/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.

Futurama warned us of this. Well, maybe it was brain slugs. But the parallels!

I just want the Holodeck/Trek-Style holograms to be invented, I don't think that's too much to ask for?

I'll settle for SAO-style VR as a stopgap (Minus the locking in its users part (literally lmao))

What they seldom or never mention in the Trek universe is the number of dead, wounded, maimed, disfigured, decapitated, dismembered, disemboweled, misconfigured, unconfigured, undone, well done, rearranged, decompiled and disintegrated people and animals it took to perfect the technologies they use safely on a daily basis.

I'm definitely not going to get my body anywhere near any new technology that might even remotely affect my physiology.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well the Holodeck is just light in a force field, so your physiology is safe for the most part.

Plus, we could invent teleporters just for packages, UPS and FedEx would vanish overnight lmfao

your physiology is safe for the most part.

Such calming reassurance 😄

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hum, they show all of that all the time.

Yeah. I’ll wait for a couple thousand successful and safe subjects before I consider it. Then another few thousand before I sign up.

All of this, but from a company not run by Phoney Stark as well.
