/c/TenFoward: 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I get it, it's the 32nd century and the glasses are maybe heads up displays that only he can see and use. But don't you think in three thousand years they would have figured out how to build that stuff INTO or ONTO the eye? Instead of making the person, or the person choosing to wear an ancient form of corrective lenses.

Not sure if this is true, but I remember reading that Churchill used to insert a straightened paperclip into his cigars so that the ash would stay attached to the cigar even when it was burned way down. People would be distracted watching the cigar waiting for the ash to fall, breaking their concentration and giving him an advantage

My friend's mom was a smoker and a hand talker, also didn't really ash when one might expect. She'd be waving around a cigarette with an inch ash on the end, it was wild. Maybe there was secretly a paper clip in there.
