/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.

He’s suffered enough.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 1 points 1 hour ago

Omg this is radiant.

Look at him, in all his glory telling you “don’t worry lad, everything is ok, go have a feckin drink and party. Fuck the Cardies. You go lad!”.

Yeah but O'Brien is Irish-Irish, not Chicago-Irish. He wouldn't be caught dead with the stuff.

[–] teft@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

His ancestors were american irish so maybe it's a heritage drink.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

The random sticker I found on the ground says otherwise.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Upon closer inspection, O'Brien seems to have broken his wrist and lost his right thumb. Suffering checks out.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 18 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

I mean, Malort is suffering in a bottle.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 10 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.

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 2 points 4 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.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They are well aware of their brand.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 4 points 9 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 9 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 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm always down for shots of malort.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in San Mateo until tomorrow night, LMK

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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 6 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 5 hours ago

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

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 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 5 hours ago

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

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] teft@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe they got the same hand guy that played flute for JL.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] teft@piefed.social 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Lmao somehow I never actually noticed that, but that totally makes sense

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

Like the juggler in Labyrinth, there was a hand double used in these shots.

Anyone have this meme in a higher quality format? I need it for... Science stuff.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The contents of the cutout... Ill make it myself later if noone has that on file

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You are a good person, and people like to say nice things about you.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 9 hours ago

Someone out there is weeping, retracing their every step. ‘My Malört O’Brien! Where is my Malört O’Brien?!’

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 hours ago

O'Brien and Malort was the crossover I was waiting for this entire time

[–] teft@piefed.social 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Temporal anomaly. You should alert temporal investigations.

You really don't want to be in possession of something outside its proper time frame when those guys show up.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They’ll have to kill me. This is far too precious to surrender. This is worth dying for.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

The Malort riots changed the course of history

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Cool Meaney

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 10 hours ago

I would frame it!
Or make a fake ID with it!
Or glue it to a stick and make him talk!

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Miles ahead of everyone else in Star Trek.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 4 points 10 hours ago

Brb, gonna go do a shot of Malort.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 10 hours ago

That's just too much Malort... And he's not even Chicago Irish. That bottle might kill the poor Chief.
