/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. 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.

Whatever helps drive engagement to Lemmy.

ENGAGEMENT. GET IT? ENGAGE.

FUCKING. LAUGH.

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is what got me to start watching Trek and so glad I did

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh I started last Jan (off risa) and have seen everything multiple times at this point. Went to a local fan meet-up earlier this month!

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Very nice!!

It's a lifetime obsession.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 5 points 21 hours ago

It's true, and I love it.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Be careful though, this can lead to bad, bad places...

I hate the "Shut Up Wesley" trope, so this is very wholesome!!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not sure why those are so funny. Maybe bc they are so "over the top" as to not register as being real? Like Frank Burns in MASH - if an irl person was that way it would horrifying, but as a "bit" it's funny?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 19 points 1 day ago

i don't usually understand them, but i'm glad people are having fun

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I've only ever watched The Original Series but I enjoy the memes regardless. Also I am not a boomer just had public access to a retro channel while in foster care which resulted in Star Trek, Svengoolie, and Naruto being a highlight.

Edit: Fucken TWO that's what you chose autocorrect?!

[–] Grenfur@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Grew up watching TNG and Voyager but haven't really watched since. Subbed here thinking I'd get a funny every now and then. Half my feed is now Star Trek memes. No regrets.

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You really should at least watch DS9 too

[–] Grenfur@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

I've heard really good things about DS9 its actually on my media server rn I just haven't got to it yet. Guess this is the push I need, haha.

Alt: clip from the Terminator movies of the military guy saying "Skynet's fully operational. Processing at 60 teraflops a second."

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

60 teraflops is still pretty fast. But I can only assume 60teraflops/s is an acceleration of operational speed which would be crazy impressive.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

I agree. BUT, if you allow "teraflop" as a noun, then adding an s makes it plural, and it can still be accurate to say 60 teraflops a second to mean simply (the original definition of) 60 teraflops.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

the military guy


That's Lorian, son of T'Pol and Trip!

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

But is he really? He was from a future that was erased by the actions of the NX-01.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 22 hours ago

I heard he was very lazy growing up.

They called him Sloth Lorian.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

One of my friends thinks I'm obsessed with Star Trek because of the memes i send her.
She'll even send me one every once in a while!

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

My wife thinks I'm obsessed too.

She's right, of course.

But she doesn't have to remind me of it...

Joke's on her, I turned her into a nerd. She bought the silmarillion.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 22 hours ago

She crossed thru the door. I'm impressed.

I think Lemmy would have more Star Trek content if Ten Forward hadn't killed startrek.website

Sounds like something someone else would say…

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

I’ve always liked this meme format, but this one in particular is great!

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The meme is meh, but that photo is hilarious.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

one might even say it is a meh meh meme.
