/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.

Actually I did scream "I love you bro" at my best mate and then burst into tears. Granted I was very drunk at the time, however, I feel that only enhances the Klingon experience.

Do I have to make Gowron eyes? I always struggle with those.

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They really help with the "terrifying and confusing" part.

To be honest, I feel like love alone is confusing and terrifying enough. And the last woman I opened up to had at least a confused look on her face as well.

It's pushing them back in that's the worst part

I just leave them out. Such a hassle.

[–] thenextguy@sh.itjust.works 58 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

FYI, it's 'Kah-moosh-kha'

"I opposite-of-hate you."

Thank you so very much!! I was SPECIFICALLY hoping to find this the comments!

Now i want to look up klingon grammar...

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 25 points 13 hours ago

Klingon is truly the language of ~~love~~ the opposite of hate.

Worf has no ~~king~~ son, Worf needs no son.

(Side-note: Worf also wants no son!)

I dont really like star wars, but i absolutely love this meme

[–] trashman@feddit.org 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's a troll post. The picture shows a Wookie and Wookies speak Tatooine

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I thought wookies spoke time lord?

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's a trick answer, Time Lords speak everything.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 hour ago

With the exception of one word: EXTERMINATE‼️‼️‼️

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 29 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

It's not actually Star Wars! That person is Klingon, which is a character from Babylon 5. Common mistake.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 26 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Actually, it's from Battlefield Earth and they're called Vogons.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago

I thought it was a Morlock from Bill and Ted's Excellent Hot Tub Time Machine

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Actually, it's from Farscape and it's called a Scarran.

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 9 points 13 hours ago

You folks are ridiculous, that's obviously an Uruk-hai from the Harry Potter books.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Haha, you are so wrong! It's actually a baby goa'uld but since the angle here shows only upper chest and upwards, you couldn't see it sticking out of the gut.

But just look at those eyes!! Are you telling me that there isn't an inhuman glow to them ⁉️

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 5 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

What's a babby goold? Is that from Starship Troopers?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No! I believe it's from Princess Dune: 2 Quickly 2 get to Cereus (also: the search for moar money-balls)

Side-note: Scrooge McDuck loves to swim through his gould, though for some reason every time he does about a day later an alien with acid blood and an exoskeleton explodes out of his chest.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

They're the big bads of Falling Skies.

I think I get the Sopranos part of this joke, but is that over a particular music video or something? Is that relevant to the joke?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Not that I'm aware. Just looked for a Sopranos gabagool gif and this caught my eye.

~~Usher - "There Goes My Baby"~~

~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQezahghTBY%7E%7E

~~The chorus to that song is~~

~~There goes my baby
(Ooh, girl, look at you)
You don't know how good it feels to call you my girl
There goes my baby
Loving everything you do
Ooh, girl, look at you~~

~~So I think the joke in that GIF is basically supposed to just be "he really loves that meat".~~

Not sure why GIF sites seem to claim that GIF is that song, because after actually watching that music video, it is clearly not. After some more research, I have concluded it was actually from Usher - "Confessions Part II".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sy19X0xxrM

The relevant lyrics from the bit in that GIF:

I'm riding in my whip, racin' to her place
Talking to myself, preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't wanna come near me
I said, "One second, baby, please hear me"

So, it seems more like an "I love you but you don't love me back" situation or something.

I'm a fake fan.

That would constitute the offense of stalking, I'm afraid.
