/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.

I've been watching star trek (TNG, DS9, Voyager) and still don't get the red shirt reference. I know it's about them getting killed all the time but I just don't see it.

Cause you didn't watch the series the meme is made upon (TES)

When people conjure mental male representation of Star Wars, they think of fat neckbeard Lucas and the lizard. When they think of Star Trek, they imagine sly silver fox Picard and Datas most probable mechanical prowess.

This tracks.

Are you sure Riker doesn’t perform jizz?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Riker got that taken care of before even joining the academy.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

All crew report for mandatory jizz-ectomy

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

I have both tshirts, my trustworthiness also happens to fluctuate wildly based on my apparel.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have this T-shirt. People have no idea what to do.

I was trying to figure out where I got mine from, but I can't find the store. That image was from Etsy. I know there are others in similar styles for sale, but mine is just the outline like that.

Edit: also, the outline on mine is yellow.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Depends. Are they wearing an Empire shirt or a Rebellion shirt?

Probably because of the virtues that each fan seem to seek with their choice…

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jizz was first mentioned in canon in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi junior novelization, authored by Ryder Windham and released in 2017.

Oh, then they absolutely knew.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term "jizz-wailer" to describe a musician, but the term "jizz" as the name of the musical style was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.

The original RotJ novelization was released in 1983. Don't discount Legends!

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, that unfortunate term has been around forever. I think I first ran across it in a West End Games sourcebook from 1990-ish.

Some of those jizz wailers have some real spunk to play in a dive bar in Mos Eisley

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We don't have a style of music called jizz, because we classify our birds with it instead.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

So I could talk about the jizz all over those boobies (or tits) and not have it be NSFW?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

That's how I make it through the dark times.
