait; I'm thinking of a sphere.

I hate that the basic polygons and their 3d counterparts are all people think of theyre so boring. Fuck Circles/spheres, Fuck squares/cubes, and no, hexagons are not the bestagons. You want to know what natures perfect shape is? Its a tie between the Mandelbrot Set and maybe Pascals Triangle if you consider that a kind of data structure shape. Your shape efficently packs interior space in a minimum surface area? Thats cool, mine encodes the entirety of combinatorics with fractal geometry and acts as an actual map showing the boundaries between order and chaos. Your shape aperiodically tiles the plane? Thats neat, mine geometrically encodes the logistic map which governs things like animal population changes over time.

Imagine a race of star treck aliens flying around in one of these things and tell me it wouldn't be more visually interesting than a big technophile bondage cube.
