/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.

As if it were trash! Possibly the best thing I’ve ever come across in my entire life.

I mean, Malort is suffering in a bottle.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Had to look it up:

Jeppson's Malört is a notoriously bitter, wormwood-based Swedish liqueur that has become a Chicago cultural icon, known for its intense flavor and "rite of passage" status in the city's drinking culture. Introduced by Swedish immigrant Carl Jeppson, it's a type of bäsk brännvin, traditionally consumed as a digestif, and is famous for its unique, herbal, and citrusy bite that is loved and hated in equal measure.

Sounds about right.

They are well aware of their brand.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Irresponsible? Yes. Good for sales? Somehow, also yes.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Can I find this in the SF Bay Area in under 22 hours?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The juice? Easily. I got my last bottle at a total wine.

The poster ... No idea.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Shit. I don't think I can take on a whole bottle. Can I just pop by your place for a shot?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm always down for shots of malort.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in San Mateo until tomorrow night, LMK

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oof, I'm a good hour plus away with any traffic. You can definitely find it in bars though!

Best bet is probably craft cocktail bars.

Just start bar hopping and have a shot of Fernet if they don't have malort. That's the delicacy we're known for anyway.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Multiple visits and all those people I'd have to talk to? My battery is already low!

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Shot in the dark, but maybe !bayarea@lemmy.world has someone more knowledgeable about that vicinity.

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 2 points 8 hours ago

Kind of tastes like Sambuca to me, and then the aftertaste is so bitter it seems like you need to call poison control.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

It tastes like someone fermented trashcan juice in a skunk's asshole in the dog days of summer.

[–] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 2 points 8 hours ago

I've already said yes, you don't have to keep selling it to me.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

You take that back! Malort is golden nectar of the gods!
