/c/TenFoward: 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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Why would you butcher your eyes to put electronics in there?
I was cleaning some metal tools a few days ago and I got some rust in my eye ... it's been bothering me since then but it's healing ... at the height of it, it was so irritated that I wouldn't have minded someone butchering it to fix it.
I've also had snow blindness several times as a kid in northern Ontario ... it usually happens in March / April because the snow is still on the ground and there is lots of sunlight .. it's like having sandpaper in (emphasis on inside) your eyeball that you can't relieve even when you close them. It's times like that when I wouldn't have minded someone butchering my eyeball if they said it would make things better.
On the other side of that ... yes I wouldn't want any 21st century doctor or surgeon to fool around with my healthy eyeball in any way ... but I would trust a surgeon or technician from the 32nd century using highly advanced and tested technology.
You can wear glasses too, which can be easily removed.
