/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.

I shall try some of your burnt replicated bird meat.

I wonder how many klingons have gotten food poisoning from trying raw chicken, thinking it is some trial of strength.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't they have hardy immune systems, or did I fall for some propaganda?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I believe so yes. And given that they frequently eat their food live/raw, I'd bet they have an easier time with salmonella than humans.

But to what extend is the question I suppose.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Would a replicator make one salmonella and all?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Probably not. Which makes medium rare chicken theoretically safe despite the horrifying texture I'm sure it would have.

But also I'm pretty sure chickens still exist, and could be processed for food the normal way, leading to klingon salmonella trials.

It looks like federation replicators do not replicate ANYTHING alive...

Which means chicken sushi is on the menu!

Lol I love his line just before it where he's like "how old is this? It looks like it has been lying in the sun for some time"

EDIT: Before anybody misunderstands this joke, no, Tina Fey is not dead, and no, I am not wishing anybody dead.

Wouldn't be a lemon party without old Dick.

If I, Harriet-- I don't like "Tubman". It sounds like a dude. Let's change it to "Tubgirl".

Every day after? Leola root.

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hand to God thought this was a post about reusing food for leftovers. I now realize what we're actually talking about and FINGERS FUCKING CROSSED.

[–] call_me_xale@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Care to fill in the rest of the class?

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Southern fried chicken = Dolly. Curry chicken = Tim Curry. Orange chicken, if there is any justice in the universe = Trump.

[–] milkisklim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Well today did give us "The Butcher of Bosnia", so there's at least that.

[–] TheRagingGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately we ended up with chicken primavera 😢

[–] milkisklim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a coded reference to the two celebrity deaths that occurred recently, dolly and Tim Curry, with a wish about a certain person who is often called Orange and is not Dutch Royalty.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, with our luck it'll be Willie Nelson

Did somebody say curry?

Dave Lister eating a curry.

Orange chicken is gross. I dislike meat with sugar on it in general, though.
