Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

What helped me to do this is (when I had a whole book of these) was to hold the picture beneath my face and look at a point in distance and then raise the book in front of me. Later with computer screens I'd just bop my head up, fix my eyes and then lower my head on the level of the picture. Then just glancing up before looking at the picture was enough.
Nowdays I can just relax my eyes while I look at the picture. It takes like 10-15 seconds depending on the resolution but it's neat to watch the pattern slowly fade in.
I was having a hard time getting cross eyed stereograms to work, and stubbornly kept trying until after 2 or 3 months I finally succeeded. It was so neat I looked at thousands of images right away. That, however, has ruined my ability to learn how to see parallelview images, singe my eyes just default to crossed when I try to align the elements. I've not been quite as stubborn about it, but trying has also been a lot more frustrating.
