/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.

Whenever I'm confronted with the demand to provide my name, I pick John or Jen, depending on my whim, since the majority of humanity appears incapable of spelling my name, let alone pronouncing it.

Onno

That's my name, and no, I'm not related to Yoko and that's not how you pronounce it, also, it's not Oh-no.

Try: "On" followed by "No". Then do it without a break. See. That wasn't so hard.

So, forgive me for being more than slightly sceptical about the genuine nature of this coffee cup being actually adorned in this way by the person behind the counter at that coffee shop.

My first name is Kim, but I'm a dude, so they will write anything other than Kim, because obviously there is no way a guy could have that name.

Your name is Kim?

Are you still an Ensign, or did you ever get promoted?

Always an ensign 😔

One employee with a head cold away from being called "unknown sample".

My wife has a very common name so she puts the order in under Bowie, as in David Bowie.

Apparently one of our local Starbucks has an employee with that spelling as their first name but instead of bow being pronounced like in bow and arrow it is bow like in bow wow.

Hot damn this hard to explain in text.

You mean like the bow of a boat.
