/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Someone else can field that one.

I didn't get it for a solid 2 minutes before realizing you have to pronounce it wrong for the joke to work

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Seriously. It's pronounced frAHnk-en-steen

Think I'll tell myself that's why it took me awhile too 😖

There's also Karl Marx's sister Onya.

She was a famous runner in her time and is still remembered at the start of every event.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago

TIL. I thought she was Groucho's sister.

Technically "Frankenstein" is the creator, not the monster itself.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you see the way the creature was treated? Frankenstein was the monster.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

I hadn't considered that they could both be monsters in their own monstery way.

[–] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

He IS the monster

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The real monsters are the people who that it's the name of the creature.

I mean, yeah, it takes a monster to build a monster.

Victor's creation's name was Adam. Adam Frankenstein.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He's never given a name in the book, so no.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

This is also pedantic.

[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

His cousin Harveywein was also a monster

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago

No pattern buffer for you...

Oh, I see what you did there!? Brilliant!

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 3 points 1 month ago

I’m gonna have to call my dad for this one.
