/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.

Um, didn't humans nearly exterminate themselves? And only because the Vulcans came did it stop?
It's not well explained, but Humans were actually spacefaring for a while before WWIII bombed Earth back into the Stone Age.
And Humans agreed to a ceasefire then achieved warp-flight before they found out that there were other bipedal races flying around out there.
And they were very fuckable. Soon after, world peace was achieved.
Shran: "Why a Vulcan?!"
Archer: "Because they're cute."
There's a whole movie that focuses on the events leading up to First Contact with the Vulcans, it's called Star Trek: First Contact.
The whole movie focuses on the 24-hour period prior to first contact.
It doesn't really explain what Earth was like before half of it was nuked.
A lot of this?
WWIII had already come to pass when a pocket of humanity had begun to develop warp drive. After which, the Vulcans saw fit to intervene and raise up the pink-sk, er, humans.
Pink-skin is an Andorian insult. Vulcans just stare at us, sigh, and say "Most illogical." as they're walking away.
Edit: swapped to a catbox link, if it helps.
FYI, gifv files don't embed. Please drill down and find the original gif address.
Fuggin Imgur...
It's a tumblr source, which generally shows up for me on Connect and browsers.
I'm using Voyager, I'll pass that info along.
Imgur created gifv because they wanted people to load their JavaScript wrapper every time they viewed it. A useless, bloated format that adds nothing for the end user. Last I checked, you can still optionally choose to embed the original gif in Imgur links.
Just need to change the URL at the end from .gifv to .gif
The vulcans showed up after we'd stopped world warring. And they were butthurt as shit because they took a thousand years to rebuild after nuking themselves in a similar fashion, whereas humanity not only rebuilt but advanced in a tenth of the time.
