/c/TenForward: 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.

A vanilla mocha is a 3 bean soup

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Do not like.

Use soy milk to make it a 4 bean soup.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just a heads up, this was posted yesterday.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

My client currently shows both posts adjacent to each other, lol.

Oh would you look at that, both are upvoted and it seems to be staying that way!

Wtf? Even my descriptivist ass is telling whoever came up with that that they're wrong. A burrito is a calzone? An enchilada is sushi? Words mean what you mean when you say them, but they also need to have some structural stability. Out here calling sushi toast. Wtf.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You poor unsaved soul. No, sushi (such as pigs in a blanket) is sushi. Toast (such as nigiri) is toast.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I ask for salmon on a bagel, and I get butter on toast, we're having words.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry, what's the difference exactly? That's just two terms for a flat layer of starch with non-starch on top. "Toast," if you will.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

You're describing a pizza. Toast is a biscotti.

Ugh. How awful. How could a burrito be a calzone when a calzone is a ravioli?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

But if those are served in a bread, cereal is quiche

[–] Steve@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nachos are open faced sandwiches

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A common misconception. You see, nachos are foods composed of a starch within a substrate of non-starch. What you're calling "open faced sandwiches" are a form of "toast" in which non-starch sits atop a layer of starch.

In my world, calling cereal a soup is like calling a grape an apple. Soup is not an encompassing category, soup is a genericized standalone object, along the lines of a platonic form. The same is true of a hot dog. When we reference a BLT as a sandwich, it is simply referencing the generic, rather than the specific, it's like referencing a tissue rather than a kleenex.

Within this framework, there are no real sandwiches. There is no real soup. That utensil you might eat it with? Not real either, champ.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There is an argument regarding morning soup?

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Depends if you call the sandwich next to it a grilled cheese or a melt

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My answer to this is "technically it is but shut up"

Only some cereals are soups. Lucky charms in milk is a soup. Frosted Flakes in milk is not. A soup has to be a collection of different ingredients in a liquid medium.

Is Trix a soup? I have no clue.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago

Milk is soup. Tomato soup is soup. Tomato soup with crackers is soup. So frosted flakes is soup.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

There are five Trix!

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I don't need this crises right now

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A hotdog is a taco. Starch on 3 sides.

Is cereal soup, no since milk is optional

[–] WILSOOON@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Cereal is a salad

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't every meal technically soup?
