/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.

This put me in mind of Pogo's Data & Picard. It's time for it to go viral again

From the wikipedia page of the artist that did that:

In a YouTube livestream that was uploaded in 2016, Bertke stated that he has a "fairly robust resentment of the gay community".[18] In the same video and on the topic of the Orlando nightclub shooting, a terrorist attack at a gay bar in Florida in 2016, he said, "It amazes me to see the West welcoming a culture through the floodgates that wants gays dead. I think that's fantastic"

Bertke was criticized for a 2015 video that derided feminists as gold diggers and "making misogynist arguments against women's rights".

The artists ideas aren't very much in line with Star Trek in my opinion. I have avoided him and his music ever since these happened.

Well then. Geordi, please erase memory engram.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 months ago

I didn't know that. Thank you.

That kid fucking kills the mannerisms. Especially for data.

[–] randomuser38529@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Curious, is it pronounced Data or Data?

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Definitely Data.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It's been a spell. Much better produced than I remember.

I miss the hey day of YTMND. When memes flowed like water and the soundtrack of my life increased daily.

Now it's all TikTok shorts that use the same 30 seconds of the most popular music in everything on there and everything else is political. 😒

[–] NessD@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait. This was exactly ytmnd. An overused sound and and a 3 sec looping gif. Ahead of it's time.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Most of the music on ytmnd was grabbed from just about everywhere. You wouldn't find most of those songs on the radio, at least not in the time that they were being used on YTMND. Tiktok songs however, just look at the billboard top 100 and you've got your tiktok playlist.

Odd, works for mobile. Thanks.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It does in Voyager. It breaks in firefox it seems. Odd

Eye drops are always recommended for Terrans. (Works in Firefox and voyager, if that's what you are after)
