And that's how the humans went from world war to interstellar warp in 100 years when the vulcans took 1500.

/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.

And that is why Vulcans wanted to befriend humans as soon as possible, and other species also have their own proverbs about not messing with humans.
Vulcans befriending humans immediately has the same energy as when the crazy crackhead couple moves in next door and you're really kind of concerned for them, but make an effort to be nice and socialize with them anyway just so they don't see you as a threat
I think it was really more that all the other species naturally tend to hate vulcans and like humans. The vulcans desperately needed a popular friend.
T'Pol: It can't be done.
Trip: Watch me!
"Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible."
"The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is... not fair."
Human: "We took the second warp core you helped us build and plugged it into the first one, just to see what would happen.... It blew up. But we got to do some pretty cool science in the process!"
Vulcan looking on in pure astonishment
Vulcan: "Fascinating. You were meant to place that in another ship, or study it for improving your own designs."
Human: "yeah, crazy huh... Can we have another?"
Vulcan: arches eyebrow "Very well."
There is a word for when a Vulcan fully understands the meaning of the word "fuck".
I'm starting to think "Fascinating" is the universal translator's attempt at censoring Vulcans.
Its basically what all of them say when what they should probably be saying is "What the actual fuck is wrong with you?"
Sidenote: I absolutely cracked up in the episode of strange new worlds where Spock
SNW SPOILERS AHEAD
is made fully human and when he realizes it he just goes "What the FUCK" but of course it cuts after the "FU-"
In another universe: "Thanks for the warp core, we figured out how to turn it into a Death Star and it really helped save our bacon. Also we put them both in the rusted hulk of some WW2 battleship, best we could do on short notice"
Humans are the real space orcs.
WOT DA ZOG IZ YOU ON ABOUT HUMIE
Blast off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Cochrane: “I created a warp reactor…”
Vulcans: “it’s about time.”
Cochrane: “…powered by enriched uranium.”
Vulcans: “Oh no!”
trip is best engineer because he does acrobatics like sliding down the stairs and climbing on the warp core
