/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.

This is why O’Brien is basically a god.

He’s reprogrammed the transporter to remove them.

Cold virus? Transporter.

Rumpled uniform? Transporter.

Annoying in-laws? Transporter accident.

EDIT: HAHAHA. something just occurred to me. Scottie was probably doing the same thing. Not enough redshirts? transporter "accident" makes more. It explains why Kirk is never bothered by them dying.

So what you are saying is... he stores them in the transporter buffer. In fact, this may be all that he needs for a person - you don't need ALL of someone's DNA, just a boogie (this only makes no sense if you think about it, therefore just don't and it will all work out perfectly?:-).

I don't know why but I have a childhood memory about boogers that is permanently seared in my mind.

I was at home one afternoon and picked a big flat flake of dried booger and I wanted to get rid of it. I walked down the main hallway of my home and waited until no one was looking and flicked it into my brothers bedroom. I aimed down but the thing spun off my finger, and started flying across the room like some kind of frisbee. It dipped and dodged to the left then right and landed way at the opposite end of the room. I was so amazed and surprised because it was a perfect throw of some dumb piece of booger. I couldn't tell anyone about it and I felt stupid sharing it .... but the memory is stuck in my mind.

I was never able to un-see it or un-remember it.

What did it land on? Did your brother have to touch it?

My eight year old self would have been so happy to have told you guys about that magical boogie. lol ... I can hear him giggling now. lol

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I am glad that you feel comfortable to share that story with us, your internet family:-).

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

It's freakin weird .... for about 30 years I kept that to myself thinking that I would be some weirdo or dumb kid that could be entertained by the simplest things in the world .... I share it here with a bunch of internet strangers for the first time and I feel somehow liberated or made to feel normal somehow. Thanks guys. May my childhood boogey fly high ..... lol

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 6 points 21 hours ago

I hope that perhaps you could share such with your irl family as well - but either way, we do support you being just as weird and odd and strange as the rest of us, we like it that way!:-)💪🤪🧙‍♂️

Him and Socrates knew what was up.

Sometimes it helps to pass it along to someone else.
