/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.

This is a quote from a book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Congratulations, you are one of today's lucky ten thousand, and you are in for a treat! (If you like ~~absurdist~~ British humor
Amusingly the text in the image comes from the same book
Maybe, when I'm through the Disc World books.
I'd definitely recommend it if you like Discworld. I personally feel like Hitchhikers Guide is to science fiction in many ways what Discworld is to fantasy.
dalekcaan is 100% right. Sir Pterry's early books are downright Adamsinian, and while his later books trade the silliness for sharp social commentary, the humor and wit never diminish.
Where are you in your Discworld journey? Which is your favorite so far?
I'm in Men at Arms, reading in release order. I have no favourite book (I rarely have favorites of any kind), I like most of them very much, though Pyramids, ~~Faust~~ Eric and Small Gods didn't quite hit my taste. Also, Death is a hilariously relatable character.
