/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.

In before people try to quote the stupid cube rule of food. That is one set of opinions that people try to claim as objective truth. The cube rule is not fact, it is opinion backed up by a poorly constructed model. By all conventional measures, a hotdog is a sandwich.

We are the Cube Rule. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your food's biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your food categories will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

That's a tough one. Spaghetti-O's fall in the same category

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I mean It’s just Cheerios in tomato juice
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

That’s almost as disgusting as real Spaghetti-Os.

All food is soup (which is just a salad with a lot of dressing).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

This is amazing. I love pedantic food arguments.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The author does not understand how ingredients work, or why you wouldn't microwave a salad.

Never would have thought of cereal as salad, but he makes a good point.

Yyyyyyyuuuuhhhhyyes?

It’s a chowder unless you used too much milk.

Cereal is over-dressed salad. That way I eat salad almost every day.

aka .... Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My personal favourite ...

Mashed Potatoes is Irish Guacamole

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Irish guacamole is spiced with salt ..... and sometimes pepper for the adventurous type

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Potatos are the starch (like rice and beans). Gravy is the mole.

Beef Wellington is just a bland imperial burrito.

You've never had a good wellington. They're fucking incredible done right.

ketchup is a fruit smoothie

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Sangria is fruit salad.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

It's a pasta sandwich.

I have identified a problem.

According to cube rule, an entire pumpkin pie is a quiche, while a serving of pumpkin pie is toast.

This means that something like "pumpkin pie" cannot be classified without specifying "whole" or "single serving." I would posit that foods should always be identified by their single serving unit, but I don't see that sorted here.

Try modulating the phase coil inverters to match the frequency of pumpkin pie.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Yes. I told my friend that I would get us a chocolate lasagna and enjoy it and she talked all kinds of shit. I brought a layered cake and she was so mad haha

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its not even a question, everyone knows hotdogs are a type of taco

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wouldn't lasagna be a macaroni cake since the dough is referred to as macaroni noodle dough?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have never heard pasta dough referred to as macaroni noodle dough...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you look at the various pastas in the store they are mostly labeled macaroni product, from elbow macaroni, to rigatoni, to linguine, and shells. Spaghetti, and Lasagna aren't labeled macaroni products, but are made from the same pasta dough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Your country is fat and uses macaroni as a reference point for pasta.

Italian sex on the beach

Wife says yeah

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's gluten free deeper dish pizza.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's most certainly gluten in normal lasagna noodles.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Oh shit, the noodles! Well I'm not gonna start a food business. I'll kill someone.
