/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
That is also something I wonder about. Most people don't seem to care if it's real or replicated, but the people who do care, are very adamant about something being different in replicated food.
I doubt I would notice. I mean, I don't find processed food disgusting compared to fresh all natural stuff. I'll pretty much eat anything other than broccoli and cauliflower. 🤷🏻♂️
My take is that the food is just a little too perfectly middle of the road preference wise. As if the foods were cooked with perfect heat so that no piece is burned a little more cooked a little less. Sure it tastes fine, but it doesn't taste authentic. Because authentic food isn't about perfection, it's a dynamic balance of happy accidents. Maybe also because replicated food is designed to be safe. Sometimes the best food isn't strictly safe. BBQ for instance would not taste the same is you removed all the carbonized carcinogenic bits. Coincidentally broccoli and cauliflower also taste fucking amazing if you add those crispy burnt bits by following a cold sear recipe. (America's Test Kitchen has a good short video on the process if you're feeling adventurous.)
