/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.

It's true, and I love it.

[–] doug@lemmy.today 18 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Whatever helps drive engagement to Lemmy.

ENGAGEMENT. GET IT? ENGAGE.

FUCKING. LAUGH.

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?!

[–] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 3 points 10 hours ago

I think Lemmy would have more Star Trek content if Ten Forward hadn't killed startrek.website

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 47 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

This is what got me to start watching Trek and so glad I did

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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!

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

Very nice!!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago

It's a lifetime obsession.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 37 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Be careful though, this can lead to bad, bad places...

I hate the "Shut Up Wesley" trope, so this is very wholesome!!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 17 points 17 hours ago

i don't usually understand them, but i'm glad people are having fun

Sounds like something someone else would say…

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Alt: clip from the Terminator movies of the military guy saying "Skynet's fully operational. Processing at 60 teraflops a second."

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

60 teraflops is still pretty fast. But I can only assume 60teraflops/s is an acceleration of operational speed which would be crazy impressive.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

the military guy


That's Lorian, son of T'Pol and Trip!

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

But is he really? He was from a future that was erased by the actions of the NX-01.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

a future that was erased

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

I heard he was very lazy growing up.

They called him Sloth Lorian.

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.

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago

You really should at least watch DS9 too

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 12 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

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!

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

She crossed thru the door. I'm impressed.

I’ve always liked this meme format, but this one in particular is great!

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The meme is meh, but that photo is hilarious.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 6 points 17 hours ago

one might even say it is a meh meh meme.
