/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 mean of course everything is futile? Do you know how big the universe is? How long eternity is? If you wrote out the number years it will be from the big band until the heat death of the universe, you'd fill whole libraries with endless books crammed full of zeroes.

The secret is to shrug, give up, have some pizza, plod along until it's finally over, and hope that death is oblivion and not some unending afterlife.

Where are my Absurdist fellows?!

Who knew that defeating the Borg was as simple as sending them into an existential crisis tailspin collectively.

They wouldn't survive 2 minutes after assimilating me.

After assimilating us, they would function like this:

OK, Marvin.

“Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the Universe to it," said Marvin.
"And what happened?" pressed Ford.
"It committed suicide," said Marvin and stalked off back to the Heart of Gold.”

Hey now, Marvin finally found peace when he finally got to read God's Final Message to His Creation:

spoiler“We apologise for the inconvenience.”

Existence is futile.

Come on! You gotta resist that!

Wait. Shit.

Aw, don't be sad! Maybe a song will help:

Yeah, but now FB reels and IG have tons of porn in them now. Like they're not even trying to censor it anymore. I wonder if its a new application of ai or what.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Meta used to be very puritan about porn, mightve changed, when they see porn drives engagement.

The occasional boobie keeps me on Lemmy longer...

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Momma said there would be Mondays like that.
