/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.

As if it were trash! Possibly the best thing I’ve ever come across in my entire life.

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

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 24 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I mean, Malort is suffering in a bottle.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks 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.

They are well aware of their brand.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The juice? Easily. I got my last bottle at a total wine.

The poster ... No idea.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks 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 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm always down for shots of malort.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm in San Mateo until tomorrow night, LMK

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

It tastes like someone fermented trashcan juice in a skunk's asshole in the dog days of summer.

[–] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

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

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 weeks 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 13 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] fireweed@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

The random sticker I found on the ground says otherwise.

[–] teft@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] teft@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks 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 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

The Malort riots changed the course of history

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Jesus FUCKING CHRIST. It's like the inside corners of a junk drawer that's been used to store cheetos and crayons for 45 years

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

Cool Meaney

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Miles ahead of everyone else in Star Trek.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

Brb, gonna go do a shot of Malort.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago
[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 2 weeks 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!”.

[–] StitchInTime@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

He’s suffered enough.

[–] PastelKeystone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This made my day. Put a big grin in it.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Malort?

O'Brien must suffer.
