/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.

What's with the background

Make it grow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Outside of the innuendo, I suppose the Rascals would work.

🎶 Let it snow🎶

🎵 Le tits now🎵

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

My mom has some holiday decoration blocks that spell "Let it snow". It has become a tradition of mine to rearrange them into "le tits now" and see how long til she notices. Good times.

Americans have no idea how to pronounce van Gogh. Literally none of the phonemes in Gogh are pronounced similar to the phonemes in “go”.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mainly get "van go," but also the occasional "van goth."

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At least that last one gets the “o” sound right (but nothing else).

“G” is a velar fricative, “o” is the short o as in “top”, and “gh” is the hardest, raspiest fricative you can muster.

[–] HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Like the Klingon dish gagh?

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

No, not like that. That uses the English g sound.

Make it flow should have been an image of Patrick Stewart in Dune

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

Make some pho.

Make it crow.

Make it tow.

Fake Bonobo.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Careful, the mispronunciation police will tag you for your use of pho.

[–] quinkin@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It was actually Gogh that made me ok with it. We are obviously flying a little loose.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hate to say it, but "Gogh" is not pronounced "Go." It's more like "hah."

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Edit: It was a bit of bait on my part to draw out the pedantic brigade. Remember, I'm also a Whovian.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 3 points 3 months ago

that was such a lovely episode!

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 months ago

Vincent van Gogh definitely does not fit in there, unless you butcher his name.

[–] Pancito@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How does 'Make it Gogh' even fit?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Americans tend to pronounce his name like Van Go, not the fancy Dutch way.

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

Aaaah! Now I get it!

Sorry I'm German, so our pronunciation is closer to the Dutch, so it didn't make sense to me

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Make it low (decibel or height)

Make it dough (money or bread)

Make it disco

Make it glow

Make it tallow

Make it mow

Make it velcro

Shinzon, a clone of Picard.

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Man I say that last phrase to myself multiple times a day. I have a bad case of "put something down, lose it forever" thanks to adhd. Where are my keys/phone/shoes? I look for things to make me go.

I love the Ardra cameo at lower left. First space scammer they encountered, love that ep.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Surely Vash would have been the better choice... Or perhaps that lady who was a gift between world then the ferengi tried to steal her... And she imprinted on Picard...

...Or maybe the daughter of the fifth house of Betazed and the holder of the sacred chalice of Rixx?
