/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

I hate you. This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time.

Upvoted.

Do the kids still know about numa numa? I hope that greatness transcended generations

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

That was a video version of the phrase 'dance like no one is watching', he seemed like he was having an awesome time and put himself out there to see. It always makes me smile.

I sort of compare it to 'the star wars kid', who as far as I know didn't want it released and was teased (bullied?) merciless for it. Sometimes people just want to goof off and want to have fun and shouldn't have to worry about being teased cause, what is life if you don't enjoy it?

Nice one lol XD

I will never not say Paul Reubens wasn't done dirty. Peewee was great, showed my daughter Peewee's Great Adventure and she loved it. Need to get the kids on the show, because I watched it and I am well-enough adjusted.

This feels like a meme that has been kept in cold storage for the past 20 years.

No complaints - it’s just like seeing “all your base are belong to us” played straight. Truly a simpler time

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

C/StasisMemes when?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Cold storage? I believe you meant in the pattern buffer.

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (3 children)

If you understand this meme, it's time to schedule a colonoscopy...

I and my college friends sang and danced to this to cap off an all-night LAN party, 17 years ago. Now we've all got desk jobs and kids and chronic illnesses. Where did the years go!?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hell.

Those years went to hell.

MY KNEES.

My most prized possession is my collection of compression sleeves!

[–] twotonebax@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I'm old now :c

Someone hacked their university information display panels to play it instead of timetabling data all over the campus.

@Stamets what have you done? ... Now my week will be infected by this song

The original Numa Numa meme with Gary Brolsma

He seems to still be enjoying his internet fame from almost 20 years ago now! His original viral video was posted in December 2004.

Gary Brolsma's recent Youtube

There was a time where it actually required great effort to avoid this song and video. For 20 years, I have managed to do so. I am very proud to say that I’ve never seen this video.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 6 points 9 months ago

I can't necessarily say I blame you. The original video is so bubbly, cloying, and ... happy.

[–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Damn, I didn’t need this song in my head. 😂

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

enthusiastically dances

[–] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

This made me smile in such a nice way. Thank you.

[–] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It doesn't really work because the last panel has the wrong lyric though.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

This really wiped some dust off my ancient bones

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Dance, magic, dance! Where are the Trekyrinth memes? :::imperious gesture with glass ball:::::

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Ragu-sledding, yay!

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Must be Q up to his usual shenanigans.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I start singing this song every time I hear Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved".

Now I can't stop singing this in my head

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

You're welcome
