/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.

Why is it all shots including beverages, you ask? Idunno, started with specific moments of Janeway and Sisko in mind, then it just sorta became a theme.

Working on a TNG supporting crew set. Feel free to make your own.

For Archer I can also imagine:

Rod Stewart's "Faith of the Heart"

Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping"

Katy Perry's "Roar"

For Janeway the only song that comes to mind is Rage's "Killing in the Name of" because fuck you she won't do what you tell her.

Imagine, if you will, a person who knows one (1) of these songs. Would you say that person was old? Would you think they're out of touch? Or is it the children who are wrong?

Edit: 2, apparently.

"America, Fuck Yeah" should be pretty well known to young people. I mean the movie only came out in... Holy shit Team America is old enough to drink now...

I need to lie down.

That is some high quality birdswitharms content.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It the video that introduced me to birdswitharms as an art form

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I wondered myself and had the same reaction.

2 of these tracks are from this century, so it kinda skews the premise. Throw them away as outliers. What remains suggests at least Millennial or further back. Could also be one categorized as an "old soul" with eclectic taste in music. Now, if you'd turn down that racket and kindly get off my lawn so I can nap before bingo.

(Says the Xennial with weird musical preferences.)

Just looking up the first row of artists, I am seeing a different trend that probably explains my ignorance:

  • Khaled Mohammed Khaled, known professionally as DJ Khaled, is an American DJ
  • Ella Mae Morse was an American singer
  • Dion and the Belmonts were an American vocal quartet

I'm 43 and I know 5 of these songs; 3 of them are from the '60s, 1 from the '80s, 1 from the '90s.

The same could be said about Section 31 as a whole.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That was the idea, yes

If I say "what a nice Soong", how quickly will I be booted out of here? 😜

Eh, you get an hour, long enough to visit the bar

Nah, Picard's is Banditos by The Refreshments

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I like it, but also, that's just cheating. And a bit uncharacteristic of Picard. Good tune, though.

"Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

somehow, inexplicably, "Down Under" by Men at Work.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Saru be a captain, dammit!

That and I'm just personally curious on Stamets.
