/c/TenFoward: 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.

And yet a touchscreen that doesn't explode is still beyond all of their technology.
The consoles occasionally exploding into sparks or rocks is on purpose. It gives all the engineers that aren't the chief engineer something to do.
Ah! An excuse to post my favorite GIF (again):
Man, between Lt. Pierce and the disgruntled workers apparent from your GIF, Utopia Planitia had some problems.
Related to your second link:
When I was young, my friend and I got evicted from our first apartment for having way too many wild parties. When we were moving, we tried to fix as much of the damage as we could because we were broke and afraid of being sued.
Before we patched a big hole in the drywall we filled it with empty beer cans and hilarious pornography. They ended up bulldozing that shithole building a few years later. I hope we made somebody laugh.
I believe there was a mention in Lower Decks about having to refill the rocks in the bridge consoles.
EDIT: S5E8 "Upper Decks"
They could do it at the expense of fewer lives at least. I realize it's Bridge Crew and they'll come back, but do they really need to keep climbing the Black Mountain just to give the engineers some busywork?
Do you want explosion free screens, or screens you can sit on? You can't have it both ways.
Look, there's a reason you can wire almost any heavy machinery into any random console or wall panel... When you run this much power to every station, exploding panels are gonna happen.
It's either that, or we run our ships like Vulcans, and that's just boring.
Username checks out.
That's what happens when your computer designers seem to have a microtape loose, and decide that connecting the multi-exawatt power system directly to all the powered systems is a good idea.
Prssumably the same people who build a malevolent AI that takes over the ship every few decades, or makes it so that starships explode if they bonk into anything hard enough.
