/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.

That is a misconception! Star Trek is, in fact, a show about the weirdest chairs you've ever seen.

A screencap from Star Trek: Deep Space 9, depicting Constable Odo walking in front of a desk with spindly bulbous chairs.

A screencap from Star Trek: The Original Series, depicting Spock sitting on an orange chair which resembles a folded ribbon.

A screencap from Star Trek: Discovery, depicting Saru sitting on a white couch that resembles a lot of layers of white cushions, near white chairs which look somehow wrinkled.

Personal Note: Why oh why can't we have better microblogging interaction and I have to keep making the crossposts manually ๐Ÿฅฒ

Fun fact: Star Trek set designers don't typically build weird alien chairs. They just go buy them. Those are real products for humans!

Every so often I continue to be impressed with some of the unexpectedly specific sites that someone took the time to make.

Right?! This is why the internet doesn't totally suck yet!

The cups too; a lot of the glassware in TNG was made by Bodum, and in DS9 by Highwave.
