/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.

Go onto a standing shower with a good door seal and let it rip. It's the worst thing in the world

Since my first time seeing those EV suits (which was in the 1080p remaster of TOS), I have wondered about the visor portion of the costume, which is obviously made of a very fine mesh instead of a solid sheet of plastic or something. Was that just for production reasons (making breathing easier for the actors, less glare for the cameras, better sound quality of the actors dialog, things like that), and the only reason I can even tell in the first place that it is actually mesh is just because I am watching it fifty years later in a quality that was unheard of at the time of filming? Or is it actually supposed to be a fancy futuristic mesh-like material that just has properties far beyond what we have now (like the mesh masks worn by surgeons in Babylon 5)?

I'm pretty sure they were counting on the low resolution of TV of the time. I'm a big fan of this exo suit, BTW.

Uncertain, but it's funny you bring up the quality of the suits as I've already prepped a meme addressing that. Might hold off 'til tomorrow though. I'm already 4 deep today.

No matter what you see or hear, it's all just a dream...

Do most people actually find their own farts disgusting?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I certainly do, though they generally don't seem as repulsive as those belonging to others.
