/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.

“But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.” - Agent Smith, The Matrix
Star Trek meets The Matrix. The crossover I never knew I needed.
Jesus fuck we have enough obstacles as it is!
this reminds me of the story where they grew trees in a perfect indoor environment and they all fell over.
no wind. the wind stresses the trees in a way that triggers a reaction to make some chemical or whatnot that is the structure of the tree. without the stress, they dont build enough support.
So you're saying my underground tree farms in minecraft are unrealistic?
Absolutely not, Minecraft is so close to reality that it is proof children yearn to work the mines and child labor laws have deprived them or their need.
That’s not a story. That happened in the Biosphere. They gave us a presentation on it.
ha, isnt that the definition of story?
Fair point. I was just pointing out that it’s a true story.
I actually related this to a botanist once and he was absolutely floored that they didn’t know that ahead of time.
hahahah dude, i thought you were talking about the MOVIE. hahaha im so stupid.
e. i kinda miss the weasel
Do you have any sources? It sounds really interesting
No, not that I could easily identify. It was part of a presentation given by their faculty at the institute where I was working at the time. It’s pretty much the only part of it that stuck in my head because I’m a biologist (but not a botanist) and never knew that.
It stuck because it was just one of those things that you might have never thought of on your own, but once you hear it you say “Huh, that makes perfect sense.”
You could probably find a lot of material on the effects of wind on trees, but I’m not sure where/how they published their work. I can’t remember if this was the first or second iteration, either. In any case, we declined collaboration so I never got more than an hour long presentation.
You take away all obstacles and there's nothing to get in our way of thriving. I know people want to look on the bright side of things, but there is no downside to having no problems at all (problems coming up later to challenge weaknesses is not "no problems").
Honestly, I plan on retiring to Costa Rica or some beach in Portugal or something where the most work I do is ordering another cocktail. I will, it’s true, be actively withering and dying, but I’d be doing the same if I was a door checker at Walmart, and probably a lot faster.
I wonder if, by obstacles, he meant morons.
Because it fits perfectly, but I'm not certain I agree with the conclusion.
If anyone would like some obstalces, I think I may have picked up too many, going free
Wasn't that the motivation of the villain in the third Kelvinverse timeline?
Starship troopers variant:
Our species can only survive with a shared enemy
I want to know more...
I like that. It's deeper than it seems on first sight
Or we'll get really creative about football.
What... the hell?
I've read it but I can't answer that. But I'll tell you this, if it comes true I'm homesteading in Game 27 for at least 2000 years.
