/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.

This is what got me to start watching Trek and so glad I did
Oh I started last Jan (off risa) and have seen everything multiple times at this point. Went to a local fan meet-up earlier this month!
Very nice!!
It's a lifetime obsession.
Be careful though, this can lead to bad, bad places...
I hate the "Shut Up Wesley" trope, so this is very wholesome!!
I'm not sure why those are so funny. Maybe bc they are so "over the top" as to not register as being real? Like Frank Burns in MASH - if an irl person was that way it would horrifying, but as a "bit" it's funny?

Whatever helps drive engagement to Lemmy.
ENGAGEMENT. GET IT? ENGAGE.
FUCKING. LAUGH.
AEI
Oh You!
i don't usually understand them, but i'm glad people are having fun
Grew up watching TNG and Voyager but haven't really watched since. Subbed here thinking I'd get a funny every now and then. Half my feed is now Star Trek memes. No regrets.
You really should at least watch DS9 too
I've heard really good things about DS9 its actually on my media server rn I just haven't got to it yet. Guess this is the push I need, haha.
ya like jazz, Timmy?
Alt: clip from the Terminator movies of the military guy saying "Skynet's fully operational. Processing at 60 teraflops a second."
FYI Lemmy comments use markdown syntax, this means you can place the alt text in the brackets like this . Most clients display that when the image doesn't load or the user clicks on the image.
Edit: I'm not trying to complain, I think it's really good to see more alt texts.
the military guy
That's Lorian, son of T'Pol and Trip!
But is he really? He was from a future that was erased by the actions of the NX-01.
I heard he was very lazy growing up.
They called him Sloth Lorian.
60 teraflops is still pretty fast. But I can only assume 60teraflops/s is an acceleration of operational speed which would be crazy impressive.
I agree. BUT, if you allow "teraflop" as a noun, then adding an s makes it plural, and it can still be accurate to say 60 teraflops a second to mean simply (the original definition of) 60 teraflops.
One of my friends thinks I'm obsessed with Star Trek because of the memes i send her.
She'll even send me one every once in a while!
My wife thinks I'm obsessed too.
She's right, of course.
But she doesn't have to remind me of it...
Joke's on her, I turned her into a nerd. She bought the silmarillion.
She crossed thru the door. I'm impressed.

It's true, and I love it.
Sorry not sorry 🖖
Sounds like something someone else would say…
I’ve always liked this meme format, but this one in particular is great!
I've only ever watched The Original Series but I enjoy the memes regardless. Also I am not a boomer just had public access to a retro channel while in foster care which resulted in Star Trek, Svengoolie, and Naruto being a highlight.
Edit: Fucken TWO that's what you chose autocorrect?!
So when are TNG, DS9 and VOY on the agenda? Also you don't need to be a boomer to like TOS (else I might be older than I thought)
Possibly never, unless I end up in a situation where I really not some of that type of sci-fi. It's largely in that awkward area where it just makes me want to reread, watch, or play other stuff I like more. I keep rereading my Ciaphus Cain novels when I read Yojou Senki for example.
I think Lemmy would have more Star Trek content if Ten Forward hadn't killed startrek.website
The meme is meh, but that photo is hilarious.
one might even say it is a meh meh meme.
Tubazooka ftw
